Via Steven Cerra's blog, this from Noal Cohen:

I just wanted to alert you the the fact that there will soon be released an
Uptown Records double CD of bassist Chubby Jackson. This will include Boris
Rose recordings of Chubby's band (including Frankie Socolow, Al Porcino,
Gene DiNovi, Tiny Kahn, Marty Flax, Rob Swope, Teddy Charles) live at the
Royal Roost on March 5 and 12, 1949. This was an exciting bebop band that
was only around for a very short time.

The stuff that was out before on MOPAQUE CJR-300? The cover of that LP, at any rate, looks very Boris Rose-ish.

So which is now out next? This Chubby Jackson CD or the Howard McGhee CD discussed elsewhere in this forum?

The newly appeared 2-CD Uptown set OSCAR PETTIFORD -NEW YORK 1955-1958 (UPCD 27.86/87) presents the inimitable leader in Birdland and Op's Black Pearl broadcasts featuring an array of stars, including Donald Byrd, Johnny Coles, Art Farmer, J. R. Monterose, Gigi Gryce, and Hank Jones.

The groups go from sextets to nonets and big band performances, and with the sole exception of one of the Birdland shows (which only appeared on a long unavailable Spotlite LP), are all previously unissued, not even being (yet) listed on the Tom Lord Discography!

The broadcasts are all in good sound quality and showcase rarely heard formations by such a brilliant artist as Pettiford, whose groups unfortunately were not as frequently recorded as they should have been (Pettiford unexpectedly died in Copenhagen in 1960 from a virus closely related to polio at the age of 37). This amazing set, showcasing more than one hour and a half of music, makes then a worthy addition to his catalog.
