and probably many others. do they have another Table of Contents that lists all the discographies?

I've often wondered why the material seemed never to be getting bigger.

How do you find this stuff?

in each discography, on the right side of the page, there's a 'see also' section that lists other musicians.

i was looking at this

http://www.jazzdisco.org/charlie-parker-memorial-concert/discography/

happened to see vi redd's name on the right side in the 'see also' section, and realized that she wasn't in the main Table of Contents. then i just randomly chose a musician discography, and compared some of the names in the 'see also' section to the Table of Contents.

the names in the 'see also' section change for each discography (maybe randomly generated).

Bloomin' 'eck! Random discographies! The mind boggles. What WILL they think of next?

I've stumbled across a couple other "hard to find" pages over the past couple years. Thanks for starting this thread - it's a great reminder.

As usual with jazzdisco.org, one can't really rely on these being anywhere near 100% correct, or up to date.

I sent them a minor correction once.  Never heard back and the correction wasn't made.

yeah, and those unlisted ones seem to be full of holes (going from experience, not from the ones listed above - but if stuff like regularly released Blue Note or Prestige albums are missing ...)

maybe they're to be considered in progress (not sure there is any/much of that, don't visit the site often these days)

It must be some sort of work in progress.  The Doug Watkins discography has a total of two entries.

They are "Leader" discographies I believe.

?  Certainly not all of them.  Not even close to all, although (for example) the page for another bassist, Paul Chambers, lists only his sessions as a leader.

 I am only referring to the ones linked to in the first post of this thread and the Doug Watkins.

If you edit your URL and type in a musician's name, if a discography exits it will bring you to the page. I just tried one and it worked.

Kenny Burrell entry is only for sessions he led.
