I wonder if Boris Rose's daughter will ever find a buyer for all his tape reels of broadcasts before they deteriorate too much to be digitized?

I always thought it stood for “dumb researcher.” I think the label often relied on Boris Rose’s deliberately incorrect dates and venues, though I bought a fair amount of Musidisc LPs in the 1970s.

Me too. I still have them. Only one time I was quite angry: There was one with orange cover titled "Bird, Bud, Fats 1949" and as the drummer was listed Max Roach. I already had the CBS double album  "One Night at Birdland" (Bird,Fats,Bud,Curley Russel, Art Blakey) from 1950 and thought it might be an ideal thing to hear Bird,Bud,Fats this time one year earlier with Max Roach on drums. Especially for Max Roach I bought it and then heard that it´s four tunes (one even incomplete!) that are identic with those on the CBS album. 

So eventually I sold that LP but kept all the others that I still have (mostly bop stuff and one Coltrane with Wilbur Harden which might have been a Savoy session...
