Shrdlu Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 I was not very precise when I commented. I wrote "Discogs", but I didn't mean the vending site: I meant https://www.jazzdisco.org/ Quote
mikeweil Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) They are copying from the Ruppli volumes just as everybody else, and other unreliable CD credits and internet sources, The only accurate and reliable discos ate those on jazzdiscography.com. Compare the Joe Henderson disco there with the one on the site you listed. Same with their Fantasy listings - same errors as everywhere. Edited December 11, 2021 by mikeweil Quote
Shrdlu Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 I checked the listings in that discography for Joe Henderson and Andrew Hill. They are pretty good. They do not include the new tracks in the Mobley and Henderson Mosaic sets, but I guess they will update the listings in due course. They don't have one-line session indexes, so you have to wade through all the details to find what you need. I think that is a serious drawback that makes it tedious to use. The discography that I referenced is pretty accurate, and much easier to use. I have found it to be very useful over the years. I have not found many errors or omissions. Anyway, there is room for both. Quote
mikeweil Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 Some of Michael Fitzgerald's discos do need updates. What do you mean by "one-line session index"? These files are session based ..... Quote
Shrdlu Posted December 12, 2021 Report Posted December 12, 2021 I mean that there is one line for each session, on which you can click if you want to see the contents of the session. This makes it easy to get quickly to the session that you want. Herr Fitzgerald makes you wade through pages of everything to reach a specific session. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Somewhere in my home is the Riverside discography. I want to get volume two of the Verve discography, but every seller is over $200. Too insane for my pocket Edited January 21, 2022 by Hardbopjazz Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Offer withdrawn. Apparently unwanted. Edited January 27, 2022 by Big Beat Steve Quote
