mjzee Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago In the booklet accompanying the box "Bud Powell - The Complete Blue Note and Roost Recordings," Bob Blumenthal writes "After several erratic sessions released on Design, Norgran/Verve and RCA Victor, Powell returned to Blue Note to record three albums in 1957 and '58." Which recordings are these? I've never heard of the Design label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romualdo Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago The Design label was launched in 1957 as a subsidiary of Pickwick Sales Corp. An article in Billboard (15 July 1957, p. 51) announced the entry of Design into the market with its first 24 releases. The next set of records was released at the end of Dec. 1957, according to Billboard (23 Dec. 1957, p. 17). The last release that year was catalog number DLP-56. https://www.discogs.com/release/2821523-Various-Modern-Jazz-Hall-Of-Fame-Volume-1 https://www.discogs.com/release/28057503-The-Jazz-Stars-Progressive-Jazz Various artists compilations originally released on Debut label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) https://www.discogs.com/label/72707-Design-Records-2 Lot more if you click ‘show more’ right under the start of the verbiage about the label (or I’m getting a ‘show more’ on iPhone).

mjzee Posted 6 minutes ago Author Report Share Posted 6 minutes ago Yes, but which sessions were recorded for Design? Blumenthal seems to say that there was a session for Design. Maybe it's just an error on his part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
