Very nice. If you've not already, please allow me to recommend Live At The Golden Circle. And of course The Shape of Jazz To Come is required listening.

I have Shape... Free Jazz... This Is Our Music... plus the aforementioned. I have a few more for the Atlantic sessions to go.

 

I've not checked out the live records yet, but I will. 

 

Have you heard Science Fiction?

You bet! It's a different animal from a different era than what we have been bandying about, but it is a great record. Bit of a change for OC, yet an organic one.

I will grab that after I finish my Atlantic set

Yeah, that would honestly be my suggestion and, more importantly, represents his natural progression as well. That said, don't completely skip over the Blue Note and Impulse! years. Though somewhat overlooked, there's some real gold there. Especially, but not limited to, Live at the Golden Circle 1 & 2 and Crisis.

I am sure that I will head that way at some point.  I usually exhaust everything from the artists once I get going

It looks like an expanded reissue of The Sonny Clark Trio will be out on stupid Black Friday. Hope it's not too limited because I ain't standing in a line.

I remember many years ago some guy at a record swap had on original pressing of Cool Struttin' in pristine condition for $200. I was younger and even poorer, but damn. Regrets.


Those things usually never come when you got the scratch.

Greetings all, curious if anyone has seen this Count Basie album art anywhere before: https://imgur.com/gallery/0TxFw

The four 78s inside are an album by Count Basie and his All-American Rhythm Section called Blues by Basie, released in the mid 1940s on Columbia Records (C-101.) 

 

However, I can’t find any representation of this album art anywhere.  


The cover I have, with a photograph of the Count on keys, is totally different from anything I can find online pertaining to C-101, or any other Basie release.  Here is the traditional album art to C-101 for reference, it’s an illustration of a blue hand : https://www.discogs.com/Count-Basie-And-His-All-American-Rhythm-Section-Blues-By-Basie/release/6906195

 

Is mine (The Count on keys, real photo) alternative album art, a variation on the standard (blue hand illustration)?  Did someone put the 78s from C-101 in a different Basie album  Columbia was selling?  Any clues very much appreciated!!!  

 

Pics of all 78s and the rest of the packaging here:  https://imgur.com/gallery/uziXh.   The other Columbia releases they are pushing in the packaging go up to C-110 (a great Cougat rhumba album) from 1945, so I don’t think this packaging was created after 1945.

 

This would have come out the year WWII ended, pretty crazy.

 

Many thanks for taking the time to read this, I’d be thrilled with any ideas, leads, or anything to help solve this mystery.

 

Cheers,

Miles
