In the first phase John Tchicai did supply a lot of information on his recordings. However – because of the complications after he suffered a stroke in June 2012 – he did not see the final result. Edited by Erik Raben Please mail all corrections and comments to [email protected]. Content The Discography covers John Tchicai’s recordings 1962 – 2012. Available video recordings are also included. The Detailed Listing of Issues has information on the issues (LP/CD names etc.) – followed by the year of recording. An overview of some of the most relevant issues is found in the Selective Listing of Issues. LP/CD titles as well as the titles played are generally written with initial capital letters – except for titles in Scandinavian languages. It has to be remembered that this discography – like most other discographies – is not faultless! The above mentioned listings are separate .pdf documents and the Adobe search functions can therefore be used to locate specific musi- cians, issues etc. Instrumental abbreviations acc accordion hsc harpsichord alth alto horn keyb keyboards arr arranger ldr leader as alto saxophone mand mandolin b bass mar marimba barh baritone horn mcs maracas bars baritone saxophone mel mellophone band-vcl vocal by members of the band org organ bassax bass saxophone p piano bcl bass clarinet perc percussion bg bongo drum(s) picc piccolo flute bj banjo sax (unspecified)
