Album Title Index Album Title Index (updated December 26, 2011) (Wolf Schmaler) Explanatory Information <1> Articles (The, A, Les, Die, Il) and first names at the beginning of an album title are not considered in the alphabetical order and listed in brackets, except they are an essential part of the album title (for example: Thelonious Himself). Numbers in titles are listed after letters. “[+1]”, “[+2]” (indicating more tracks than on the original) are not treated as part of the title <2> Album titles beginning with a number or a Roman numeral are listed after “Z”. “&” is listed like “and”. <3> The list includes all mentioned album titles in The Reference, with Coltrane’s participation or not, also album titles mentioned in the “typos and small corrections” and “issues/reissues” lists for the web site (marked as: “<see typos …>” or “<see “issues/reissues”>”). These entries and according page numbers are in bold types. There are bold notes “<for research>”, too, for releases that need a further check - these will be replaced in a future update. <4> Page numbers through 366 refer to the Chronology, page numbers 367 and higher refer to the Discography or Appendices. <5> Many albums are listed twice or more times, under titles and different “subtitles”; an example: CD Rhino R2-71255 “The John Coltrane Anthology: The Last Giant” is listed under “C”: (The John) Coltrane Anthology: The Last Giant and under “L”: (The) Last Giant: The John Coltrane Anthology <6> In a few cases reissues with a different title than the original are only listed for the first session they appear in the discography, but not for further sessions - so in these cases the page numbers do not show all mentions of this special issue. <7> The original issues are listed to differentiate issues of the same title. Labels that are written out in full in the Reference (Prestige, Columbia, Blue Note, Atlantic, Impulse! …) are abbreviated here (Prst, Col, BN, Atl, Imp …) album title issue page(s) A Abstract Blue CD Tel TRCD 1007 641, 647, 693, 736 Acoustic/Kind of Jazz CD Sony SICP-747 441 (The) Acoustic Miles CD Col CD 27000262G 435, 441, 506, 529, 555, 605 (The) Acoustic Miles Davis CDPony Canyon no no. 435, 441, 506, 529, 554, 604 Acoustic Side/This Is Miles, Vol. 1 CD Sony SRCS-6841 441, 506, 524, 554 Acoustic - This Is Jazz # 8/Miles Davis CD Col/Leg CK 64616 441, 525, 554, 604 (Cannonball) Adderley LP GdJ 13 551 (Julian "Cannonball") Adderley LP Everest FS 261 551 (Cannonball) Adderley and John Coltrane LP BN FCPA 6202 486 (Cannonball) Adderley & John Coltrane LP Ph 6336 242 550 (Cannonball) Adderley/Compact Jazz CD Mer EJD 1013 550 (Cannonball) Adderley/Compact Jazz CD EmA 842930-2 551 (Cannonball) Adderley - Finest Hour CD Vrv 549678-2 550 (Cannonball) Adderley in Chicago 12 Mer 45 S-7 551 (Cannonball) Adderley - Jazz Masters 31 CD Vrv 522651-2 550 (Cannonball) Adderley ; John Coltrane LP Amiga 855492 550 (Cannonball) Adderley Meets Miles Davis/ CD GOJ 53125 505, 511, 553, 562 "Dr. Jekyll" (Cannonball) Adderley Quintet LP Mer Wing SRW 550 16362 (<The> Cannonball) Adderley Quintet in Chicago LP Mer MG 20449 550 <see “issues/reissues”>: 550 (The Cannonball) Adderley Quintet in San LP Riv RLP-311 550 Francisco Affinity Jazz CD Aff CD 102 647 Africa - John Coltrane & Wilbur Harden CD Vg 650 129 518, 527 Africa and India LP JM CJZLP 3 623, 641, 690 Africa/Brass LP Imp A(S) 6 607, 609, 614 <see “issues/reissues”>: 610 (The) Africa Brass Sessions, Vol. 2 LP Imp AS 9273 609, 610, 614 Africa Brass, Volumes 1 & 2 CD Imp MCAD 42001 610, 615 Africa Brass, Volumes 1 & 2 CD Imp 243580 610 Africa/Brass, Vol. 1 & 2 - The John Coltrane CD CTI PDCTI 1113-2 610, 615 Quartet Africa - The Savoy Sessions CD Svy ZD 70818 518, 527 Afro Blue LP GL JJ 613 698 Afro Blue demo LP Prb SBP 1025 621, 690, 700, 746 Afro Blue Impressions 2 LP PL 2620-101 693, 697 Afro Blue Impressions CD PL 2620-101 693, 697 After Dark 2 CD Playboy Jazz 7507 449, 513 After Dark II 2 CD Playboy Jazz 7518 429, 477 After Hours - Coleman Hawkins DVD Rhapsody Films 342 Ah-Leu-Cha / `Round Midnight 7 Col 45 S-73-C 413, 440 Ain't Life Grand/Art Blakey’s Big Band and LP Aff AFF 106 496 Quintet Featuring John Coltrane All About Prestige Jazz, Vol. 1 LP Prst SMJX 10107 447, 452 All Blues/Miles Davis CD MJ MJCD 1090-2 584 All Mornin' Long /The Red Garland Quintet LP Prst LP 7130 490 (The) All-Star Sessions/Elmo Hope 2 LP Mil M 47037 426 All That Jazz 3 CD Col/Sony 440 473633-2 All That Jazz 4 CD All That’s Jazz 629 ATJCD 8003 All That Jazz Is Back CD Fan OJCCD 1001-2 418 All That Jazz III - 1998 Wherehouse Jazz Sampler CD GRP GRD-8894 709 Alternate Takes/John Coltrane LP Atl P 6128 A/ 557, 564, 566, 570, 596 SD 1668 (The) Alternative Miles Davis CD Col/Leg SAMPCM 435 10165-2 Alto Masters: Great Moments in Jazz Vol. 2 LP Swing Treasury 406 ST 109 (The) Amazing Shoichi Yui, Vol. 2 LP BN PRP 8269 485 And Then Again LP Atl 1443 319, 320 Another Tracks of ‘Kind of Blue’ CD Core Collection 555 CC-001 Antologie Jazzu 4 LP Supraphon 531 015211 / 14 ZD (Harold) Arlen Songbook: Over the Rainbow CD Definitive Records 572 DRCD 11276 (The) Artistry of Kenny Burrell 2 LP Prst SMJ 9026~7 513 (The) Artistry of Mal Waldron 2 LP Prst SMJ 9016~7 464, 466 (The) Artistry of Miles 7 Col LSS 80 434, 554 (The) Artistry of Miles Davis 2 LP Prst SMJ 9022~3 429, 447 (The) Artistry of Red Garland 2 LP Prst SMJ 9028~9 429, 447, 481, 491 Artistry of Thelonious Monk LP Fon SFON 7064 476 (The) Art of Jazz Saxophone 5 CD Delta 15977 515 (The) Art of Jazz Saxophone: Explore CD Delta 17176 515 (The) Art of John Coltrane CD BN B 2 99175 423, 444, 482, 486, 541 (The) Art of John Coltrane - The Atlantic Years 2 LP Atl SD 2-313 564, 566, 572, 588, 593, 595, 598, 613 (The) Art of Milt Jackson-The Atlantic Years 2 LP Atl SD-2-319 548 (The) Art of Milt Jackson/Soul Brothers 2 CD Collectables 549 COL 6822 (The) Art of the Ballad/Thelonious Monk CD Prst PRCD-11012-2 461, 474, 477 Ascenseur Pour L’Echafaud - Miles Davis/ CD Jazz Beat JB 524 <see “issues/reissues”>: 524 Jazz Track - Frantic Ascension CD Imp 314 543 413-2 732 Ascension 7 Imp 7S-AS 95 731 Ascension (Ed.

  • Music Video As Black Art
    IN FOCUS: Modes of Black Liquidity: Music Video as Black Art The Unruly Archives of Black Music Videos by ALESSANDRA RAENGO and LAUREN MCLEOD CRAMER, editors idway through Kahlil Joseph’s short fi lm Music Is My Mis- tress (2017), the cellist and singer Kelsey Lu turns to Ishmael Butler, a rapper and member of the hip-hop duo Shabazz Palaces, to ask a question. The dialogue is inaudible, but an intertitle appears on screen: “HER: Who is your favorite fi lm- Mmaker?” “HIM: Miles Davis.” This moment of Black audiovisual appreciation anticipates a conversation between Black popular cul- ture scholars Uri McMillan and Mark Anthony Neal that inspires the subtitle for this In Focus dossier: “Music Video as Black Art.”1 McMillan and Neal interpret the complexity of contemporary Black music video production as a “return” to its status as “art”— and specifi cally as Black art—that self-consciously uses visual and sonic citations from various realms of Black expressive culture in- cluding the visual and performing arts, fashion, design, and, obvi- ously, the rich history of Black music and Black music production. McMillan and Neal implicitly refer to an earlier, more recogniz- able moment in Black music video history, the mid-1990s and early 2000s, when Hype Williams defi ned music video aesthetics as one of the single most important innovators of the form. Although it is rarely addressed in the literature on music videos, the glare of the prolifi c fi lmmaker’s infl uence extends beyond his signature lumi- nous visual style; Williams distinguished the Black music video as a creative laboratory for a new generation of artists such as Arthur Jafa, Kahlil Joseph, Bradford Young, and Jenn Nkiru.

  • Booker Little
    1 The TRUMPET of BOOKER LITTLE Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Feb. 11, 2020 2 Born: Memphis, April 2, 1938 Died: NYC. Oct. 5, 1961 Introduction: You may not believe this, but the vintage Oslo Jazz Circle, firmly founded on the swinging thirties, was very interested in the modern trends represented by Eric Dolphy and through him, was introduced to the magnificent trumpet playing by the young Booker Little. Even those sceptical in the beginning gave in and agreed that here was something very special. History: Born into a musical family and played clarinet for a few months before taking up the trumpet at the age of 12; he took part in jam sessions with Phineas Newborn while still in his teens. Graduated from Manassas High School. While attending the Chicago Conservatory (1956-58) he played with Johnny Griffin and Walter Perkins’s group MJT+3; he then played with Max Roach (June 1958 to February 1959), worked as a freelancer in New York with, among others, Mal Waldron, and from February 1960 worked again with Roach. With Eric Dolphy he took part in the recording of John Coltrane’s album “Africa Brass” (1961) and led a quintet at the Five Spot in New York in July 1961. Booker Little’s playing was characterized by an open, gentle tone, a breathy attack on individual notes, a nd a subtle vibrato. His soli had the brisk tempi, wide range, and clean lines of hard bop, but he also enlarged his musical vocabulary by making sophisticated use of dissonance, which, especially in his collaborations with Dolphy, brought his playing close to free jazz.

  • Victory and Sorrow: the Music & Life of Booker Little
    ii VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSIC & LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE by DYLAN LAGAMMA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History & Research written under the direction of Henry Martin and approved by _________________________ _________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2017 i ©2017 Dylan LaGamma ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION VICTORY AND SORROW: THE MUSICAL LIFE OF BOOKER LITTLE BY DYLAN LAGAMMA Dissertation Director: Henry Martin Booker Little, a masterful trumpeter and composer, passed away in 1961 at the age of twenty-three. Little's untimely death, and still yet extensive recording career,1 presents yet another example of early passing among innovative and influential trumpeters. Like Clifford Brown before him, Theodore “Fats” Navarro before him, Little's death left a gap the in jazz world as both a sophisticated technician and an inspiring composer. However, unlike his predecessors Little is hardly – if ever – mentioned in jazz texts and classrooms. His influence is all but non-existent except to those who have researched his work. More than likely he is the victim of too early a death: Brown passed away at twenty-five and Navarro, twenty-six. Bob Cranshaw, who is present on Little's first recording,2 remarks, “Nobody got a chance to really experience [him]...very few remember him because nobody got a chance to really hear him or see him.”3 Given this, and his later work with more avant-garde and dissonant harmonic/melodic structure as a writing partner with Eric Dolphy, it is no wonder that his remembered career has followed more the path of James P.

  • Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67
    Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

  • Neglected Jazz Figures of the 1950S and Early 1960S New World NW 275
    Introspection: Neglected Jazz Figures of the 1950s and early 1960s New World NW 275 In the contemporary world of platinum albums and music stations that have adopted limited programming (such as choosing from the Top Forty), even the most acclaimed jazz geniuses—the Armstrongs, Ellingtons, and Parkers—are neglected in terms of the amount of their music that gets heard. Acknowledgment by critics and historians works against neglect, of course, but is no guarantee that a musician will be heard either, just as a few records issued under someone’s name are not truly synonymous with attention. In this album we are concerned with musicians who have found it difficult—occasionally impossible—to record and publicly perform their own music. These six men, who by no means exhaust the legion of the neglected, are linked by the individuality and high quality of their conceptions, as well as by the tenaciousness of their struggle to maintain those conceptions in a world that at best has remained indifferent. Such perseverance in a hostile environment suggests the familiar melodramatic narrative of the suffering artist, and indeed these men have endured a disproportionate share of misfortunes and horrors. That four of the six are now dead indicates the severity of the struggle; the enduring strength of their music, however, is proof that none of these artists was ultimately defeated. Selecting the fifties and sixties as the focus for our investigation is hardly mandatory, for we might look back to earlier years and consider such players as Joe Smith (1902-1937), the supremely lyrical trumpeter who contributed so much to the music of Bessie Smith and Fletcher Henderson; or Dick Wilson (1911-1941), the promising tenor saxophonist featured with Andy Kirk’s Clouds of Joy; or Frankie Newton (1906-1954), whose unique muted-trumpet sound was overlooked during the swing era and whose leftist politics contributed to further neglect.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

    JAZZ WRITING? I am one of Mr. Turley's "few people" who follow The New Yorker and are jazz lovers, and I find in Whitney Bal- liett's writing some of the sharpest and best jazz criticism in the field. He has not been duped with "funk" in its pseudo-gospel hard-boppish world, or- with the banal playing and writing of some of the "cool school" Californians. He does believe, and rightly so, that a fine jazz performance erases the bound• aries of jazz "movements" or fads. He seems to be able to spot insincerity in any phalanx of jazz musicians. And he has yet to be blinded by the name of a "great"; his recent column on Bil- lie Holiday is the most clear-headed analysis I have seen, free of the fan- magazine hero-worship which seems to have been the order of the day in the trade. It is true that a great singer has passed away, but it does the late Miss Holiday's reputation no good not to ad• LETTERS mit that some of her later efforts were (dare I say it?) not up to her earlier work in quality. But I digress. In Mr. Balliett's case, his ability as a critic is added to his admitted "skill with words" (Turley). He is making a sincere effort to write rather than play jazz; to improvise with words,, rather than notes. A jazz fan, in order to "dig" a given solo, unwittingly knows a little about the equipment: the tune being improvised to, the chord struc• ture, the mechanics of the instrument, etc.
