Yeah man...I like Thompson, but never had any of his stuff where he was the leader...always as a side man. I really like his work on Miles album "Walkin" which I do have in my collection. I think I have some other stuff with Lucky as a side man as well. If you do get a copy of Baileys album (s) make sure its labeled stereo...I think all 6 of his albums was both mono and stereo. Most of his stuff is as a side man also as Lucky Thompson.

Thanks frenchy. I called both of the larger record shops and they are flush with titles. Mostly CD but that's fine with me. I'll let you know what I come up with.

Right now I am dissecting the styles of Curtis Amy and Nathan Davis. I was led to both of these guys from my pursuit of two musicians, Carmell Jones and Woody Shaw. My collections of both now include all of their leader dates, so I am onto side appearances.

Once again I am totally baffled at how such genius goes under the radar. Even alot of jazz fans can't recall either of these superb players. It's a shame that the dust bins of jazz history have swallowed up so much amazing and important music, along with all of the forgettable stuff.

Hey man..the populous dont have a clue to how important this art form is to America or who laid the historical tracts to what we have now in music. Some are to afraid to branch out into history...its all about the now. Jazz musicians are many over the years... and many had brief careers for various reasons. At one time in her history it was the in thing. But one only knows this if they go back and look at Americas jazz history, or if you lived during that time. Jazz and Blues laid the path for other types of music. And Blues sprang first and then Jazz. They both sprang from the spiritual music laid down by the slaves who got the rhythms from the cities of Africa.

Us today who go back can really appreciate the art form of the pioneers...it was their way of life back then. I love some of the earliest recorded acoustic blues we have as much as Jazz.

I alone with you Pops, respect those jazz musicians today who love the music enough and appreciate it enough to continue to play this art form and keep it alive, while not getting rich like some of those in Rock or Pop or Rap music.

How many people today know and understand what Jazz meant to the great depression of the 30's? People had no money, hardly any food, soup lines all over the place, but they scraped their pennies and saved them until the weekend to go to the clubs to buy a beer and dance to the swing music of the big bands. This was very important to people back then who had nothing....it was their way of escape from all their sorrow, from all their pain and suffering during this time. It was the only fun they really had. I'm talking not only black folk but white folk as well. The great depression hurt them all.

I've never heard of Curtis Amy or Nathan Davis. what are they like? I'm sure they are great.
