Comments on: Finding a Rare Lee Konitz, Right On My Own Shelf https://jazzcollector.com/features/finding-a-rare-lee-konitz-right-on-my-own-shelf/ For those who love jazz Sat, 18 Apr 2020 18:12:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Alex Rigas https://jazzcollector.com/features/finding-a-rare-lee-konitz-right-on-my-own-shelf/comment-page-1/#comment-452946 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 18:12:30 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=2855#comment-452946 Very intriguing. It is also listed as such at jazzdisco. Miles does not play.

However, I see at discogs that Miles Davis’ name is shown on this Prestige 755 label. Perhaps, by mistake Prestige wrongly used this take of Yesterdays, instead of the one with Miles as issued on the 10 inch record?

But I imagine the Konitz trio version of Yesterdays was not on that LP?
