Love me those “Miles Davis Interpretations” books. Tunes and titles perhaps based on real Miles Davis played compositions. “Miles Away” perhaps based on “Miles Ahead?”. Such ‘confusion’ perhaps similar to those Boris Rose air check lps, wherein he created fictitious titles ala “Things I’m Partial To”(My Favorite Things) in order perhaps to avoid paying royalties.
And of course hipster shades.
Have me a book of “Charlie Parker Interpretations” published by Chas. Colins. Nary a known Bird composition in the book. Perhaps such was a modus operandi for them.
Regardless, I, being a sucker for such, would be interested in them.

There are first pressings, and then there’s everything else. The record must pressed in the same country as it was recorded, regardless of sound quality. Just my humble opinion, of course.

Maarten, excuse me for my correction: it was the (Lionel) Hampton band.

for those who like the brown/gryce in paris music.. vogue issued a 3lp in 1976 ‘The Complete Paris collection’, that has
ALL the recordings Brown an Gryce made between sept 28 and okt 15, 1953. They where touring with the Hamilton band in Paris, and ‘escaped’ to make these ‘illegal’ recordings (Hamilton not amused). The music is perfect, from big band till quartet sessions, perfect Brownie.

The Clifford Brown/ Gigi Gryce album shown is a UK Vogue pressing of the French original. The cover identical to the French one.
Blue Note issued this one under BLP 5048. Cover art here by Gil Mellé.
