One of our readers poses a question on the previous post about the Blue Note sessions on which John Coltrane appears. He lists Blue Train, Johnny Griffin’s A Blowing Session, Whims of Chambers and Sonny’s Crib. That’s all I can think of as well. That’s not the quiz. The quiz is this: On how many Blue Note sessions does Cannonball Adderley appear?

Three may be.
Trick question? My answer, wrong? answer maybe on both,but here goes for what it is worth.The answer is one-All Stars with Miles Davis March 1958 BLP 1595.The Louis Smith date that he appears as Buckshot LaFunke was recorded by Tom Wilson for his Transition label in Feb 1958,this session was issued as Bluenote 1584.I think there was one track issued on a Transition samlpler.
Looking forward to someone with a little clarity on this one!
two
jazzcourier, you are right.
The trick in the question was to find Buckshot LaFunke, and not whether the Louis Smith date was recorded for Transition. You guys can get so complicated.
What about V A The other side of Blue note 1500 series
Not to mention Alison’s Uncle, right?
Can we all agree that Buckshot LaFunke is one of the best ever jazz pseudonyms?
..too few
@ Joe L: absolutely. A superb pseudonym. I think it’s for that reason that three decades later an acid jazz formation came up, called “Buckshot Lefonque”, but correct me if I’m wrong 😉
I don’t know the answer, but if you’re looking for more records to track, this guy has a bunch of interesting items: http://www.ebay.com/usr/go_sound68
Oh — and here’s some fun about psuedonyms… I had no idea that Dolphy played on Ole…
