I think I once wrote Charles Minus on Jazz Collector instead of Charles Mingus. That’s a pretty good one.

Way back in the Stone Age, some under-contract players gave fake names to be able to collect some scratch from session at a rival label. “Charlie Chan” & “Blind Boy Grunt” are two that come to mind. But, more likely, just a mistake involving a musician that no one that reviewed the copy had heard of. And I am sure a man-in-the-street survey of 100 random people would likely reveal Booker Ervin is still relatively, if not completely, unknown, despite the most excellent ‘The Song Book’, “The Space Book” etc.

Jazz Record Center has a new auction of 27 lp’s today with bids starting from $100-1500. The Duke Jordan BLP 4046 has the starting bid of $1500, with one bid on it already. Should be interesting to follow the results.

Crenshaw, Bob, appeared on the Sidewinder cover on repressings over 50 years until corrected to Cranshaw by Music Matters and then subsequently Blue Note.

There’s a typo on the liner notes for the original pressing of “night dreamer” by Wayne Shorter. When discussing the title track of the album it states that Herbie Hancock is the pianist; not McCoy Tyner!

Not sure if this was corrected on later pressings or CD reissues?

Erwin also appears on the Warwick Teddy Charles album from the Museum of Modern Art.

I am still struggling with Booker Ervin on Mingus Ah Um. Was convinced of his presence on this Columbia album. Or is it just the misspelling Erwin?

Aloha Al, question: were these typos, mistakes corrected in later issues, re-release or the original liner notes just continue to exist? On another note, I remember hearing from folks that listened to the Beatles about what they called the “Butcher” lp and how the record label tried to cover over the original front picture to reuse them. Sounds like those are worth a bit! Mahalo!
