After he left the Basie band, Benny Powell established himself in the studios of New York City and Los Angeles. Many of the sessions in this section of his discography are outside the jazz genre and reflect the pop, soul and R&B trends of the period. His first recording as a leader was made in 1979.

Johnson is the trombone soloist on track b. Although Johnson is indicated as being present on other tracks of the LP, he is not listed as being part of this orchestra. The same holds for alto saxophonist Lenny Hambro whom the notes indicate is the soloist on track c but is not listed as part of the orchestra on this session.

Community of St. Thomas the Apostle In Harlem Choir (v) on a-d, f-k.
This is a studio recording the date of which is not disclosed. The LP has no liner notes but comes with two brochures, one containing lead sheets with lyrics for all sections of the mass and another containing information on the mass, the church and personnel. The music has a copyright date of 1968 and the brochure talks about the programs involving Bonnemère running from December 1967 to June 1968. I am guessing that it's around this time the recording was made. The personnel is similar to Missa Laetare (Mass of Joy) (see session below, ca. 1971).

However, Henderson was still in Europe at the time finishing up a tour with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. Chris Genzel's Herbie Hancock Discography indicates that this recording took place over multiple sessions, beginning on October 4, then October 16, November 26 and finally December 8.
Which of these four dates these tracks were recorded is unknown.
The tenor saxophone soloist on track a is Joe Henderson, and Joe Farrell on track b.

From Gary Carner's Pepper Adams discography," Joy Road": "This VARAS TV documentary, directed by Nick van den Boezem, depicts expatriate Don Byas' only return to the U.S. since his departure in 1947. Byas is filmed performing with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra and at the Newport Jazz Festival with Dizzy Gillespie's rhythm section. It's unclear on which day these Thad Jones-Mel Lewis tracks were recorded." The unknown title is a ballad. Some of the personnel listed are "probable" rather than confirmed. A performance of "Intimacy of the Blues" by the quartet of Byas, Hanna, Wilbur Ware and Jo Jones takes place in between the two titles shown. The titles have not been auditioned.

This is a studio recording the date of which is not disclosed on the LP. Lord's discography gives 1971 without explanation. The recording date could be as early as 1968 (see "Mass For All Seasons" above - session "probably 1968" which has many of the same personnel). The liner notes indicate that the premier of this mass took place on March 17, 1969 at St. Peter's Church. It is described as Bonnemère's first contemporary mass in the Lutheran liturgical tradition. The Philadelphia Lutheran Seminary Choir under the direction of Robert Bornemann is heard on all tracks. The intrumental ensemble is heard on tracks b, d, f, h-i, k-l and n. The reader on track f is David C. Newhart. The reader on track g is Roy T. Lloyd.
Soloists on Track n: Preston (t), Lawrence (as), Powell, Gaylor, Bonnemère (or)

The personnel are uncertain due to ambiguities in the way the they are listed on the LP. It's probable that Childers, Aarons and Mitchell are replacements for personnel from the previous session rather than additions. Conga drums are clearly audible on the funk-style tracks a and c although no such percussion instrument is listed in the liner notes. The conguero is presumably Bob Norris who is incorrectly listed as present on the previous session. No source provides a recording date for this session. Ammons is the only soloist except for a Dickerson piano solo on track b.

This concert can be auditioned at Wolfgang's Vault. The timings shown include applause and announcements. This is essentially a reunion of Basie band members most of whom were not part of the band at this time, including Benny Powell. Joe Newman is the announcer and introduces all of the participants at the beginning of the concert. Basie is announced as playing on track b but it is not clear on what other tracks he performs on, if any. There are trombone solos on tracks a, c and j which may be by Benny Powell. It is assumed that he reprises his famous solo on track e.
