According to the Cuscuna-Ruppli Blue Note Label Discography (2001), although this session was recorded in stereo, all issues of track c are in mono because the stereo master of that track has been lost.
Track a shares its harmonic structure with “Milestones” composed by John Lewis and Miles Davis. “Not Guilty” has an unusual 28-bar structure.

From the Mosaic MD7-169 J.J. Johnson booklet: “The piano intro was edited out of the issued FATBACK (short version) on CS8406. Almost four minutes was edited out of FATBACK (long version) on CS8770. Both versions are presented here in full.”
Also, in the same source, Loren Schoenberg comments: “The combination of Freddie Hubbard and Clifford Jordan inspired Johnson who felt that this band, in his own words, was ‘the best one I ever had.’”

The date and take information is that found in the Mosaic boxed set and Jeffery McMillan’s Lee Morgan biography, “Delightfulee.” The Jazz Discography (online version) shows October 13, 1960 as the recording date.
“Expoobident” is very close harmonically to the standard “Mean to Me.” “Fire” has an unusual 38-bar (10+10+8+10) structure.

“A Waltz for Fran” is the same line as “Slumber” recorded on December 3, 1964 for the Jackie McLean Blue Note session issued as Consequence and as “Soft Touch” on the Lee Morgan Blue Note session of July 14, 1967 issued as The Procrastinator; however, this session is the only one of the three where it is performed as a waltz. It is NOT equivalent to “Pisces” recorded on February 12, 1961 by Art Blakey and issued on the album Pisces.

A comment on the discogs.com website indicates that this session was probably recorded during Sonny Simmons’ first stay in New York City in 1963. Possibly more than one session was involved.
Most of the tracks on the Audio Fidelity albums are performed by just the Bossa Tres trio. These are “Bottles” by Machado, Neto and Parga, “Cute” by Neal Hefti incorrectly listed as “Cutie” composed by Sonny Rollins, “Daahoud” by Clifford Brown incorrectly listed as “Dahoud” with composer credits to Parga, Machado and Neto, “Minority” by Gigi Gryce incorrectly listed as “Minortory,” “Days of Wine and Roses” by Mancini and Mercer, “Yesterdays” by Kern and Harbach and “Moanin’” by Bobby Timmons.
Copyright records indicate that track d is, in fact, titled as shown and NOT “Epistle to Trane.”

Information on this soundtrack recording can be found here. Black Sun (Kuroi Taiyo) is a 1964 film directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara and starring Tamio Karachi and Chico Lourant. The music was composed by Toshiro Mayuzumi. The recording was mixed at Nikkatsu Studios on November 7, 1963 so it was probably done shortly before that (Engineer: Norio Numakura). These tracks occupy disc 1 of the 2-CD set. They can be auditioned here.
Track i is a piano solo. Track j is a duo of bass and cymbal.

General Comments Regarding the Charles Mingus Concerts Found Below
The Jazz Workshop sextet that Charles Mingus assembled in early 1964 was, to say the least, a very talented one. Between March and June of that year, the ensemble performed a number of concerts in the US and Europe (produced by George Wein), and many of them were recorded (albeit mostly without authorization). And there were problems. Mingus was frustrated with Eric Delphi’s decision to remain in Europe and trumpeter Johnny Coles collapsed during a performance in Paris on April 17th, requiring an extended hospital stay. The remainder of the concerts were performed as a quintet. Although Coles ultimately recovered, Dolphy died in Berlin on June 29, 1964 from diabetic complications. He was only 36.
While these concert recordings provide invaluable documentation of a significant period in the musical legacies of all the participants, they pose some discographical problems. The performances are often very long requiring division into two parts for issue on LPs. Also, timings for a single performance can vary substantially from issue to issue depending on the amount of applause and dialog included. Because of this, the timings that are shown were determined arbitrarily and are not very useful in identifying individual performances. Then there are the alternative titles for several of the pieces which appear without any consistency on the many issues of the concerts.
Mingus’s music is challenging with tempo changes, starts and stops and sections approaching free, interactive improvisation. Therefore, description of solos is difficult and sometimes we indicate when a solo begins by it’s point in time during the performance rather than duration by number of bars and choruses. In other cases, we simply list the solo order,
Dolphy played three instruments which adds another layer of complexity. Here is the instrumental breakdown by title:
“Fables of Faubus” - bass clarinet
“Orange Was the Color of Her Dress, Then Blue Silk” - bass clarinet
“Take the “A” Train” - bass clarinet
“Meditations” - flute, bass clarinet
“So Long Eric” - alto saxophone
“When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” - bass clarinet
“Peggy’s Blue Skylight” - alto saxophone
“Parkeriana” (“Ow!”) - alto saxophone
“I Can’t Get Started” - flute
Besides the concerts found in the discography, Mingus appeared in the following cities and recordings of the performances may exist:
April 11 - Hilversum, The Netherlands
April 20 - Marseilles, France
April 21 - Lyon, France
April 22 - Zurich, Switzerland
April 23 - Biel-Bienne, Switzerland
April 24 - Bologna, Italy
April 25 - Milan, Italy
April 27 - Frankfurt, Germany
April 29 - Hamburg, Germany

The date shown comes from a Left Bank Jazz Society of Washington, DC flyer. Morgan and Jordan also appeared at a concert on March 10, 1968, but that event involved a different pianist (Cedar Walton) and drummer (Billy Higgins).
According to Lee Morgan biographer Jeff McMillan, this appearance was organized by the Left Bank Jazz Society of Washington, DC and NOT the Left Bank Jazz Society of Baltimore, MD. Hyattsville, MD is 32 miles southwest of Baltimore and about 6 miles east of central Washington, DC.
Information shown is also based on Lee Morgan: A Discography by Claude Schlouch (self-published, 1999). This source indicates that tracks f and g were part of a second set.
Although introduced by Lee Morgan as “The Vamp,” track f is really Hank Mobley’s “Chain Reaction,” issued on the Straight No Filter album. It is very similar to John Coltrane’s “Impressions.” “The Vamp” was issued on Mobley’s Dippin’ album and is NOT the line performed at this live appearance. Morgan was present on the original Blue Note recordings of both “The Vamp” and “Chain Reaction.”
The timings shown for the issued tracks do not include announcements.

The date and personnel come from concert listings of the Left Bank Jazz Society.
The ensemble is called the "Chicago All Stars." An announcer indicates that compositions and arrangements are by Charles Davis. The titles are not announced.
Track b is a 12-bar blues. Track c is taken at a blazing tempo. Track e is in 3/4 and divided into 2 parts probably because of tape running out. The first (12:10) ends shortly after the piano solo. The second (11:31) is mostly conga and drums. A portion of the performance is probably missing. Given the length of the performances, they are probably taken from more than one set.
Percussion instruments including cowbell are heard on tracks a, d-f and probably played by bandmembers.
The timings shown include announcements and applause.

Information on this Workshop can be found here.
Presumably, the composers were arrangers of their songs as shown but this is not confirmed.
“Sweet Jelly Roll” is very reminiscent of “Mood Indigo” by Duke Ellington, Barney Bigard and Irving Mills.
“For Swingers Only” is very reminiscent of “For Dancers Only” by Sy Oliver, Don Raye and Vic Schoen.
“Good Time Charlie” seems to be a tribute to the great guitarist Charlie Christian and very reminiscent of “Air Mail Special” by Benny Goodman, Jimmy Mundy and Charlie Christian.
Tracks a and r include the announcer identifying the musicians.

This is a rather unusual recording. Gary Giddins’s liner notes state, “Bebop was NOT the order of the night.” Most of the improvisations on this album are free and often collective without much of a relationship to the stated themes. Therefore, it’s very difficult to describe the solos. Nonetheless, the activities build to several emotional climaxes, much to the delight of the audience.
“Now’s the Time” includes someone chanting at around 16:28 along with some other rather mysterious sounds.

Glass Bead Games is arguably Clifford Jordan’s finest achievement. Recorded with two quartets on the same day (see following session), all twelve compositions were contributed by the participants and reflect the post-bop tendencies of the 1970s. Themes and improvisations are often interwoven, especially during Jordan’s adventurous solos. Although now (2022) nearly 50 years old, this album remains an excellent example of how jazz can evolve without abandoning its essential qualities.

This unusual album was originally recorded for the Strata-East record label founded by trumpeter Charles Tolliver and pianist Stanley Cowell, but never made it into the catalogue. It went unissued for nearly 50 years until finally released in 2022 through the efforts of Sandra Williams Jordan, Clifford’s widow. It features Clifford with a vocal group led by Donna Jordan Harris, Clifford’s daughter, and on 2 tracks, an actor, David Smyrl, reciting stories over the music. Smyrl’s recitations might now be considered rapping.
Track b is called "Witch Doctor’s Chant."

Survival Records LP 12"unknown — Clifford Jordan & The Chicago All-Stars (1978)
|
This session is highly speculative. It is listed in a Clifford Jordan Discography but verification of the existence of the LP is needed. It may never have been issued. It is known that Jordan performed at Ali’s Alley on the dates shown. This club was run by drummer Rashied Ali who also started Survival Records. Five tape reels were recorded over several sets and probably contain the titles listed. Other titles possibly recorded were “Lush Life,” “Blue ’N’ Boogie” and “‘Round Midnight.” (Many thanks to Ben Young for this information.)
The composer of track c is unknown.
Not auditioned.

This session poses some discographical problems. The LP, which was issued in 1981, indicates 2 recording dates, December 1980 and December 1981. It seems unlikely that tracks recorded in December 1981 would have been issued in 1981.
There are 4 other tracks found on this album which are not included here because they involve only Simmons’ trio and not the horns. These are: “I’m the Blues, Part 1 (with no vocal), 7:30; “Juicy Lucy,” 5:43; “I Ain’t Got Nothin’ But the Blues,” 4:27 and “Why Try to Change Me Now,” 3:55. Al Harewood is listed as the drummer on these which are assumed to have been recorded at another session. Unfortunately, the drummer on tracks b and c is not specified. We are making the assumption that it is Fournier.

He also indicates that a medley of “Epistrophy” and “Ruby, My Dear,” performed by the rhythm section, was preserved on VHS Kay Jazz (Eng.) KJ 048.

George Victory (snt) on f, i.
Trumpeter Roy Burrowes (1930-1998) was born in Jamaica. This project began in 1987 but was still incomplete by the time Clifford Jordan died in 1993. In order to complete the album, saxophonist Charles Davis was brought in and 3 more titles were recorded between 1993 and 1998: “Mr. Loving Spoon” by Roy Burrowes, “Mount Zion Rock” by Roy Burrowes and Clement Dodd and “Don’t Wait Too Long” by Roy Burrowes. These are included on the issues.
The sessions were apparently recorded by the Jamaican rhythm sections in Kingston and Jordan and Burrowes in Brooklyn, but specific dates are not disclosed. Overdubbing was utilized. The personnel listed are most likely collective.
Jordan and Burrowes solo on all tracks.
