These are Boris Rose dubs. Information on this session comes from authoritative research done by historian James Accardi and differs from that shown in discographies and liner notes. The LP Alto AL 708 provides no information at all. The personnel shown are from the Decca recording session 3 days earlier. It seems reasonable that band would also be largely present here, but this is not confirmed. It’s possible that Eddie Shu was in the saxophone section since he joined Hampton in May of 1949. The host of the show is very probably Fred Robbins.
Accardi’s research turned up the following: Courier Post (Camden, NJ), Friday, May 13, 1949 (page 21): “LIONEL HAMPTON, virtuoso of vibraphones, drums and piano, will defy the superstition of Friday the 13th when he plays a medley of “The House Is Haunted”, “Skeleton In the Closet” and “Gloomy Sunday” on WCAU-TVs “Adventures in Jazz” tonight from 8:00 to 8:30.” This medley, if actually performed, was apparently not recorded by Rose.
The back of Jazz-Club LP 121 (a limited edition) wrongly indicates that tracks a, and g were recorded in New York City in Autumn 1949. It also claims that track b was recorded in Hollywood on November 17, 1944 - highly unlikely! Track g was split into parts I and II for issue on Jazz Society AA 561.
Track b sounds harmonically very much like the standard “How High the Moon.” Similarly, track d appears to be improvisations on the chords of “I Know that You Know.”

Information on this short Universal International film, comes from jazz on film expert Mark Cantor. The director is Will Cowan. The soundtrack was recorded on August 30 and the sideline photography done on September 30, 1949. Not all the musicians on the soundtrack are seen on screen.
The personnel information found here is incorrect.
Track a is called “Air Mail Special” but only shares the chord structure with that standard.
Performance Summary:
Track a - trumpet solos by 4 of the 5 trumpeters; trombone solos by all 4 trombonists; alto sax solos by both of the alto saxophonists; guitar solo by Wes Montgomery; vibraphone solo by Hampton; honking tenor saxophone solo; more vibraphone.
Track b - Curley Hamner sings and tap dances over tenor saxophone solo followed by drum solos by Hamner and Hampton, both standing up.
Track c - MC Joe Adams starts routine; Sonny Parker vocal with Hampton obbligato; Betty Carter scat vocal; Hampton vibraphone; Sonny Parker vocal.
Track d - Kitty Murray dances alone and with Hampton.
Track e - Lionel Hampton vibraphone; saxophone battle among both tenors and one of the altos; Little Lawrence & Lillian Williams child dancers do the Lindy Hop.

This session was produced by Quincy Jones.
Many thanks to Vincent Pelote for alerting me to the fact that the “Love for Sale” issued on the 2014-15 Resonance albums is the alternate take and NOT the master originally released on Columbia FC 38509 in 1983. The two takes have identical routines but the solos are clearly different and the master is taken at a somewhat faster tempo.
Track d is listed as “Undecided,” composed by Charlie Shavers and Sid Robin, but what is heard is not that standard. What the ensemble plays is an original composition with the harmonic structure of “Broadway” (comp. Bill Bird, Henri Woode, Teddy McRae). The BMI Repertoire website shows a registration for a song titled “Undecided” composed by “John L. Montgomery.”

More information is needed. The personnel is likely based on aural evidence but unconfirmed. It is not certain that both tracks were recorded at the same gig.
Track a has no improvised solos. “Graduation Day” was a hit for The Four Freshmen in 1956.

BACK ON INDIANA AVENUE
A 2019 two disc album issued by Resonance Records, Wes Montgomery: Back On Indiana Avenue - The Carroll DeCamp Recordings, HCD 2036 (HLP 9036), provides a treasure trove of previously unheard Wes Montgomery recordings. Unfortunately, specific discographical data for nearly all of the tracks on this issue were unavailable, including recording dates, venues and personnel. The information provided suggests the recordings were made in Indianapolis, Indiana from the mid to late 1950s (in my opinion, most likely between 1957 and 1959) and that personnel present could possibly be among the following:
trombone - David Baker
tenor saxophone - David Young
piano - Earl Van Riper, Buddy Montgomery, John Bunch, Carl Perkins, Melvin Rhyne
organ - Melvin Rhyne
bass - Monk Montgomery, Mingo Jones, Larry Ridley (not mentioned in the liner notes but indicated in an April 18, 2019 email from pianist, author and historian Lewis Porter).
drums - Paul Parker, Sonny Johnson
The recordings were made by Carroll DeCamp, an Indianapolis-based poet and pianist.
Several of the recordings could have been made in Wes Montgomery’s home.
The notes state “the information provided here should be regarded only as educated guesses.”
To complicate matters, the sound characteristics vary considerably among the tracks with identical instrumentation (trios, quartets) making it very difficult to group them into sessions. Therefore, most of the sessions following (18) derived from this album contain only one track. I apologize for the inconvenience, but the paucity of data associated with this invaluable Wes Montgomery material left me no choice but to present it in this way.
There are some clues as to when certain of the personnel participated or the time frame of some of the tracks. For example, pianist Carl Perkins died on March 17, 1958 so his presence would obviously have to have been prior to that. Also, Miles Davis’s “So What” was not recorded until March 2, 1959 so the version of that iconic title on this album was very likely from later in 1959.

Track a is listed as “Music in the Air.” It is Gigi Gryce’s composition “Wildwood” with lyrics added by Hendricks.
Most sources do not indicate that Pony Poindexter is present on this session. On October 25, 2020, I received, via email, the following information from Michael Weil which comes from his Pony Poindexter discography:
The Adderley Brothers were not credited on the World Pacific and Vogue LP issues because they were under contract with Riverside Records at the time. Jon Hendricks mentions the musicians participating in his liner notes and talks about the Adderleys as "Blockbuster and his brother on alto sax and cornet.”
in his memoir (Norwood Pony Poindexter, The Pony Express - Memoirs of a Jazz Musician. Frankfurt, Germany: JAS Publikationen, 1985), Poindexter says “Out of the Past” was a feature for him, and notes that he had collaborated with Hendricks on the preparation of the session. The addition of the Adderley brothers was producer Richard Bock's idea. Aural evidence clearly confirms the above personnel and solo information. The styles of Cannonball Adderley and Pony Poindexter are easily distinguished.
The cover photo of the original album and many reissues shows the session musicians including the Adderley Brothers, Wes Montgomery and Poindexter. There are passages in the arrangements where two alto saxophones are audible.
I am in agreement with Weil’s conclusions and thank him for generously providing this information. The perhaps surprising roles of the Adderley brothers on this session are purely to embellish theme presentations and provide some additional instrumental backing. The improvised solos are left to Poindexter, Wes Montgomery, Mahones and Hendricks.

The sound on tracks e and f is different than that on tracks a-d yet all six tracks were, apparently, recorded on the same night. Track d is the end of a set. Track e is called "Starlight" on some issues.
Track d is mislabeled as "Bock to Bock."
Liner notes indicate that Bunn is present on tracks e and f but no conga is audible on those tracks.
Timings shown include announcements and applause.
