~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following are a couple of LP´s that need to be included in his discography which always are missed.
CALLIOPE 3029
This has one side with The Rampart Street Jazz Band (sic) (which of course is The Rampart Street Paraders) live from a TV-show and Abe does his "Hindustan" in a different way.
BACCAROLA International 78287ZT (German Issue)
This is a 12"LP and has Abe Lincoln in very good form all over with Wild Bill Davison as the formal leader. Personnel includes Joe Rushton, Matty Matlock etc. One of these items was issued by mistake(?) on OMEGA OSL-63 as "Blue Blues" and is not mentioned on the cover. OSL-63 is called "Dixieland ALa Carte" with a Buck Clayton group on most of the tracks. There are too few recordings with this marvelous trombonist so I felt to tell you about some items worth looking for.
