The
Reggie Workman
Discography



A Work in Progress
by Rick Lopez

Born August 20, 1997

Update December 11, 2001, and nevermore.
—Cleaned up and re-formatted just a bit because Reggie asked me for the link.
—RL / January 18, 2019.


If anyone would like to adopt this project, please contact me!
At present this is a very rudimentary discography made with help fom several research friends and others in 1997-98.
Many details are missing.


Also noted from confusing sources:

  • Esquire: Toward the Light
  • Alice Coltrane: Reflection on Creation & Space
  • Atlantic Jazz: Singers
  • Best of Art Blakey (1991)
  • Freddie Hubbard: Reevaluation: The Impulse Years
  • Freddie Hubbard: The Art of Freddie Hubbard
  • Feeling of Jazz: Best of Impulse (1988)
  • Art Blakey: History of Jazz (1992)
  • Art Blakey: Get the Message (1995)
  • George Gershwin: Blue Gershwin (1992)

{2} has track #4 as "Miles' Mode"
—Almost all the issues wrongly list the bassists. The above is correct (From David Wild), along with another track- "Impressions" that has Garrison alone
—Master #s for the November 1961 sessions were added later by Bob Thiele. His logbook also has track #6 as "Neptune"

61.12.01 • Eric Dolphy Quartet: Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise

December 1, 1961 / Munich, Germany
  • 3 Dolphy Groups
    Unique Jazz UJ-26
1. On Green Dolphin Street (Kaper / Washington) [23:26]
2. Softly as a Summer Sunrise (Hammerstein / Romberg) [14:41]
3. The Way You Look Tonight (Fields / Kern) [11:38]
4. Oleo (Sonny Rollins) [18:01]
—Track 4 on NI-4001 and UJ-26 only.
—JC107 has Lalo Schifrin as pianist, and B. Cunningham on bass.
—Raben lists Schifrin and Cunningham on Oleo.
—NI-4001 gives the date as December 2.

"Near the beginning of the sample from Eric's unusual solo on Oleo you can hear a tape splice. I presume these recordings were transcribed from a radio broadcast.
Fujioka says that Elvin left his passport in Hamburg on 25 November, and Lewis filled in for him with the Coltrane quintet in Copenhagen on the 26th. But that probably isn't related to Lewis playing on this date rather than Elvin. The quintet, with Elvin, played in Munich on 1 December."
