Verve reissued a handful of these records in 1983. Pretty sure they never made the cd transistion. My copy is one of those ARS series that were sent to schools and libraries.
I have been on a bit of a Lester Young kick lately and digging through the lps I found this neglected little gem. Not a major record in anyone's discography but still a cool way to spend a hot summer evening. Hell, Prez doesn't even make the cover!!
Side one is a typical JATP jam session. Side two features the inevitable Oscar Peterson group and a odd outing by Gene Krupa. As much as Peterson leaves me cold, this version of Budo is entertaing.
Dizzy is smokin' as always.

I don't want to sound ungrateful or anything. When you unpack the file you get: 1 - Jam Blues nmr 1 from 1952, 2 - Funky Blues Pt 1 from 1954, 3 - Funky Blues pt 2 from 1954, 4 - Mail Order Blues from 1955. Id it supposed to be like that or is there a mix-up?
The audio files don't match with your playlist.
01 Jam Blues #1
02 Funky Blues #2
03 Funky Blues #3
04 Mail Order Blues
According with the Ruppli Clef/Verve discography, ARS G416 has:
The Blues
The Modern Set

The Ballad Medley
Buddy Rich's explosion
Drum Boogie
Excellent share, thanks
Great post. Thank you very much, but the title list doesn't match with the download.
Thank you Hook! I love JATP stuff and this one is new to me.
Hey guys, I see what happened. I apparently had a apir of records on the disc when I uploaded the file. The other was entitled Jam Session. Give me a few days and I will either amend the post to include the songs as a bonus or I will pull it and put it up right. Not really all that good with this computer stuff and hell, it's just for fun and the joy of sharing. Thanks for pointing it it out and thanks for commenting.
Alright cats, here's the corrected link. Thanks for your patience. I don't know about Luis' track listing from the discography but it has a different matrix #, and mine is taken from the label.
I know side two starts out a mess, but I have a friend who clean it up shortly and I will replace the link once again.
That's the way it goes around Chez Hook.

Thnx hook - Ill d/load this while waiting for the replacement
Thank you Hook! I appreciate your efforts with this blog and for your work to get this particular post correct. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you very much for this one. Pres also played "I Didn't Know What Time it Was" at this concert. It was evidently released on another Verve LP that also never saw a digital release.
Great stuff, I especially enjoy your personal comments going down memory lane. I'm prone to doing a bit of that myself these days.
Age 13, in eighth grade, I was at that concert. Our home room teacher, a jazz fan, took me and my best friend. First time I'd ever seen any of the giants.
