Russell Connor and Chris Sheridan, have covered these years in astonishing detail. Two of the planet’s premiere discographers, D. We decided to go ahead with this project, with hopes of accumulating as much knowledge as possible.įortunately, both Benny Goodman and Count Basie recognized Wardell’s genius, and he played a major role in the bands of both between 19. Eventually I got tired of waiting, and contacted Professor Stuart Varden, whose outstanding website devoted to Fats Navarro guided me through building my own “Fat Girl” collection. So much of the information I found was contradictory and confusing – and I kept waiting for a discography to show up on line. I began compiling this discography strictly for my personal use– a checklist, basically, to help me make sense of what was out there and collect as much of it as I could. Unfortunately, much of his recorded legacy remains unissued or out of print – which is particularly astonishing considering the quality of this body of work.
Wardell Gray played with nearly every major figure in jazz history, and his discography is a wonder to digest.
