Junion 107 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I have added another collaboration album, "Dreamsville", to the Wiki discography as well as the EP. Lola Albright was a model, an actress and singer who became 92 years old. She played Edi Hart, the girlfriend of Peter Gunn on the series of the same name. She was singing on that series which is why "Dreamsville" was recorded during that time in February 1959 and released in August 1959 by Columbia Records. This album was arranged by Henry Mancini and featured his orchestra. Here is the wonderful song "Dreamsville" featuring John Williams on piano.

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The LP was released on CD twice. I own the Fresh Sound Records release titled "Lola Albright – The Jazz Singer On The ‘Peter Gunn’ TV Series", that also includes the album "Lola Wants You" and some bonus tracks from TV recordings.

Yes, my purpose was to distinguish between Studio albums, Live albums and Soundtrack albums as the Wikipedia template contains these options. There are a lot of fans who are aware about his film scores and can easily navigate to the Soundtracks now. On the other hand, the "Somewhere in my Memory" discography lists all albums from the 1950s until 2022 on one page in a chronological order. Both ways are fine to me.

Popular Post Bespin 8,483 Posted February 5, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2023 @Jay asked if some Singles listed on the disco are worth to mention because of their unique content (as they were never fully reissued otherwise). Very few (I'll skip all the weird radio edits, various pop collabs and remixes of course). "Montreal" is still unreleased on CD: This Yo-Yo Ma single was partly reissued on some compilations, but never entirely yet (I think): EDIT: The Oboe Concerto is still only available as a digital EP.

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Williams also arranged and conducted 6 songs for Vic Damone for release on single, and not included on their album together. Of those, 4 songs were released back in 1961 in two singles. The two other ended up being released as part of Damone compilations. I know, not as interesting as if it included Williams own compositions... I'll check the details tomorrow in case you don't have those listed on your page.

Actually, there are even 7 songs for release on single John Williams did in collaboration with Vic Damone! As you said, 4 songs were released as two singles which are: - Adrift On A Star - The Pleasure Of A Company - Theme from "By Love Possessed" - If It`s The Last Thing I Can Do Another two songs, recorded in 1961, were released as part of the compilation "On The Street Where You Live: Vic Damone`s Best": - The Second Time Around - Maria The 7th song, "Come Live With Me", was released as single in 1968 and is an arrangement of the title of the same name that appeared on OST "Valley of the Dolls". All these songs are listed on JW`s discography. And there is another song both artists recorded in 1967 called "I`ll Plant My Own Tree", very likely an arrangement of "I`ll Plant My Own Tree" that was released on "Valley of the Dolls". This one is still unissued. Hopefully, there will be a release of this song one day. Jay and Bespin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junion 107 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Yeah. Interesting to know is that Damone‘s album version of „Make me Rainbows“ was arranged and conducted by Perry Botkin Jr., the former trombone player in John Williams‘ jazz band during their time at North Hollywood High School.

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I've contacted them in the past and had no luck getting a copy of their Bernstein album. I eventually got a copy over at discogs. They would only send (for free) to libraries or schools, even foreign ones, but not to individual collectors.
