Mosaic says "probably Leora Henderson - trumpet"

How am I doin' - Composed by Don Redman. Also recorded by The Mills Brothers with either Branch or Fowler as co-composer. Couldn't get any further information.

A test pressing of B11445-B exists but it plays the same as the master take (-A)

Matrices B11446 and B11447 were to be released as Melotone M12368. However, this 78 was never issued.

According to the ARC ledgers the original or alternate title of Blue Moments was Nostalgia.

For matrix B11447, there is a bogus matrix number (11744 is shown on the wax and label). On all releases, however, it is only a dub of the master take (-A). Numerals appearing after this fake matrix are stamper numbers and not different take numbers.

Alternate takes of Blue Moments and How am I doin' were not available for the Mosaic package.

Although Blue Moments is listed as -A in the liner notes of Columbia C4L 19, this version is actually an edited, sped up version of -B and not an alternate take.

Jazz Masters says this is 16/10/57 - the same date as the Hawkins/Webster date with the same quartet. However John Chilton says " a few days after Oct 19".
The matrix numbers for both sessions are sequential with the Hawkins only session preceding the Hawkins/Webster.
Allmusic covering "The Genius of Coleman Hawkins" says recorded Oct 57 and released 16th Oct 57 which looks odd. This record also has many versions of tracks which do not appear on the "Jazz Discography" entry forthis session under Oscar Petersons name. I have narked these as the same matrix number bit with a "?" for version.

The music included on this CD reissue has always been a bit mysterious. Recorded sometime in 1960, it was originally released on a pair of cheap-looking LPs by the Crown label. The composers of the songs have never been listed, although it is probable that some were written by tenor-saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, pianist Eddie Costa and trumpeter Thad Jones (who probably was responsible for the bulk of the tunes).
