Tom Cat (Morton)

Autograph 617-B, Reissue Session 1, Reissue 1

 At this time the Marsh Recording Laboratories were located in Suite 707 of the Lyon & Healy Building at 78 East Jackson Boulevard in Chicago.

Reissue Session 1 was announced in Down Beat on December 1, 1943 and reviewed on January 15, 1944, p. 16. Reissue 1 followed in 1946. The session is covered in Tom Lord's Jazz Discography, Volume 16. According to George Avakian's review (see below), the extremely obscure original release on Autograph 617 was rediscovered around 1938. As Featheringill told Jake Trussell, Jr., in 1945, there may have been a 686 by King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton, but if so it was already lost by then, and the title remains unknown. Lord neglects to list Session 1, which appears to have been the first 78 rpm reissue of these sides. In the LP era, this material was reissued on Riverside; it has subsequently appeared on many labels in both LP and CD formats.
