[78-L] Herbie Fields

[Han Enderman]

It is not in Jazz Directory v.3 (1951), but listed by Jepsen.
The same JzDir lists several Gillespies in the 20-3000 series, recd 1947-48,
and this suggests the Fields was unissued/withdrawn.
Maybe they didn't want a boogie version of the (which?) Nocturne?

The coupling is listed in the "Abrams files" (and, by extension, Ty's Online 78 RPM Discography site), with nothing noted about being unissued or even withdrawn. Not impossible though. Something's familiar about those titles, but I'll have to check.

Or I could be confusing with Fields' "Moon Nocturne" (20-2054-A)...

The "Honking Duck" Fields discography lists it, but that page appears to be derived from Ty's site.

The jury's still out.

Take care,
