Sessions

Session information (aka discography, aka sessionography) and commentary is the focus for this section, the core of this site. We explore Nat's recordings in three forms:

At A Glance

An informal Discography

Session By Session

At A Glance

If you want the essential discographical information like what he recorded, when he recorded it, the first release and perhaps a suggestion for a CD release, this is the section for you! At this time, the years with the most urgent need for such a resource, 1950-1954, are available courtesy of Jordan Taylor, Clark Kauffman and other Nat enthusiasts at Steve Hoffman forums who have generously co-operated in the goal of realizing this project.

An informal Discography

I am honored to be able to present an informal discography. Information which may be found in this section includes the dates, times, locations and products of sessions along with personel involved in creating the music, depending of course upon the information that remains available to us. Most information is available courtesy of Jordan Taylor. Additional credit is extended to other Nat enthusiasts at Steve Hoffman forums who have been supportive in the goal of realizing this project.
