This was Ida James accompanied by the Dick Vance Orchestra. The Tony Williams Lucky Thompson discography as well as the Lord and Bruyninckx discographies all incorrectly give the catalog number for this issue as 38267 which was actually a release by Happy Johnson and the Jive Five. See Online Discographical Project, Columbia 38000-38500 and Online Discographical Project, Columbia 39000-39500.

Although the Lord and Bruyninckx discographies as well as the liner notes to Official 6045 give June 5, 1951 as the recording date of this session, both the Tony Williams and Dieter Salemann Lucky Thompson discographies give the date as June 5, 1950.

The personnel is uncertain but assumed to be similar to that of the June 5, 1951 McLaurin/Wilcox session. The Lord and Bruyninckx discographies give a recording date of June 5, 1951 for this session while the Dieter Salemann and Tony Williams Lucky Thompson discographies indicate June 1950. The August 1951 date comes from the liner notes to Official 6045.
Discographies indicate that Lucky Thompson is present on other sessions with Bette McLaurin in 1951-1952 but I have not included them because of lack of information. Aural evidence suggests that Thompson is not the tenor saxophonist on "Lover Come Back To Me" (Derby D 790) and "Cry" (Derby D 791).

The Bruyninckx and King Label Discographies give the date of this session as October 31, 1951 while the Lord Discography indicates November 14, 1951. Tony Williams' Lucky Thompson discography also gives November 14, 1951 for tracks c and d (showing matrix numbers 1088, 1089) but "ca. 1951" for tracks a and b. Federal was a King subsidiary.

Savannah Churchill (v) on c-d.
Tracks c and d were issued under Savannah Churchill's name. An unidentified vocal group is present on these two tracks. Discographies indicate that a version of Georgia On My Mind was recorded at this session but that title was actually recorded on August 18, 1952 in Los Angeles with a different ensemble.

The Lord and King Label Discographies give December 14, 1952 as the date of this session while Bruyninckx indicates December 14, 1951. The Tony Williams Lucky Thompson discography gives November 14, 1951 for tracks c and d. The matrix numbers are possibly consistent with the 1952 date and Federal 12119 was issued in 1953. On the other hand, the personnel is identical to that from the above October or November 1951 Annisteen Allen session suggesting a more likely 1951 recording date. Valerie Carr's vocal on track c is described as a "vocal obbligato."

a, b, c, d performed as medley.
These four tracks constitute a suite, each section being a different variation on Manteca (which is called "Manteca Theme"). Lucky Thompson solos on track d. All discographies list a fifth title, "6/8", with a matrix number 1715-2 being issued on Norgran 1003 but inspection of that LP reveals no such track.

This is a rehearsal for a concert held the following day (November 19, 1955) at Town Hall in New York City. The concert itself, which featured the Modern Jazz Quartet as well as the Modern Jazz Society ensemble, was not recorded. The personnel and track information were generously provided by George Schuller and Michael Fitzgerald (the latter also responsible for the discovery that tracks k-m were really recorded on this date and NOT on March 14, 1955 as indicated in the liner notes to Verve CD 314 559 827-2). George Schuller reports that although this was a rehearsal, the tracks are complete performances with the exception of i which has a breakdown during Tony Scott's solo.
On the ballad medley, track b features Tony Scott, track c features Lucky Thompson and track d features J.J. Johnson. Milt Jackson only appears on tracks f-h.
