CD ...Volume 1 is, effectively, an expanded re-issue of BLP 5028, Jay Jay Johnson, with Clifford Brown,... with 3 alternate take 'bonus tracks' added from the same 1953 recording session.
CD ...Volume 2 is, effectively, a "two-fer" re-issue of the two 10 inch LPs, BLP 5057 and BLP 5070 (The Eminent...Vol. 2 and ...Vol. 3), with three alternate take bonus tracks from the 1955 recording session.
Both CDs were also re-issued in 1997 and in 2001. The 2001 CD releases contain the same material as their CD predecessors, respectively, but in a different track order.

J. J. Johnson Discography

[edit]

In order to uniquely identify recordings and avoid overlap / redundancies (the same album being listed twice with slightly different titles / release dates), I suggest the recording number of each listed recording (e.g. "Savoy MG 12106") should always be referenced - either directly on the Wikipedia discography page or (at least) here on a listing in the talk page so that all editors can use (and update / correct / improve as needed) a common / consistent listing. This seems especially helpful in the case of pre ~1957 recordings when some companies sometimes re-used the same album title for different (sometime only partial) releases of the same or similar material - e.g. on (7 and 10 inch) "EP"s and 10 and 12 inch LPs of different maximum recording lengths.

Most useful / authoritative(?) references:

J. J. Johnson recordings as leader or co-leader
Unless otherwise noted, all albums are 10 inch (25cm) or 12 inch (30cm) LPs.
