The pianist Alton Purnell passed away January 14, 1987. Thirty years later, my ”Alton Purnell Discography” was published just in time for the anniversary. This project, which started in 2000, was initially intended to be a simple list of Alton’s recordings after he moved to California in 1956, but because he was perhaps best known as the pianist with Bunk Johnson and George Lewis, it was natural to expand the contents. The result was a book of 304 large size pages with c:a 1000 illustrations, mainly color pictures of album covers and labels including a lot of re-issues, a variety of reviews and articles, etc. The book can be ordered by e-mail jazzhistoria@gmail.com.
