Okay, Manor, was Bruyninckx hergibt – vielleicht lässt sich daraus mit weiteren Billboard-Abgleichen ja eine Chronologie erstellen. Sorry für die bescheidene Darstellung, aber mehr ist hier ja nicht möglich. Irgendwelche für uns irrelevanten „Notes“ lasse ich weg, wird etwas übersichtlicher, da und dort Ergänzungen in eckiger Klammer (z.B.: bei der Catlett-Session steht bei Bruyninckx kein Bandname/Leader). Hoffe, ich hab das mit der Formatierung einigermassen hingekriegt … das jetzt in eine Chronologie umzusortieren dürfte recht schwer sein – aber interessant, was es da alles gibt (viel „sacred singing“ und sogar „sermons“, aber eben auch mal Erroll Garner, Charlie Parker oder Aaron Sachs …)

B1405 Walk together with my Jesus –
Note : Manor 8008 & 8009 were issued in a 2 LP album set (Manor 104) entitled „Spirituals of the old South“. (*) These 2 titles on Document (Au)DOCD5500 entitled „Selah Jubilee Singers-Complete recorded works in chronological order (1941-1944-45)“. Some confusion exist about the actual date of the Manor session. The records were issued November 1946 and the matrices also suggest a later recording date, but the group personnel definitely includes Norman Harris and J.B. Nelson. Ruth states that Harris who is also present on the previous Decca session, only stayed with the group for about 6 months and J.B. Nelson left the group in 1945.
