Farewell (Toshiko Akiyoshi – Lew Tabackin Big Band album)

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The link was provided does not say that this album is the work of Toshiko Akiyoshi – Lew Tabackin Big Band. It mentions only Toshiko Akiyoshi's name and the title is: Farewell to Mingus And the personnel list does not show all of these participating musicians, only Toshiko Akiyoshi Piano, Buddy Childers Trumpet and Lew Tabackin Flute, Sax (Tenor.)

La Times link is dead.
At discogs though it says Toshiko Akiyoshi – Lew Tabackin Big Band but no musicians list either. The title is Farewell Farewell

This article has to be rewritten with correct credits or be deleted and has to be created with a new title. Because it is rather confusing.:-) What do you think? Fusion is the future (talk) 10:07, 4 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Some feedback / comments to the above:
- The allmusic reference [1] lists this album title correctly as Farewell (not Farewell to Mingus).
- The album is attributed to the Toshiko Akiyoshi – Lew Tabackin Big Band. Allmusic.com lists all of this group's albums under "Toshiko Akiyoshi" but the text of the (Scott Yanow) allmusic review makes it clear that this is a Toshiko Akiyoshi – Lew Tabackin Big Band album.
- The basic album information, album title; artist name; track listing; track times; personnel list; producer; duration; etc. is taken from the album itself, (the first reference in the article, Victor RVC RVJ-6078). None of this information is controversial nor expected to be challenged.
- The article title is in the format of "TITLE (ARTIST NAME album)" which is the correct wikipedia disambiguated format for an album title that is common to more than one album. See Wikiproject:Albums (Wikipedia:Album#Style):
  - "...For multiple albums with the same title, use the artist name to distinguish the different albums, e.g. Down to Earth (Rainbow album) and Down to Earth (Ozzy Osbourne album)..."
- The LA Times link is, indeed, dead and I have replaced it today with two other nominee list references for the 23rd Grammy Awards (1980 music year). Although here again, I do not believe this information is particularly controversial nor likely to be challenged.
