Rob, They were left out of Dixon and Godrich, so you need not look there. I will not share with you my feelings about such omission. David N. "Uncle Dave" Lewis Assistant Editor, Classical Macrovision Solutions Corporation -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rob DeLand Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 5:32 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARSCLIST] Fisk Jubilee Singers discography? Dear collective wisdom,Hello - I'm a lurker who has planned to introduce himself for a long time, but I haven't gotten to it yet.I joined ARSC in 2007 and I'm the librarian at VanderCook College of Music in Chicago.I've also reissued piano rolls of ragtime, blues and reproducing piano rolls for the past 20 years.I'm trying to locate a discography of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, particularly their earliest works. I have skimmed over ch. 14 of Lost Sounds and I need to re-read it more carefully.The 2nd footnote says that "Dark Midnight When I Rise: The Story of the Fisk Jubilee Singers" by Andrew Ward is a recommended bio; are there any better choices?It also indicates that Dixon & Godrich is the best discography available; I'll look this up when I get home. I don't suppose anything more is available yet?Finally, are the Document CD's the best place to go for these early recordings? A private reply would be fine - thank you!Rob DeLand
