Jackie Paris


 

Discography

As more information becomes available, we will update this page to keep the discography as accurate and complete as possible.

At the moment, the only recordings available in the US are the two recordings on the Audiophile label: Jackie Paris and Nobody Else but Me, and Jackie's last recording The Intimate Jackie Paris on the Hudson label. All of the other recordings of Jackie as a leader are out of print, or in the case of the CDs on the Emarcy label, are only available in Japan. There are, however, a number of CDs available at present that contain one or more tracks of Jackie singing as a "guest" artist or as part of a compilation.

If you have any comments or additions to add to the discography, send them to discography@jackieparis.com

Thanks to J. D. Ehrhard for allowing us to use the discography he compiled...
