I've always liked this one - should have been used for the CD reissue !

The first one that came to mind...

Does anyone know why so few of the releases on this label are currently available on CD? Even the ones that are only seem to be available in Japan. I'm currently listening to a needle drop of the John Gordon album 'Step by Step' which is excellent but I can't buy it on CD because it has never been reissued (I think!)....strange...and sad!
I'm not sure about the provenance or even if my memory is a little clouded, but I feel pretty certain that I saw a CD copy of Step By Step in the LA Amoeba several years back. It could have been an import, if the artificially high used CD price was any indication.
It was out on German label Bellaphon a long time ago.

Yuck. You'd get doughnut-frosting all over your fingers.
Yes, the availability of a postprandial finger bowl for glazed digits would be my main concern as well
Perhaps you'd prefer something not eaten out-of-hand, or something for those times when you can't decide between a hamburger and a hot dog, when nothing but a dog's breakfast will do.
Behold your gastronomic salvation :

A little thread convergence, prompted by the fried dough thread...
Americans' love of excess, combined with anxiety about same, has resulted in the clichéd, euphemistic exhortation to, "take it to the next level". In the caloric arms-race going on in hamburgerville, one of these higher levels evidently is achieved by the substitution of glazed doughnut buns for the traditional sesame-seed buns normally used to frame the softball-sized-bacon-and-cheese-covered-meat-spheroid...

There's also the wonderful 1976 reunion with Mal Waldron 'Like Old Times' on Japanese Victor/JVC.
Interesting - I've never, ever seen that one !

UNDER THE JASMIN TREE (1968) & SPACE (1969) by the Modern Jazz Quartet (a 2-on-1 CD)
Two albums of high-class improvisational bebop recorded by Atlantic Records legends the MJQ while on secondment to Apple. With their unique line-up of piano, vibes, bass and drums, the Quartet brought old-style tuxedo excellence and cool organic jazz to the Apple catalogue.
"improvisational bebop" ? "old-style tuxedo excellence" ?

I finally got round to listening to this, and I dug all of it (well, maybe not Christiane Legrand's scatting). The thought that went into the programming is evident - Joe Chamber's Juba Dance being one of several unexpected choices that worked.
For those who missed the show, here it is again : Part One & Part Two

For CD purchases, I give preference to CDs by artists I have little or none of, while with vinyl purchases, I prioritize albums that have never been on CD, with those albums released on small labels occupying the very top of that list.

Buddy's hair looks the way my lawn did after drunken day-laborers tried to lay sod....

#1 is "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning"... not sure who's playing, though.
Monty Alexander from his Echoes Of Jilly's disc.
#6 The tune is familiar to me, but the title escapes me at the moment. Guitarist has a really nice broad, rich tone. Hmmm...I've heard this one before, but like you, can't place it. Szabo ?

Well, this one's fantastical in the sense that one of the guys hasn't played out in decades, and one has moved away from straight-ahead jazz, but how about : Frank Strozier with Eddy Louiss, Kenny Burrell and Jimmy Cobb ?

Always wondered who was the photographer who took the images that adorned the cover of the original Bethlehem LP.
Absent some reason to think otherwise, can't we assume that the cover photos/design are by Burt Goldblatt ?

Is this from some parallel universe where people say things like, "Nessa be the mother of invention" ?

I'm a little bit country. Does that count?
Well in that case you're not a little into jazz, you're a Lilliputian into jazz

Looks like the Swing Journal is an early victim of Japan's demographic hara-kiri.
As a gaijin, leafing through an issue was like returning to pre-literate childhood where image is all. And the images were fascinating. Pictures of impossibly rare album covers and labels; images of what I imagined to be executives of Sony or Toshiba sitting in their 30 m² flats next to their high-end stereo, with jazz records stacked floor to ceiling, a few ultra-obscurities proudly in hand; scores of tiny record stores (sometimes with charming engrish names) advertising records previously thought to have been chimerical. Only straitened circumstances kept me from contacting a JAL ticket agent.
I still have a couple of old copies somewhere. I bet some of the articles are worth reading, though I daren't subject them to the haiku-like renderings of Google's language tools.
