Now spinning: OJC reissue

Terrific.

Geri Allen - Open on All Sides in the Middle (Minor Music, 1987) with Shahita Nurallah (vo), Steve Coleman (as), Robin Eubanks (tb), Jaribu Shahid (b), Tani Tabbal (d), and others

Rachmaninov: The Complete Piano Concertos / Tamás Vásáry, Yuri Ahronovitch, London SO (DG) Disc 2 - PCs Nos. 3 & 4

Robert Penn Warren has been one of my favorite authors ever since I read All the King's Men in college.

Now: Joey Calderazzo - Going Home (Sunnyside, 2015) with Orlando le Fleming and Adam Cruz Earlier: Jaki Byard - Solo / Strings (Prestige) CD compiles two Prestige LPs: Jaki Byard with Strings! (1968) and Solo (1969) I think that description is right on the money.

NP: Jimmy Smith - Bluesmith (Verve, 1972) features some superb tenor work by Teddy Edwards Smith's Root Down (also issued in '72) may have been more contemporary -- and it definitely made a bigger splash -- but I like Bluesmith better.

Now: Prompted by @BillF, who posted this album earlier today.

Now listening to Roussel's Bacchus et Ariane (Ballet Suite No. 2) performed by Munch & the BSO -- as heard on this set: I'm not sure about the paint-splatter cover design -- but the music sure is good.

The Best Of The Nat King Cole Trio: The Vocal Classics (1942-46) (Capitol Jazz)

Saint-Saëns: Chamber Works (Apex; originally Erato) Disc 1 - Violin Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2, etc. / Olivier Charlier & Jean Hubeau
