Really working for me today.

Never heard this before today-dug it entirely.

Two of my favorites together! I have never heard (or heard of) this.

I keep coming back to this one.

I was 13 when Band of Gypsys came out; it was the first new Hendrix release since I had developed a love for his music. Probably for this reason I find this to be Hendrix's greatest work...

Herbie plays organ (for a very short bit) on Right Off from Miles' Tribute to Jack Johnson.

Perhaps this is not the answer you seek, but I have a great deal of my music downloaded onto my computer. I generally create playlists and organize the music from Itunes. Apple music allows me to access my Itunes library anywhere, so that's been the answer for me.

If the Vanguard set is in the works can the Bill Barron set be far behind?

Examining the list of recordings excluded from the set due to licensing, I was entirely unfamiliar with the Don Byas/Tyree Glenn recordings from Paris 1946-1947. I realize that only the first session was a possibility on the set owing to the time parameters, but I am finding these sessions to be pretty worthwhile. DON BYAS / TYREE GLENN / PEANUTS HOLLAND Paris, Oct. 18, 1946 Peanuts Holland (tp¸438, vo-439), Tyree Glenn (tb¸438), Hubert Rostaing (as-440), Don Byas (ts), Billy Taylor (p), Ted Sturgis (b), Buford Oliver (dm). Swing 437-1 Working Eyes 438-1 Gloria 439-1 Peanut Butter Blues 440-1 Mohawk Special TYREE GLENN AND HIS ORCHESTRA Paris, Jan. 13, 1947 Peanuts Holland (tp), Tyree Glenn (tb), Hubert Rostaing (cl), Don Byas (ts), Billy Taylor (p), Jean-Jacques Tilché (g), Jean Bouchety (b), Oliver Buford (dm). Blue Star 1869 Mad Monk 1870 Please Don't Talk About Me 1871 The Hour of Parting 1872 I Can't Get Started 1873 Billie's Bounce 1874 I Surrender Dear DON BYAS AND HIS REE-BOPPERS Paris, Jan. 27, 1947 Peanuts Holland (tp, vo-1899), Don Byas (ts), Billy Taylor (p), Jean-Jacques Tilché (g), Jean Bouchety (b), Oliver Buford (dm).

It seems that most of the artists I listen to do not schedule performances in Memphis. In a rare exception, there is a broadcast of this Anthony Davis opera from the Met being shown locally. Unfortunately for me, none of my acquaintances have the slightest interest in opera (even if Marty Ehrlich is in the band).

I've been going to this record regularly in the last couple of months-owing to my failure to appreciate it earlier.

Timme Rosenkrantz/Andy Kirk/Count Basie/Lips Page, Joe Turner, Pete Johnson/Minton's (with Charlie Christian) His Basie involvement would account for the majority-of course if you eliminate the one's he doesn't solo on, the number of discs becomes pretty manageable.

Pre-ordered without delay-I love the Mosaic multilabel tenor sax giant sets: Illinois Jacquet, Chu Berry, Coleman Hawkins, and Lester Young. I was a bit disappointed to read this: The following Don Byas sessions of 1944-46 are not included in this set as they are under ownership of various parent labels: Albert Ammons and his Rhythm Kings (Commodore – February 12, 1944) Coleman Hawkins and his Orchestra (Apollo – February 16 and 22, 1944) Eddie Heywood and his Orchestra (Signature – May 2, 1944) Coleman Hawkins and his Sax Ensemble (Keynote – May 24, 1944) Mary Lou Williams and her Orchestra (Asch – June 5, 1944) “Hot Lips” Page and his Orchestra (Commodore – September 29, 1944) Trummy Young and his Orchestra (Signature – December 4, 1944) Cozy Cole’s Orchestra (Keynote – February 2, 1945) Esquire All American 1946 Award Winners (RCA Victor–January 10 & 11, 1946) Dizzy Gillespie and his Orchestra (RCA Victor – February 22, 1946) Teddy Wilson Octet (Musicraft – August 19, 1946) Tyree Glenn and his Orchestra/Don Byas and his Orchestra/Peanuts Holland and his Orchestra (Swing – December 4, 1946)

On repeat. For now.

Love that group-Monette Moore sounds great there.

The Yardbirds from Roger the Engineer (Over Under Sideways Down in the US): Lost Woman - Over Under Sideways Down.

I really like these early trios-listening to them got me interested in Ray Crawford which led to
