There's a three 3 cd set of Basie's later career on Pablo,small group, vocalists and big band. I'd recommend it. Not expensive -
My uncle and Ted Hughes got into lots of mischief at Cambridge, so my parents knew him and Sylvia Plath quite well. RPW was a good friend of my grandfather and I remember meeting him several times as a child. I read the Winslow-good but not as good as the narco trilogy which is top tier, IMO.

I like it but too electric for my father who played with Shank in a high school band. We saw BS a couple of times in DC and my father and BS reminisced between sets.

Given its release date, is this set still worth acquiring? Or, how much has been separately released? -

Desmond 75 set-disc one. While hardly groundbreaking, the standards are very well played. My wife loved it-big bonus. -

I'll be in Denver for a few days in late April and will have some free nights. Any clubs worth a visit? What's the best online events calendar? Thanks!

Revisiting "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!" (the album)
mr jazz replied to Larry Kart's topic in Recommendations
Though the original liner notes state that it was recorded at the Club DeLisa in Chicago, it was actually recorded at Capitol's Hollywood studio with an invited audience and an open bar.[4] The reason for this discrepancy, according to the liner notes in the CD reissue, is that Adderley and the new manager of Club DeLisa (which had been renamed "The Club", after operating for years in Chicago under its old name) were friends, and Adderley offered to give the club a bit of free publicity. The open bar was a brilliant idea. -

dled the 24/192 from PSM just now. Fair price of $13.49 I thought. Will have a listen soon. -
Jazz Crusaders - do I need any of their *live* albums? — if I’ve got the Mosaic of their studio output.
