Tom 1960

I've always wanted to get the box and booklet for the Lee Morgan 50's set. It's always been a dream of mine but then again I'm allowed to dream.

Beautiful day in Southern Maine. Temps in the mid-to-upper 70s with a nice little breeze.

Box-set arrived a few minutes ago. Man that was fast. Will start listening shortly. Very excited.

I'm a good friend of Mark Feldman and he'll be glad people are still interested in the label. Sales aren't what they used to be obviously. I own a good chunk of the Reservoir catalog. The Fedchocks are some of my favs from the label with Nick Brignola close behind. The Rob Schneiderman dates with Brian Lynch are quite good. Like the Valery Ponomorev dates. The Steve Kuhn's are very good along with the Kenny Barron session. Don't sleep on the Ralph Moore session either. Did I say I like this label? PS Going to get the Bertha Hope release next time I'm in Kingston.

Yep!

Scooped this set up on Ebay just now for $69.

Funny story. So I'm sitting here watching ESPN this morning the program "Get Up" and I see in the background from one of the commentators Desmond Howard, the album Mingus at Carnegie Hall on his shelf. Admittingly I'm not familiar with this album although I read that it is pretty much a jam session album. Not a bad thing at least for me. Curious what are some of your thoughts on this particular release? Released on Atlantic Records.

Sounds like right in my wheelhouse. Thanks Dan.

Ha! You beat me to it. Good on you!
