Beautiful solos by Fats and a couple of very fine vocals by Kay Penton, a Billie influenced vocalist who seems to have recorded from the mid 40s to the mid 50s and then disappeared.

Steve Lacy: Clinkers (Hat Hut)

John Carter Quintet: Night Fire (Black Saint)

Water Coast Blues (Flyright) Signed by Honeyboy Edwards, who is one of the artists included on it.

Cashman seems to go for offense. He just signed Sabbathia - Mr. 5 innings and out - for another year.

The Clayton set features some musicians (Lem Davis, Charlie Fowlkes, Julian Dash) who are hard to find in settings where they're soloing at length, plus a lot of well known soloists. A bargain at $95.

Always great to listen to one of the classics.
