Thad Jones - disk 3

Flashback to ...

Yeah - SO many albums! I have some of the Earland and Murphy LPs but don't have a turntable setup anymore unfortunately. Some of the Mark Murphy stuff has been reissued in compilations on Concord/Savoy: "Songbook" and "Giants of Jazz: Mark Murphy"

As 80s pop albums go, that's a pretty good one. Just stumbled upon this one. Good songwriting, and well produced.

Not sure if it's been discussed already, but a whole lot of Muse albums are sitting out there OOP and unavailable on digital.

Starting with this album from Steve's new "Decade" box

I have this 1965 studio album by the Sextet that's pretty good. Would be interesting to hear some of these tunes in a live setting.

I like Potter. Recently saw a Zoom discussion between him and Miguel Zenon, which was pretty interesting.

That was a good show. Agreed about Azar - he was in top form. Not as old as I thought - 66. Having first heard him in the early 70s with McCoy I figured he had to at least be in his 70s.

Saw the Pharaoh Sanders/Azar Lawrence show from Zebulon in LA. It was very well done. The 2 saxes sounded great together, too. Although it was shown yesterday, it was actually recorded last month.

That was a good collection!

Interesting Indie album. Lots of Velvet Underground influences.

Jack White posted this on FB after his performance on SNL last night: "i thought it could be a nice gesture for me to use this blue eddie van halen model guitar for one of the songs tonight on SNL. the guitar was designed by eddie (with a few customizations i had added). eddie was very kind to me and saw to it that this guitar was made for me to my specs. i wont even insult the man’s talent by trying to play one of his songs tonight. thanks again eddie for this guitar and rest in peace sir."

Missed the Bad Plus but plan to catch "mssv" next week.
