Count Basie - Basie Jam at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1975 (Pablo)
Interesting to hear Johnny Griffin, who plays like his normal bad-ass self, in this context -- since he wasn't a Granz jam session regular.

Art Tatum - Masterpieces (MCA, 2-LPs)
Everything here sounds great -- but today I'm really enjoying the bluesy band tracks with Joe Turner's vocals.

took my Portrait of Cannonball out of the shrink today, there was no special sticker, it was crispy + yellowed, and crap i kept it on there sixty freaking years it wasnt protecting the jacket at all so i thought screw it and i took it off, looks a lot better IMO.  It was a pretty involved process though

Image result for portrait of cannonball

The Afro-Blues Quintet Plus One - Introducing [CBS UK]

Never heard of them before and purchased with the Thomas above. Reckon they must've come from the same collection.

It's a Soul Jazz fiesta here this afternoon. Where's The Magnificent Goldberg when I need him for education about these albums?

Now being issued on CD.

I saw that too. Ben just e-mailed me about the availability. Ordered my copy.

I've wondered about the viability of Newvelle Record's business model. If all it takes is waiting a couple of years and to get a CD version with extra tracks for about 25% of the cost of the Newvelle LP version, I would think many will wait. I can't see them gaining too many more subscriptions now that this is happening.

Now, if they had launched their service with a much more reasonable price, I'd be a subscriber already.

Right; 6 records for $400, I don't think so.

It’s good - adventurous early 70s trio with Harry Miller. Ratip was living in London at the time but is now resident in Turkey I believe.

There is one other LP by him on the Lansdowne Series which is more straight ahead I think.

Now up - lovely easy-listening disk from Amancio D. Sort of ‘Val Doonican with balls’.
