A bit earlier - 'Herbie Nichols Complete Blue Note', LP1. One of my 'stash'.

There's a flyer in this box inviting me to buy Vols 1 and 2 of the Commodore set and receive Vol 3 at 20% discount. They even provide a pre-paid reply envelope. I wonder if I should respond? :crazy:

Also in there is Mosaic 'Brochure No. 5' with Herbie Nichols on the front as the 'new release' and a nice little article by Larry Kart on the back !

Listening to my recently bought Jazz Crusaders box set. When i started participating on this board, someone recommended this set. To be honest i knew next to nothing about this ensemble and was not familiar with the majority of the musicians, Wayne Henderson was one of the rare people whose name rang a bell.

Going through the cd number 3 of this fine set and i enjoy very much what i have heard so far, fine soloing, interesting melodies and the arrangements are listener friendly without being too easy.

So i'd like to thank very much the member who suggested it.

I played that all the way through yesterday - first time for about a year. Wow!

One thing I noticed for the first time was how alike Wayne's and Wilton's playing is. Some solos might be played by the other (on the other instrument, of course). I suspect this was part of the secret.

'Columbia Small Group Swing Sessions 1953-62'. CD6 - the Clark Terry/Coleman Hawkins session which gets quite a bit of stick in the booklet. Have allways liked this session, for all its flaws.

Next up: Johnny Smith set.

What was wrong with the first Nelson set you received from Amazon, Bob? Got my new CD player yesterday and it is a good set to test it with. I have really enjoyed what I have listened to so far.

The Oliver Nelson set. Got my new CD player yesterday and it is a good set to test it with. I have really enjoyed what I have listened to so far.

Yeh, it's a great set. So many highlights on it. 'Jazzhattan Suite', 'The Kennedy Dream', 'Peter & The Wolf'. Sound didn't disappoint either (although I would give my back teeth for a vinyl version).
