Billy Butterfield & The Essex Five - “Deed I Do” 

yes, I have been discovering a new/old trumpet player.  This track keeps me grooving with its economically tight front line and a great drummer. The drum work is more bebop while the trumpet/sax harmony almost goes cool.  Think Kenny Clarke + cool Miles - ahhh.  
 

College Jazz Sampler, 1955

"I Can't Get Started" from the Lee Konitz/Paul Bley album "Out of Nowhere" (Steeplechase) 1997. In fact just about every track on this one is a jaw dropper, with Bley at his most brilliantly eccentric and Lee hitting every Bley curve ball, changeup, knuckleball, even a few beanballs right on the nose in an inspired manner. What a day in the studio this must have been.

Is it just me, or is Sinatra adopting an Eckstine-ish approach to his harmony/intervals on this one? He certainly did some amazing things on ballads over the years, but this one seems more overtly "boppish" than usual? 

Or maybe it's Riddle putting it there
