Posted 4 August Started today with: Third time trying to get through this one. Kept going back thinking there was something I was missing or just not picking up. Playing is nice enough but the pace is glacial - which is fine, I mean I dig Tord Gustavsen...but there's a decent amount of schmaltz I'm hearing on this and it's just not my thing. So, moved on to: Some of my favorite moments here are when it's just Higgins, Holt & Johnson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 August Time to play something from the Birthday Boy! This is the fourth volume of a great series of discs from Storyville featuring great-sounding live appearances from the All Stars in Scandinavia. I think I like this volume best but all four are dynamite. "Louis Armstrong in Scandinavia, Vol. 4" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am currently enjoying: Dob Pullen and the African Brazilian Connection's Kele Mou Bana. Just finished: Lee Konitz' and Peggy Stern's The Jobim Collection on Philology.
