From '84 but a new one for me. Really enjoying it. 

That looks interesting.  Will have to look into that one.

I like Ignatzek.  He made some excellent records with Claudio Roditi.

First Ignatzek for me. Based on this I’ll seek out more.

"The Complete Roulette Jack Teagarden Sessions" disc IV

I have several versions of this material, stereo and mono LPs and Japanese SHM-CDs, and it all sounds so good. Jack's playing and singing are a good fit for my today.

That would make a really solid 3-on-2 Blue Note CD collection, if they (ever) did something like that.

A very fine big band album. It features one of my favorite "little known" tenor players - Bob Rockwell.

First time listening in a few decades, and I like it as much now as ever, albeit for probably completely different reasons. 

Bruce Johnstone came to play. Hell, the whole band came to play. When people come to play, hell, that's all you can ask of them. How they do, that's their business. They're not gaming you, so enjoy the honest humanity in that

To accompany my reading of this, with which I'm still persevering:

Charlie Christian was so much further down the road than Dizzy in 1941! In my ears he's coming out as the virtual inventor of bop. I must refresh my knowledge of Bird with Jay McShann.

P.S. Ah yes, 1941 Bird is way out there, too. So Diz must have made enormous steps before his 1945 recordings.
