On half of the tracks from the original 1960 album, "some of Basie's cats" appear -- the Two Franks, Al Grey, Joe Newman and Freddie Green.  The Lonehill Jazz CD reissue also includes the album Deep Roots from two years later.

Much of my listening lately has been the audiobbok version of Elvis Costello's new memoir:

51yVFK-oX8L.jpg

I'm currently at Disc 5 of 15.  He has a lot of interesting tales to tell, and in the early discs, it's not always so much about himself as about his parents.  His father was a singer with the Joe Loss band and came into contact with a lot of the stars and up-and-comers in the UK music biz of the 1950's and 60's and on occasions when young Declan might accompany his dad to a gig, he got to meet some of them as well.  His mom worked for a time in a record shop and was instrumental in smuggling some Lee Konitz and Lennie Tristano records into England for a customer (a tale Mr. Costello was able to recount to Mr. Konitz years later when the latter made a guest appearance on one of his albums).  He seems to be aware of his own limitations as a singer and songwriter (at least, it doesn't sound like false modesty), but is justly proud of his best work.  He does jump around in time a lot here, as one experience in his youth might remind him of a  situation from much later in his life, and my lack of knowledge of the geography of the UK & London is a bit of a hindrance.

I've always wanted to like Elvis Costello's music more than I do.  He seems like an intelligent enough chap with a world view beyond just "sex & drugs & rock 'n roll", but outside of the usual hits, most of his music just hasn't done much for me.  Still, he is an interesting storyteller.
