Milt Jackson Quartet - an actual Oriole copy, not CBS, and looking pristine!

Lionel-Hampton-Hamp-470526.jpg

Lionel Hampton - cheapo MFP reissue of a 1955 Clef album by the big band, with Eddie Chamblee sounding dangerous as ever.

More Hamp - cheapo CBS reissue of a 1954 concert. Eddie Chamblee not with the band, regrettably. Another looking pristine.

Yes - listened to them all now. Very nice.

And not expensive - a tenner for the MIlt, four and five for the Hamps.

There was a Buddy Tate there - his Felsted album - but it was thirty-five quid (about $50). It was in the shop last year, too. If it's still there in six months, I'll make him a derisory offer. Ain't an album been made that's worth $50, to paraphrase Syd Nathan.

Today's haul is a couple of 2CD sets from Syllart, which are available from Sterns now, or Amazon, I think.

Just been listening to the Sosseh. The sound on the earliest material is disgraceful! Sounds like those tapes that West African taxi drivers play. MOST authentic! I've got quite a bit of this, but there's a lot I've never heard before. Really nice!

In the same series as the Laba Sosseh. I think I have quite a bit of this one, too.

How is this? As adventurous as the Bud Powell composition, or fairly straight-ahead Fifties stuff?

Well, I think it's wonderful. As the cover illustration suggests, an exploration of the past, but such interesting choices, including the intriguing Powell's "Glass Enclosure", Freddie Redd's "Thespian", Barry Harris's "Tadd", Dizzy's "I Waited For You" and Bill Hardman's "Just For Marty". Remarkably strong soloing from people who aren't big names: Greg Gisbert (tpt), Ralph Lalama (tnr), Gary Pribeck (alt) and Hod O'Brien (pno).

He's featured on the entirety of the 3rd disc, 26 songs.

Furds wail me? That's a new one for me. What does that mean?

It's a spoonerism. Words fail me.
