All arrived yesterday:

Brownie: The Complete Emarcy Recordings of Clifford Brown

Buddy De Franco -- Wholly Cats

Buddy De Franco -- I Hear Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw

Those LoneHill Jazz ones are on a good markdown these days (finally). I'm hoping the Clifford Brown is as good as the Blue Note / Pacific Jazz set.

IMHO, it's far better!

Ordered a couple of things last night:

Giants of Small Band Swing, vols. 1 & 2

Libby Holman -- "Moanin' Low - Early Recordings 1927 - 1934"

I was led to the Holman by some tracks she appears on recorded July 1929 with The Cotton Pickers on the Timeless Historical release "The Original Memphis Five, Napoleaon's Emperors, The Cotton Pickers 1928 - 1929." A wonderful disc. The tune with Holman that caught my ear was "He's a Good Man to Have Around," of which there are both a vocal and instrumental version on the Cotton Pickers disc. Lovely tune. Anyways, looking forward to all three of the above.

Shirley Horn 'I Remember Miles' (Verve)

Various 'Between or Beyond the Black Forest' (MPS)

On LP:

Harold Land 'Xocia's Dance' (Muse)

Art Pepper 'Blues For the Fisherman' (Mole, near mint - not bad for £4 :D )

Hilton Ruiz 'Strut' (RCA Novus - even better for £2 !)

Soft Machine 'Fifth' (UK CBS original)

Freddie Hubbard Without A Song: Live In Europe 1969

41HNZXfqFKL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

Jackie McLean Old And New Gospel

What's your opinion on the Hubbard?

Apart from some disturbing cymbal work of Louis Hayes on some tracks, this is a remarkable set of music. Freddie is on the top of his game. Definitively recommended. I would be interested if others share my opinion regarding the disturbing cymbals ?

I agree.IMO, Hayes is overly busy at times on this day, still in all I really enjoy this recording. It's defintely a must-listen
