There are those who don't like LISTS. I am among those who do like lists. It gives me insight into the taste and opinions of others. Also as has has been stated, it may suggest some items that I have missed or overlooked. Hutch is a prime list maker as I have followed his previous lists of jazz favorites from specific decades. I very much enjoyed seeing his selections. It will take a bit of time to put it together, but I will post a list of some of my favorite piano trio recordings.

That's what it feels like when I take a bunch of CDs into a used store.

Me too, but it never does !

MUZA SXL 1181 St - Jazz Jamboree 74 Vol. 2 - rec. 1974 live at the Congress Hall, Warshaw, Poland - McCoy Tyner Quintet (A) - Stan Getz Quartet (B)

I really like that record.

Supraphon ST 1152309 (CSSR) - Ludek Hulan Group - rec. 1978

Wanted to go way back. Some of my eldest family members had Bunny Berigan discs to spin and I associate his music with relatives gathered for fun and food. Bunny Berigan “1938” Chronogical Classics cd 300×298 11.5 KB I’m including a photo of my great-uncle (always just “Uncle”) Arvin “Suds” Selquist, Berigan fan and perpetual prankster, one fine human.

I'm going to leave this up here for another day then I'm going to move it over to the Hoffman forums to see if I can move more out over there. I have to get these off my shelves. I have CDs laying all over the place these days and it's got to stop.

I read some remarks about this release elsewhere and hadn’t heard it in a LONG time so decided to spin this Atlantic cd edition: Yes “Tormato”

The jam session with Lester Young, Roy Eldridge, Teddy Wilson, Benny Goodman, Ben Heller, Sid Weiss, and Jo Jones is from the November 16, 1938 Martin Block’s Make Believe Ballroom broadcast. To me this is the Holy Grail of the Savory Collection. The tunes included, “Tea for Two,” “After You’ve Gone,” and “I Know that You Know.” The last one has been available in rather poor sound. In the attached program you can hear, at the beginning, part of Young’s “After You’ve Gone” solo and then within the program all of “Tea for Two” and “I Know that You Know” are included and in great sound. Hope spring eternal that one day these will see a wider release.

One of the best Thiftstore-finds of today

Woke up early and couldn’t go back to sleep so I’ve decided to spin a disc after watching a little bit from the DVR on headphones.. I’ve chosen Charles Lloyd Trio “Ocean” on Blue Note cd. A good late night/early morning vibe. Sounding so good on the system as it warms up!

Thanks, Mike. So basically the history from 1959 onwards. So it would complement "Latin Jazz- The Perfect Combination" by Raûl Fernandez (about 70 to 80% of that book focus on the pre-1959 revolution era). "Cubano Beo Cubano Bop" by Leonardo Acosta also devotes more than 50% to the history of the pre-1959 period (which is fine with me, but at least to me it is marred by an awkward and overly stilted translation which makes reading a chore).

Yes, I know, but I wasn't discussing this so was confused. Thanks.

Those are the ones. IIRC there are no new songs with Christian but several unreleased performances. The jam session with Prez that was done for a radio show is terrific.
