Nice ! I've heard an early quartet played by Quartetto italliano only ... Several people think these are excellent and i am curious about 'the good one's' on this set ... Hope to find it someday !

Ts find, first listen. Several extra Schubert songs on disc. This will become 'a favorite' of mine ... Sensitive heartfelt Schubert like i've never heard before. I've never been a fan of Dieskau's Schubert.

Ha, you're well stocked anyway (as ar eothers who've commented in this thread). By comparison I seem to ahve just a sampling of he bare essentials (the Blue Notes 1205 and 1206 and some assorted 50s on Verve and Riverside and the one with Papa Bue on Storyville, but that should do, I guess). But as a "period piece" in between it is fun every now and then to listen to a rare George Lewis track that surfaced on one of those CD-Rs with radio broadcasts and amateur concert recordings from local jazz events in the 50s and 60s that I was able to take home in recent months, in this case an excerpt from an airshot of 16 February 1967 featuring a local oldtime jazz band (The Goodtime Five) who played a "get-well" concert for George Lewis in the hospital where he had been hospitalized during a tour in Germany. And as the radio speaker announced at the beginning of this excerpt, George Lewis was well enough again so nobody was able to restrain him from joining in on the proceedings for their collective rendering of "Alexander's Ragtime Band". A slice of history that's not in every discography ...

It's always a struggle! I have several of those shows on my list too, but I also included the conflicts. I tend to make many of those decisions on the fly ... depending on my mood and logistics. Since it's impossible to see all the shows you want to see, I comfortable with whatever I see. Roscoe and Tyshawn is a must-see, though! I saw Parker's Expansion Trio in Chicago at the Sound & Gravity Festival last September. Definitely worth seeing.

Bauhaus meets Japan

Bette Davis was badass.

I own a lot of these, and have the Red Holloway on order. Nice series.

I just recently revisited Really the Blues and Turn Me Loose White Man! Learned a lot. Thanks for your work on that! A friend called me an expert on roots music and I was so embarrassed after having worked my way through those 2 collections! He has no idea.

I just picked up 3 more of these today. I'm looking forward to spinning them over the next few days. I got the Gene Ammons, Red Holloway & another of the Johnny Hammond Smith discs.

Played Joshua Redman "Walking Shadows" and now playing "Compass." It took me a while but I really like his playing.

K.496 and K.502

One of the reasons why Rocket 88 gets so much attention was an accident. One of the amplifiers blew out and created an unexpected distortion in the bass, which sounded like....Rock and Roll, or at least different than the song that they based it on: Jimmy Liggins' Cadillac Boogie.

Nice haul, @Kevin Bresnahan!
