I am unsure if he's still alive, but the alto saxophonist Byron Allen was born on this day in 1939.

Understand what you mean. Maybe more in your wheel house. Listening to now:

I don't know, I'm not hunting down an average Christmas recording. You want to buy an average Christmas recording? Pass on the reissue.

I have this one, nice with Milt Jackson, but in general I listen more to the Mobley around the time of „Soul Station”. I find, the early BN albums are very very similar. Same with Morgan. I think this one is the one with the Benny Golson Arrangements, its nice. Is that the one with a cute waltz on it? I kept only one of the 1950´s Morgan, I think it is called "The Cooker". In rest I have more from the 60´s I think, only that I don´t really listen much to the "Sidewinder", prefer other albums like "Search of a New Land", that´s what I love most.

Right, you didn't enter 'pop'. Someone else did, or somehow defaulted to pop, and their application (iTunes, etc) sent it to the Gracenote Database, which is where your application pulled it from. The database appears to retain alternate sets of metadata and sometimes you are asked by your application to choose which one fits your cd.

Guess I should have said "historic recordings aside ..." Obviously things like Charlie Brown Christmas and Nat Cole's recording stay in print or get the deluxe treatment. But where is the average jazz Christmas recording that gets reissued?

I got the Byas and Sanders sets at the same time. I'll have to go back and recheck how the Sanders loaded but I don't have any presets that would put Byas or anyone else in "pop". It was a weird occurrence and a minor annoyance since my library is pretty large, which causes these tracks to get buried in obscurity bc I rarely if ever access my collection for pop.

My father is the real reason I love music so much, and also have an interest in audio playback. I spent many many hours as a kid and as an adult hearing what he was hearing, and I'm so grateful.

Many thanks for your remembrances of Guy, which are quite similar to mine! And also for the links.

Great choice, really cool 👍 I actually don't know what my father liked to listen to, so I am happy you do. Killer record!

And now, I was thinking of my Dad and decided to hear something he would spin. My family rarely played any secular Xmas music when we were growing up, as a minister and a classical music lover he just didn’t want to hear that stuff. THIS was his Christmas go to . . . and I decided to listen to disc 1 of my cd copy this morning.
