Now, “The Inimitable Teddy Wilson” Xanadu cd Teddy with Duke Jordan, Larry Ridley and Freddie Waits. Really hitting the spot right now.

Unfortunately they are not publicly available.

Thelonious Monk “Bremen 1965” Sunnyside 2 cd set, disc 1 It’s cold. Going to be cold til late Monday when our new furnace should be installed. And lots of snow too. Oh joy. Sneaking in a little music before I have to deal with my wife’s increasing anxiety again. Got this new release in yesterday and it is in EXCELLENT (mono) sound. Thelonious Monk “Bremen 1965” Sunnyside 2 cd set, disc 1 Good performances too. .

Qobuz is running a nice sale on HighNote label. This includes quite a few Woody Shaw releases. CD quality downloads of Woody Shaw Live Vol. 1 - 4 are dirt cheap, $2.95 or $3.70, as are the two volumes of The Tour: $4.44 each.

Where can others view these log books?

Don't know. My CD set is 2 disks. Haven't read the extensive Ashley Kahn liners, though. Might be explained there?

Excellent...

About 1969 I read in Down Beat one of their writers (probably a columnist) refer to an incident, but he did not name names. A musician (I think a sax player) was mad at his employer, and intended to quit. So for his last performance, every note of every solo was the same note. One note for an entire set. Instead of ruining the performance as he expected, the crowd loved it and went wild. Does anybody know who the employee and employer were, and anything else about that anecdote?

Have to confess, I’ve ever taken note of who was on drums on Black Narcissus before — and Humair has quite a discography it appears! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Humair

Any memory of why the 2 editions ( single or double cd )?

My fave is Horenstein on Chesky - 2 individual discs. Check the contents and see if one pleases you.

What else makes it different is Daniel Humair!

Original mono LP

This is a wonderful collection of Karas's work. It contains the original version of the "Harry Lime Theme," along with other tracks from The Third Man. (There's even a really nice version of "Silent Night"!) If you like the movie, you'll love this disc.

Looking for recommendations for a single CD of Strauss waltzes. Or Strauss-period waltzes. Target audience: casual classical music listeners who actually would like to dance to some waltzes. Fun over erudition!

will grip if US sellers stock this; I have a digital promo someplace. It is a pretty neat set.

This is such a good album*. Disc 1 from the Mosaic (which starts with this album) includes the gorgeous "Barbara's Theme." * [I would've cut "My Funny Valentine" and substituted something else. That said...]

I don't know. I got this last year. It might have been this one: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/a-cool-yuletide-remastered-2018-urbie-green-and-his-all-stars/u0r1u4phv4kja BTW - I found this link in this thread:

This has been re-pressed for anyone who slept on it the first time
