Fantastic news. Over Christmas, we were watching the Charlie Brown Christmas Tales DVD, which included music I never heard before. Great stuff indeed!

In case anyone hasn't seen, all the 'other' Charlie Brown specials records have been being released, sometimes for the first time, over the past year or two. Some are pretty good. They're out on vinyl or available to stream.

Buddy Montgomery – Ties

Albert Warner's Brown Buddies/Albert Jiles' Onzaga Owls (American Music)

Milton Nascimento with Wagner Tiso, Ao Vivo at RTSI 1981

He's on some Lawrence Welk reruns, as is Bob Hastings. And if it's not Hucko, it's Henry Quests, who is not Hucko but who is still a good player.

Could almost pass for a Modern Jazz Quartet album.

You won't regret it.

Yeah, I've heard of these titles, specifically here, in great praise, I should just by the Milestone boxset. Haha, You mean like this record?

I've always enjoyed etc.'s piano work on that era of Blue Note albums 😀. I guess Thiele was really fussy about his Impulse contract.

wow, would've been great to see Hucko.

Rarely if ever mentioned in this thread? But one of my very favorite Joe Henderson albums.

Piano Concertos No.21 and No.22

Kenny Burrell “Live at the Five Spot Cafe–The Complete Recordings” Blue Note Japan SHM-SACD

I like all his Milestone stuff but my favorites beside Power to the People are: Tetragon The Elements Mutiple

Joshua Redman - Words Fall Short (Blue Note)

Cold! Big snow storm ahead for the next 48 hours or so. . . I’m saving my strength up for bouts of shoveling! Started off a listening session with Thelonious Monk “Avril 1961” Frémeaux & Associés 2 cd set, disc 1 My favorite Monk quartet with Rouse, Ore and Dunlop. 575×500 69.2 KB Followed by A Jazz Oracle cd, “Edison Hot Dance Obscurities Volume 1”

Some Cecil as the year winds down.

I took a break from Moby Dick to finish this wonderful book by Laurie Lee about his going to Spain right before the Spanish Civil War. During his two years away from home in Gloucestershire he travels by foot from the top of Spain all the way to the South and leaves just as the Civil War heats up. He survives on money he can earn from playing his violin and the kindness of the people he meets. In the book’s epilogue he decides he has made a mistake leaving and hikes over the Pyrenees to get back into Civil War Spain
