Good stuff, Ken! Thanks for sharing!

More Duke Jordan:

Timings and a quick compare lead me to ID 2 as The Barbara Song composed by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. In other news: Grant Green – First Recordings – CD (Compilation, Remastered), 2013 [r13568700] | Discogs If six was nine ... well it is.

Good Idea. I had a lot of work the last nights and in the small hours listened to easy music, like the last days the 4 Prestige Miles Albums Cookin´ Relaxin´Workin´Steamin´, this night towards the morning hours I am sure I will spin what you suggested, that´s the right music for exhausted albeit happy people. I had to suffer so much this year, but my girlfriend is such a great help I´m much better now. oh I love those four ESP disks of Bud at Birdland. For example I like the version of "Tea for Two" much better than the studio record for Verve, and "It could happen to you" much better than on the BN album. And on this album I think "Oblivion" is also much better than the Verve. At least in my opinion.

Goodman on Verve? With Christian? What is this?

Disease-infested jam sessions? Hmmm.

Just pretend it's Art Tatum but he's got the flu.

Bingo! There ta'go. Now to find the album this version is on? Indeed. The three ECM albums by that trio are distinctively delightful. They form yet another chapter of Carla's evolution. She covered SO much ground in her life!

Thanks. Wow, that was recorded in 2019, released in 2020 and AFAICT (admittedly via Wikipedia) is Carla Bley's last recording.

The JATP format did encourage grandstanding that could get excessive. But the quality and individuality of many of the musicians on this box saves it all. For me, just the prospect of more Lester Young made buying this set a no brainer.

👍 Now:

Artemis, Arboresque (Blue Note)

The Essential Benny Goodman (Verve) Jimmy Smith, Open House (Blue Note)

👍

Ibrahim Maalouf “Kalthoum” Arranged By – Frank Woeste, Ibrahim Maalouf Double Bass – Larry Grenadier Drums – Clarence Penn Piano – Frank Woeste Saxophone – Mark Turner Trumpet – Ibrahim Maalouf

I hardly ever wonder anything like that. Vive la difference.

I actually played quite a bit of this box when I got it and enjoyed the music but I don't think I've played it since. There's a lot of jamming here and you almost have to wonder, "Do I need all of this"?

Cold morning. Really quiet. I’m letting Lucinda sleep as long as she can. Starting off with a “birthday boy”–Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis with Shirley Scott, Smokin’ From this box set 300×299 10.3 KB

Edit to say Track 7! D'OH!
