Not one of the all time great LPs. It had a few good moments. Mostly I am just surprised no one has put it out on CD.

Clifford Jordan's piano-less trio (featuring Philly Joe in his final days) is fascinating, yet it's never been released on CD, nor is it available for streaming or on YouTube. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rotterdam_Session

Coming back to the original strange statement about Brecker not playing real jazz, those who know and love real jazz just need to listen him on those records on Impulse and Verve. And then, too, maybe someone should ask why Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Dave Holland, Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, Charlie Haden, Jack DeJohnette, etc. were out there playing "not real" jazz with schlocky pop-jazz player Michael Brecker.

Brewers - 95 wins

The Sam Rivers is sold. Others are still available.

And the tables (possibly) turned. There's a story (maybe apochryphal) about Kenny G coming up to Brecker at a festival and saying to Brecker something like "you are so great! I can't understand why I'm so much more popular when you're so great!" and Brecker simply replying "neither can I" and walking away. Not sure where I first heard that story, maybe even here...

Yeah, Discogs does not show a CD release. 11 cuts, 32 minutes, song choices like "Strangers in the Night", "Somewhere My Love", etc. Doesn't look overly promising to me, but I do think the album cover is very cool!

Is it actually the case that Stan Kenton's Plays for Today has not made it to CD? I've been digging around and it seems like a few of the songs were on CD compilations, but not the whole album, which is quite surprising to me. I haven't listened to it yet (I just picked it up from a charity shop!), so I can't really say if it is a great LP, though it seems promising. Do let me know your thoughts.

Symphony 3 conducted by Robert Kajanus, an old favorite.

"Brecker's solo stuff isn't even really jazz." Really? I mean, really?

Do we know this was a V-Disc?

I'm convinced.

Verve MV 2555 (Japan 1976) - Sonny Rollins " Brass And Trio" - rec. 1958

The latest entry in this outstanding series:

Well, whaddaya know? Serves me right for never having paid maximum attention to the Miller bands. Anyway ... this tune certainly was not a staple of BLACK (big) bands of those years. Offhand I am only aware of a version of Pistol Packin' Mama by Louis Jordan (on a Jubilee program, but he never recorded it commercially).
