Thanks, Bev!

John Lewis, Wonderful World of Jazz (Spotify)

Now that I've dealt with the first wave of finds on Spotify, I decided to follow Nico's example and register with Deezer as well. First find: Archie Shepp's Four for Trane, which is neither in my record collection nor on Spotify. If Bev follows suit, he might wish to change the title of this thread again, as I'll be reporting my Deezer listening here, as Nico is already doing.

Ravi Coltrane Robbie Coltrane Robbie Burns

Jim Hall, Live!

Delilah Dr Doolittle Heidelberger

Dizzy Gillespie and his Big Band in Concert Featuring Chano Pozo

The Sopranos Mezz Mezzrow Alfie Bass

And that's just last week's acquisitions!

Red Garland, Groovy With Paul Chambers and Art Taylor. So far, this one is a winner!

The Rajah Sheik of Araby Shake Keane

Eddie Costa, Guys and Dolls Like Vibes With Bill Evans, Paul Motian and Wendell Marshall. Recorded Jan 1958.

Welcome to the UK, Nico! Access to Spotify is one of the few things it's got to recommend it these days! Still, I guess you'll get a good deal for your euros! love spotify! big advantage compared with deezer is that there is so much of the emi catalogue (also some enjas)... also much better (though still not sufficient) discographical information... but deezer has more universal stuff, jazz in paris, mps, ojcs (much more gene ammons iirc) but luckily for this week i can have both... having a great time here i hope, already listened to hank mobley's a slice of the top, had some great indian food and took a walk one a spooky looking cemetery at night... Take care! What city are you in? Thanks for the Spotify/Deezer comparison; I must give Deezer a try sometime. It's just that I'm somewhat overwhelmed by Spotify's abundance of riches at the moment! deezer is even easier to use, you don't need any software you just have to register (in addition to what i said, deezer has a lower sound quality and more ecms - played enrico rava's new york days with mark turner and stefano bollani last night - great one!) I'm in Kenilworth... can't really imagine living in so small a place but for the moment it's more than charming... Kenilworth! Probably even safe there to walk in cemeteries at night! Thought you were perhaps unwisely in Highgate Cemetery in London! Kenilworth - your visit anything to do with Warwick University? a conference in warwick indeed, the cemetery is right across the street and not fenced in (strangely, maybe because it is only old graves from before 1920 or so...) it looked pretty safe at least joe albany - portrait of an artist My younger daughter graduated from Warwick University last year. I must listen to that Joe Albany album. I saw him playing an upright piano in a room over a Manchester pub in the 1970s during a tour organised by Tony Williams of Spotlite records. Joe looked in pretty bad shape and I read in the reference books of his experience of addiction and prison.

Chico Hamilton, Three Classic Albums Plus

Portrait of Art Farmer

I haven't heard the Music Minus One discs mentioned for years. Sort of karaoke for jazz musicians!

Scott Hamilton Hamilton Academicals Don Cherry

What a talented guy! Don't forget his piano playing - as well as his arranging, of course! He was a brilliant innovator - the Quartet, Sextet and Concert Jazz Band were all without precedent.
