To me, the best Latin Vocal Jazz album I know - because the singer is jazz and sings mostly jazz standards arranged in a true Latin/Jazz fusion manner, not just a Latin singer with a jazzy backdrop.

Soem irresistable groove on this one! Today's platters:

The CD is on its way to me .....

I'm about to type the data into BRIAN. HutchFan located a copy of the Yambeque CD for me (millions of thanks to him). I think I will start with the RCA sessions and then add the Tico sessions later, then some of the later, as time allows. It's a mountain of work. Incomplete or conttadictory data on various RCA CD reissues. It's a real mess.

Yes - the Saunders King sessions were the hardest part - rather incomplete or contradictory info. I can't remember how many times I read through his memoirs to get the chronology of things right.

This afternoon in the car:

This thread seems to attract more posts than the Sexiest album covers thread, although many would qualify for both.

.... with some Sabu as the perfect soundtrack!

My Pony Poindexter Discography is now online.

The next discography is online: Pony Poindexter Discography

🤪

One disc of each:

What's in for disc 2? Enough discs to get drunk! I just threw disc 5 in the player. Let's meet in the middle. Sans cocktail for me, as I have some more work coming up in the afternoon, involving driving.

The day over in the car:

That's a good one!

All my decisions had nothing to do with each other ...

All the best! I am sure will open a superior tasting bottle this evening. Stay tuned.

Doesn't look like they were reissued. Sure looks interesting, considering he studied with Milhaud, among others. I only know his recordings with Brubeck and the Folk Jazz LP with Jim Hall, which is excellent.

That's the CD reissue I have, but I bought a copy of the LP in excellent condition in the 1970's from a cutout bin. It sounded incredibly good. I should have kept it for the sound, excellent natural room ambience. I sold it when I had grown tired of listening to folk music and needed shelf space.

This afternoon:

I have the Fresh Sound vinyl edition. Will give it a spin tomorrow.

Poindexter tells in his memoirs he left Lambert, Hendricks & Bavan beacuse the latter was no jazz singer in his ears, at least compared to Annie Ross. They did a lot of scatting contests on stage that never were documented on record, and Bavan couldn't do this. The MPS ive CD gives an impression of what he talks about.It must have been a horrifying situation when Annie Ross had to stay behind in the UK for health reasons (she had no insurance in the USA), and finding someone who was able to learn all the arrangements in a very short time was a real challenge. Bavan did a great job, but L H & R was one of a kind. Carol Sloane would have been a good replacement, but she did only a few singular gigs. That MPS swings like mad. Highly recommended!
