I will get me a copy - Wilson and Ayers were a dream team.

On to disc two with Les McCann.

Disc one - got this for ten bucks plus shipping, in excellent condition. There was not enough Satchmo in my collection.

Same here.

This one is among my new discs this year - Mayfield has a wonderful trumpet sound here!

Disc one - I really like Pass' 1960's sound and style.

Just ordered a copy - I always forgot about that one. Chances are it might arrive only in January.

Me too!

I always forget about that one when buying some new Xmas jazz ...

Just bought their Charlie Barnet double CD - a good representative selection, good sound, if not spectatcular, as someone above pointed out. Commentary is good and knowledgeable. I had contact with them regarding the Cal Tjader live recordings from the Club Macumba. They had withdrawn the release as they couldn't identify several tunes, which of course was no problem for me. Tjader biographer Duncan S. Reid and yours truly provided them with the necessary information to release the music. My impresssion is they take their business seriously. They have more previously unissued live material in the can.

This weekend's evening bottle: Roche de Belanne CARIGNAN VIEILLES VIGNES, PAYS D’HÉRAULT IGP 2017

The soprano is not to my taste, but she's only on a few tracks. The harp and ensemble playing are wonderful.

Lionel Hampton - Hamp The Complete Decca Recordings. Decca Jazz. $6 Is this the two CD longbox issued by Decca/GRP in 1996? If so, that is not a complete set, but a selection (its title was "The legendary Decca reecordings"). Nevertheless, a good selection, and a steal at that price.

Time to re-activate this thread. I started the season a few days ago with this one: New to the collection this year: The cover design is great IMO.

That's what I call a mutual recommendation society.

That's a nice one, as is the other Chartbusters CD on NYC records: https://www.discogs.com/Chartbusters-Volume-1/master/1295068

I have a French CBS double CD reissue combining these two LPs: The latter included some tracks with the four backing Conte Candoloí, Gene Quill, Seldon Powell, or Jimmy Cleveland, but also some from other groups - Ronnel Bright, Ray Bryant, Sahib Shihab. Columbia recorded a number of sessions that did not produce enough material for a whole LP and ended up in such compilations. There was a third LP: There never was a reissue with all the material involving the Rhythm Section - the Candoli tracks are on a Fresh Sound CD with other sessions of the trumpeter. I like the ballad tracks best - there is a nice Milt Hinton feature on "I'm Gettin' Sentimntal Over You". I always wondered what happened to Galbraith ..... p.s. I cannot find any Donald Byrd tracks with them ...?

From a French double CD reissue combining these two albums.
