Now this one tops The Avril Lavigne cover, or perhaps inspired it? https://www.discogs.com/release/6015439-Johnny-Guitar-Watson-Gettin-Down-With

Check here: https://jazzdiscography.com/Artists/thelonious-monk/thelonious-monk-discography.php#sess-year_1971 There are 30 takes, according to this well researched discography.

Received today. Excellent album.

If so, there are no recordings. On the two Contemporary LPs it was Don Payne, Red Mitchell, or Percy Heath. Maybe Vinnegar was on a gig that Miles heard live in California, or he mixed him up with another bass player. Higgins and Vinnegar were teamed on so many sessions .....

Beware of Enlightenment reissues. the few I bought all were audibly inferior to other reissues. I'd recommend the Fresh Sound CD for the Pacific Jazz sessions which also has the advantage of adding tracks from compilations or singles, and it sounds good. https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/teddy-edwards-albums/5469-it-s-about-time-with-les-mc-cann-feat-gloria-smyth.html https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/teddy-edwards-albums/5471-sunset-eyes-teddy-edwards-quartet-complete-recordings-4-lps-on-2-cds.html

Absolutely beautiful!

Yesterday and today:

I wish all of you get over this without harm. We had a week of freezing here in mid-December but this was nothing compared to what you experience. Now it has 10 degrees centigrade day and night and the rain washed away what liittle snow there was.

As we all know this never happened. Fresh Sound did a good job reissuing most Les McCann albums with tracks from singles and compilations added. I got all of these earlier this year and was not disappointed.

Now that one is a favourite with my wife, so ......

I saw your post, but I am not a Peanuts/Guaraldi completist.

Go and have a listen. I would buy them again without hesitation and have a smaller size pair in my bedroom. CJ Shearn is another board member loving Focal speakers.

The CD-30 is back in the living room after we rearranged some furniture. I surprised my wife by turing the new sofa we got this summer by 90 degrees, and she surprised me by confessing that she loved rearranging rooms every now and then. So i moved the Focal speakers to face the sofa and brought the micromega player back in. The Lou Rawls Xmas disc sounds fabulous.

Thanks!

Thanks for the hint, but my preferred mail order dealer had one copy left at reduced price as they sell out some of their stock by the end of the year. It is on its way to me, and I am very much looking forward to it. I happen to play a set of Remo Mastertouch drums, the same brand Jeff used to play. They are no longer manufactured, it seems.

After several weekends without wine due to a mild Covid infection, our Xmas weekend bottle: AVOGADRI Diamante 2017 Puglia Indicazione Geografica Tipica

Today: (I still have it with the first title and cover)

You better change the thread title accordingly, but where is the line between sexy and not so sexy?

Oh - that one went on my list for next year.

A special offer from JPC gave me the chance to complete the Fats Waller series.
