Excellent project! Keep it goin’!

Heartfelt thanks for this excellent thread, HutchFan. Engaging and enlightening, as it should be. I have been following it since the beginning, though not participating too much. I’m so happy I have taken note of dozens of suggestions. Guess my wife and my wallet are not that happy! 🤣

Ory + Red Allen = YESSSS!!! 👌

Christmas present for me. Next in my to-read pile.

I hate Christmas music! 😡 Signed: Mr. Scrooge . . . . . . . . . (just joking 🙃)

As for the newly issued vintage jazz, I would add: -the new Rollins (despite its below-average sound for some of the live recordings, the edits et al... the music is GREAT!!!) -the Dexter Gordon Quartet with Tete at Montmartre -the Wilen/Tete ‘88 recordings from Grenoble

Definitely, Spanish pianist http://www.moisessanchez.com/ I discovered him as part or Ernesto Aurignac’s Pluton ensemble and have been digging into his jazz (and classical) discography ever since. IMHO, the greatest talent on piano nowadays in Spain.

Wishing you all the best (possible) Christmas from Spain! Stay safe and keep in mind that 2021 will be a MUCH BETTER year!

I was a latecomer to the BNBB, just a few months before the blow up. But happy it served as a trampoline to join this forum. This was the place to be... and still IS!!! Many, many names have disappeared throughout these 17 years (P.D., marcoliv, mmilovan... those were good friends back in the day. I even met and had dinner with marcoliv here in Madrid, many moons ago. With mmilovan I have just got in touch again...). Great contributions along the way, hopefully many more to come.
