I love "St. James Infirmary", even if it´s a tuba solo.

Ralph Berton claims Vic was the first to use brushes on "Remembering Bix":

Last Tuesday (XXV Festival de Jazz del San Juan Evangelista): Dave Douglas Quintet ("Meaning And Mistery" project), with Don MacCaslin (ts), Uri Caine (Fender Rhodes), James Genus (b) and Clarence Penn (d).

Just got these Black&Blue CDs in the mail: Broadway (Irvin Stokes) Sneakin' Around (Helen Humes) Scufflin' (Harold Ashby) Kansas City Memories ( Jay McShann, Milt Buckner) Cat Speaks (Cat Anderson) Gettin' In The Groove (Panama Francis) Tenor Abrupt (Arnett Cobb, Guy Lafitte) Just You, Just Me. (Earl Hines, Harry Edison)

A bit late but... ¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, BROWNIE! (sorry, been away from my computer this weekend and missed your birthday!)

In accordance with this, my first post was also pretty tame! Yes, it seems as it is under construction, with more contents coming.

Another CD has just been announced on their website: DGF 62 Memphis Jug Band - The complete Vocalion & Okeh recordings plus unissued Victor tests, vol.4

Hey Dan, fastest trigger gets it all! Other very recommended Black&Blue titles, though not in this offer, are the Joe Turners ("Joe´s back in town" and "Poor butterfly") and the Johnny Guarnieri .

... and 20´s, 30´s even first!... unless that, in spite of good remastering, you can´t stand that "early days" sound.

Thanks for the hint, Dan. Just ordered: Broadway (Irvin Stokes) Sneakin' Around (Helen Humes) Scufflin' (Harold Ashby) Kansas City Memories ( Jay McShann, Milt Buckner) Cat Speaks (Cat Anderson) Gettin' In The Groove (Panama Francis) Tenor Abrupt (Arnett Cobb, Guy Lafitte) Just You, Just Me. (Earl Hines, Harry Edison)

List of EMI reissues on the Great Jazz Vocals collection

Just bought Jon Hendricks' "A good git-together" for €7. Was tempted to pick the Dakota Stanton and the Chris Connors form the same "The Great Jazz Vocal Collection" series, but I resisted... for now!

I couldn´t agree more. "Exciting" is a very good adjective for Little Jazz´s music.
