Ditto. Increasingly I listen off streaming services, but still buy CDs and LPs - almost no downloads. I am not sure why, quite honestly. Some sort of attachment to the physical product, which of course is still pretty cool with vinyl - and many of the really well done jazz reissues.

Dusty Groove shipped both the Bobby Hutcherson and Jackie McLean yesterday.

Very nice date - with Freddie Hubbard.

Surprised nobody has noticed, but whoever owns Mainstream is putting out many, many titles on their Bandcamp site. You can buy a digital version (multiple flavors including FLAC) for $8.00. Pretty reasonable. I signed up a few weeks ago and every 2-3 days I receive an email with new titles they have released. They also have the Time stuff. https://mainstreamrecords.bandcamp.com/artists

Gerald Clayton - Live at the Village Vanguard is a real winner. Logan Richardson and Walter Smith III tear it up. I love the cover art as well.

Wait until a few of the copies show up on ebay ...

Bought a copy at amazon and am listening on their platform before the CD arrives. It is also on Spotify and Apple Music. WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!!

Yeah baby, that’s a good one!

Midnight Creeper

Not to derail a fascinating discussion, but bought this one twice. PM me if interested. I will charge $4 for S&H, US only. Nothing for the CD.

This one is coming at the end of July. Not sure if this has been out before - the details are on the Sleepy Night website. Edit - well, I can’t upload the image from my phone, but it is the Lost Septet. Album cover is a painting of the back cover of BB.

Nice comprehensive review CJ!! The Bastards have this available on CD and vinyl. How does this go unreleased over the last 35 years? Was it once “rejected?” Rhetorical question as it is out now!

I was probably too vauge ... just longing for the old brick and mortar experience in the Covid world and this old haunt came to mind. Thanks for the link Tom - never saw it!

Up just because ... the Kansas City guys will know why ...

There is a 2nd track available for listening on Apple Music (and presumably Spotify and the others), Hipsippy Blues.

Been listening to this set quite a bit lately. Art is on fire throughout. Great sound too.

Forthcoming Mosaic set?

The album is up in Apple Music, with one tune available for listening (“Quick Trip”). Nice tune, nice Lee solo.

My favorites were in NYC (by Union Square and by Lincoln Center) and San Francisco (the city and Mountain View). I saw Pete Townsend one night at 11:45 at the Lincoln Center store. At every one of those stores I stocked up mightily on Japanese Blue Note CDs, most of which had not been released in the US. I used to *love* going there!

Tina Brooks - “The Waiting Game”

Wow, seems way too young, both to have passed and to have suffered from dementia. RIP and condolences to his family, friends and fans.

My boyhood idol. RIP #15.
