Claude Hopkins' Soliloquy -- included in that set -- is one of my desert-island discs!!!!

Thanks!

More Thelonious: Thanks for the heads-up on this album, @jazzbo. I'm a big fan of Irene Kral's singing, and I had no idea that this existed!

This again: Two-tenor combos are fun. I like how they can flex between sounding like any other small-group unit, while at other times making sounds that approximate a big band in miniature.

After enjoying Florence's "Concerts by the Sea" LP so much, I'm adding "Westlake" to my to-get list. Thanks, @jazzcorner.

Shirley Scott - Lean on Me (Cadet, 1972) with George Coleman (ts), Danny Turner (as, fl), Roland Prince (g), and Idris Muhammad (d)

Next up: Mundell Lowe - Guitar Player (Dobre, 1977) with Monty Budwig (b) and Nick Ceroli (d)

This album keeps making its way back to my turntable: Bob Florence Big Band - Live at Concerts By The Sea (Trend, 1980) It's a grower.

Back to this Herbie Nichols LP:

Yup. Good stuff.

Real Gone CD reissue

Now streaming:

Interesting. Thx for sharing.

Unlike the first Sphere LP, this second album features compositions by the band members. Yes! And this one too (from Umbria Jazz in '86): Pumpkin's Delight (Red)

Nope. It's bassist Marc Johnson.

Next up: Sphere - Flight Path (Elektra Musician, 1983) Such lovely music. Can't say enough about Buster Williams.

Now this (again):

Now playing: Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 "Choral" (Archiv Produktion, 1996) John Eliot Gardiner, Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique The Monteverdi Choir Soprano – Luba Orgonasova Mezzo – Anne Sofie Von Otter Tenor – Anthony Rolfe Johnson Bass – Gilles Cachemaille
