Next up: The Super Jazz Trio - The Standard (Baystate/Sony JP, rec. 1980) with Tommy Flanagan, Reggie Workman, and Joe Chambers Super indeed.

More Harold Land: and

Yeah, I can pump the brakes on the buying for a while. I've got plenty of new-to-me stuff to dig into. So what did YOU order from Honest Jon's??? Out with it! Don't be shy.

Sure thing.

That would be philadelphiamusic. https://www.discogs.com/seller/philadelphiamusic/profile?sort=listed%2Cdesc&limit=250&q=Half+Off+-+Marked+for+Removal Note: Only some inventory is half off. About 1,700 jazz CDs.

One of my favorite Discogs vendors is having a half-off sale on selected inventory. . . . and I kinda went bananas. I just ordered 40 CDs. The crazy thing about it is that my total cost -- for FORTY discs -- is just $73.40 plus shipping & tax. And it's good stuff too.

and Two doozies. That looks fun!

Larry Willis.

More Larry Willis. This time with Jerry Gonzalez & the Fort Apache Band: Pensativo (Milestone, 1995)

Now: Gorgeous music with several outstanding compositions by Willis. One of his best albums, I think. Earlier today: Disc 4 - Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra (mostly)

Wow! Great find for sure! I'd love to have that set.

Very cool!

Nancy Harrow - You're Nearer - with Sir Roland Hanna & Special Guest Bob Brookmeyer (rec. 1986) Baldwin Street CD reissue of an LP originally released on Tono Records, Canada

Ronnie Cuber sits in on one cut. I wish he'd stayed for more. The bari-sax & flute combo sounds great.

Now playing: Art Pepper - San Francisco Samba: Live at Keystone Korner (Contemporary, rec. 1977) with George Cables, Michael Formanek, and Eddie Marshall

That Johansson post makes me think that there must have been some propagandistic "tractor music" written during the days of the Soviet Union. These posters (and many others like them) testify to the importance of tractors in the Soviet scheme of things: Also -- if I recall correctly -- some of the most brutal fighting during the Battle of Stalingrad was in and around a tractor factory.

Milton Nascimento - Milton (A&M, 1976) with: - Milton Nascimento – guitar, vocals, arranger - Toninho Horta – electric guitar - Wayne Shorter – soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone - Raul De Souza – trombone - Herbie Hancock – piano - Hugo Fattoruso – piano, electric organ - Novelli – double bass - Roberto Silva – drums, percussion - Laudir De Oliveira – percussion I think this is a masterpiece, beyond category.

Oh yes, that's brilliant too.

Now: KD's best? I think so. Last night: Disc 1: Such a superb compilation. It's terrific to hear Louis in so many contexts -- with different bands (King Oliver, Clarence Williams, Fletcher Henderson, his own Hot Five) and backing various singers (Maggie Jones, Bessie Smith, "Chippie" Hill). . . . Armstrong's comprehensive sets are essential, of course. But I feel like the variety here makes for an experience that's more like spinning a (big!) stack of 78s. Hawes at the top of his game!
