I've managed to collect duplicates of these three CDs: BMG club edition Free shipping to any U.S. home. PM me if you'd like one or more of them.

Oh man! What a bummer!

Kevin, I'll take them!

Next up: V.A. - The Sound of Jazz (Columbia, rec. 1957)

Now on my turntable: Laurindo Almeida, Salli Terri, a.o. – Duets with the Spanish Guitar, Album 3 (Angel) originally released as For My True Love (Capitol, 1959) All three volumes in this series are superb.

Ernie Watts - Unity (JVC, 1995) with Geri Allen (p), Steve Swallow (el b), Eddie Gomez (b), and Jack DeJohnette (d) This is excellent.

Some new-to-me Italian jazz on a sunny Monday morning: Pietro Tonolo - Disguise (Splasc(H), 1997)

Simon Nabatov Trio - Tough Customer (Enja, 1993)

As a kid, I remember seeing Ella on a daytime talk show -- Merv Griffin or maybe Dinah Shore -- while I was visiting my grandparents. This would've been sometime in the (mid?) Seventies. I recall how much my grandmother enjoyed Ella's scatting. I'd guess I was six years old or so, and I'd never seen or heard anyone scat before. A brief snippet of a memory. But vivid.

Disc 1

This just arrived in the mail: Pierre Dørge & New Jungle Orchestra - Music from the Danish Jungle (Dacapo DK, 1996)

This again:

Prompted by another thread: Dave Holland Big Band - What Goes Around (ECM, 2002)

I haven't . . . but I'd be interested in taking a look. I'd expect it to be (more or less) hagiographic. But that's O.K.

My picks:

Pat Metheny - Trio 99→00 (Warner Bros, 2000) with Larry Grenadier and Bill Stewart

The Larry Goldings Trio - Moonbird (Palmetto, 1999)

Eddie Harris - There Was a Time: Echo of Harlem (Enja, 1990)
