Whhhaaaaaattttt?!?!?!?! Joe Henderson on Blue Note or Joe Henderson on Milestone? Studio. Since most of my favorite Mingus records are studio: - Pithecanthropus Erectus - Blues and Roots - Oh Yeah - Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus - Mingus Dynasty - Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music - Changes I & Changes II The downside: No Antibes and nothing from the '64 tour.

and

I enjoyed that too.

Dodds Airto Moreira or Dom Um Romão?

Now getting a second spin in a row: The more I listen to this LP, the more I like it. Always a good sign. Oh yeah.

As they say down in New Orleans, "True dat!"

Next up: Gene Ammons - Free Again (Prestige, 1972) with arrangements by Bobby Bryant

Now spinning: Hannibal Marvin Peterson - Hannibal (MPS, 1975) Thanks felser!

A double-shot of Dinah Washington: and Yes indeed.

More Ramsey Lewis: and

Happy 25th Anniversary, Gheorghe! I just ordered these CDs & LPs through a favorite Discogs reseller: Not a bad haul for $20 (including shipping)!

and Very cool. I still think you should write a memoir/autobiography, Chuck. You've been an active participant in lasting, IMPORTANT things in the history of the music. We all love hearing your anecdotes here on the forum. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to read about your life experiences in a more comprehensive form. Don't mean to pester. I'm just sayin'...

Next up:

Spinning some Nancy Wilson this afternoon:

I don't have the LP. Wish I did! I'm listening to the music from this 2-CD set that compiles Diz's three Perception albums:

Thank you, T.D.! NP:

Sounds good. I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks.

Koch CD reissue What do you think of this record, T.D.? I've thought about ordering it.

"Caravan" definitely. I know some people would be fine never hearing it again. I'm not one of those people. If I ever hosted a jazz radio program, I'd call it Jazz Caravan, and "Caravan" would be the show's theme music (of course). More specifically, Duke's 1937 version would always be the program opener, and the closing music would always feature someone else's reading of the song, a different interpretation every time. I love "Perdido" too -- as a Clark Terry-ophile, disliking it is not an option. But I don't love it nearly as much as I love "Caravan." Cootie Williams with Duke before he left Ellington to join Benny Goodman? or Cootie Williams with Duke after he returned in the early 60s?

Terrific.

I'm listening to that now too.

Now: Earlier: and
