Duke Ellington - Cornell University (MusicMasters Jazz) Concert recordings from 1948

Continuing my recent Eddie Harris kick. Eddie Harris - Greater Than the Sum of His Parts (32 Jazz) Disc 2 - originally released as The Tender Storm and Silver Cycles What do you think of this CD, jazzbo? I have several of Da Fonseca's recordings, and I've enjoyed all of them. So I'm betting this one is good too.

More Duke. Cootie!!! He comes ROARING out of the gate!

Duke today. and Superb.

I didn't even know that these existed. But they look VERY cool. What years do your two volumes cover?

and

chewy - the images that you included in your original post aren't appearing. (Or they aren't appearing to me, at least.)

Now spinning: Eddie Harris - Black Sax (GNP Crescendo) 2-LP compilation of music originally released on Vee Jay.

I agree! It's a hidden gem. ... It might even show up on a certain 70s Jazz blog come next year.

John Lee & Gerry Brown - Bamboo Madness (Limetree) Originally released in 1974 as Infinite Jones on Chris Hinze's Keytone Records label.

with Frank Kimbrough, Rufus Reid, and Matt Wilson

What is the "FCD series"?

That Mundell Lowe looks good, chewy. A couple LPs I've been spinning this evening:

Don Pullen - Evidence of Things Unseen (Black Saint, 1984) Beautiful.

Now spinning: Anthony Davis - Lady of the Mirrors (India Navigation, 1980) Gripping solo piano that owes as much to Scriabin & Bartok as it does to jazz. I suppose any artist who stakes out territory in the no-man's land between classical and jazz is unlikely to be lionized by followers of either genre and can expect to be regarded as "neither fish nor fowl." ... That's a shame because Davis has made some powerful music that deserves to be more well-known.

David Murray Quartet + 1 - Fast Life (DIW/Columbia) with John Hicks, Ray Drummond, and Idris Muhammad. Branford Marsalis also sits in on 2 of the 6 cuts.

with Carter Jefferson (ts,ss), Onaje Allan Gumbs (p), Clint Houston (b), and Victor Lewis (d)

I'm going to see Kenny Barron next month too -- at Spivey Hall. NP: Lester Bowie - Rope-a-Dope (Muse, 1976)

Sweets with Jaws and a rock-solid rhythm section.
