What are your thoughts on the Dolphy biography, @Ken Dryden? Is it good?

It's not a compilation. It's a studio album from circa 1970. Good stuff! 👍

Do it, Jim !!!

This again:

The Prophetic Herbie Nichols, Vols. 1 & 2

Next up: Randy Weston - How High the Moon (Biograph, rec. 1956) originally released on the Dawn label as The Modern Art of Jazz

Speaking of Dusty Groove, they have several LimeTree label CDs on sale. Most are $4.99. I ordered these two: and The latter disc, Bamboo Madness, is an MP3 to CD upgrade. Y'all remember emusic.com?!? The two Great Jazz Trio titles and the Ben Webster set are also easily recommendable.

Norma Winstone - Somewhere Called Home (ECM, 1987) First spin of this new-to-me LP.

Yes indeed.

Nice! Thanks for the heads-up, @mjzee.
