On a bit of an Oregon kick lately: Those three trio records on Red are excellent. 👍

First listen -- via YT. Interesting. Michael Gibbs - Tanglewood 63 (Deram)

Richie Beirach - Common Heart (Owl)

Clark Terry-Bobby Brookmeyer Quintet - Straight No Chaser (Mainstream)

Great Jay McShann! Earlier: Chico O'Farrill - Heart of a Legend (Milestone, 1999)

NP: Oregon - Distant Hills (Vanguard) Beautiful.

Ben Webster - At the Renaissance (Contemporary) with Jimmy Rowles, Jim Hall, Red Mitchell and Frank Butler Sublime Ben with an inspired band.

I just checked discogs. Looks like the music was issued digitally one time -- on a Vogue/Savoy CD in France: There's no mention of a Muse CD issue. Probably for the reason you said. There's no shortage of post-Little Theater/"comeback" recordings.

Anthony Cox - Dark Metals (Antilles) with Dewey Redman, Mike Cain and Billy Higgins and Richie Beirach / Jeremy Steig - Leaving (Storyville) Originally released on the Trio label in Japan

Richie Beirach - Complete Solo Concert 1981 (P.J.L.) and The David Berkman Quartet - Start Here... Finish There (Palmetto)

Great! Enjoy!

Tim Berne's Bloodcount - Low Life: The Paris Concert 1 (Winter & Winter) Oregon - Always, Never, and Forever (Intuition) To all the dads out there, "Happy Father's Day."

Anthony Wilson - Adult Themes (Mama, 1999) Nice work from Gerald's son.

Marc Johnson's Right Brain Patrol - Magic Labyrinth (JMT, 1995) with Wolfgang Muthspiel (g) and Arto Tuncboyaciyan (perc, vo) Wonderful.

Al Haig with Jamil Nasser - Interplay (SeaBreeze, 1976)

If you've enjoyed the other two, I don't think you'd regret it. 👍

Joanne Brackeen - Fi-Fi Goes to Heaven (Concord)

Sonny Rollins - Don't Stop the Carnival (Milestone)

Art Farmer - Something to Live For: The Music of Billy Strayhorn (Contemporary)

and Exquisite, uncategorizable music. I'm going to see Beirach with Dave Liebman in NYC in September. I can't wait!

That Joe Hen box is a treasure trove! His Milestone years are tremendously under-appreciated, IMO. And that Clare Fischer big band disc is sweet too.

On 5 of the 7 cuts: Jimmy Owens!!!

From a lunchtime record store run earlier today. All vinyl. Earl Hines - The Legendary Little Theater Concert of 1964, Vols. 1 & 2 (Muse) Joanne Brackeen - Fi-Fi Goes to Heaven (Concord) Art Farmer - Something to Live For: The Music of Billy Strayhorn (Contemporary) I already have this music as MP3 downloads, but I couldn't resist the super-clean vinyl. Sonny Rollins - Don't Stop the Carnival (Milestone) Hank Crawford - Roadhouse Symphony (Milestone) Lekeu: Sonate; Debussy: Sonate; Ravel: Tzigane / Augustin Dumay & Jean-Philippe Collard (La Voix de Son Maître) All really good deals too.
