  1. Ellington band members did the same thing when Dizzy Gillespie was in the band for a minute. Per Diz, guys in the trumpet section were very "territorial" about their parts. I bet the band vets thought Diz was an upstart whippersnapper -- just like they did with Elvin.
  2. I should go upstairs and go to bed -- but I'm on a roll, enjoying the music too much. NP: Cal Tjader - Tjader (Fantasy)
  3. Now: Jaki Byard - There'll Be Some Changes Made (Muse) First listen of a new-to-me LP. No surprise: Byard is magnificent. Earlier: Richard "Groove" Holmes - Jazz Milestones Series (Pacific Jazz) My LP is actually mono, not stereo.
  4. Thanks for the heads-up on this, Rooster! I haven't had a chance to listen yet -- but that line-up definitely looks enticing.
  5. Two Sonny Criss favorites: and
  6. Just came across this recently at a charity shop. Glad I did.
  7. That looks interesting.
  8. More Sir Roland: Roland Hanna & George Mraz - Sir Elf Plus One (Choice) Desert-island music. Incidentally, this CD has MUCH improved sound quality compared to the original LP issue, which was very rough. Plus two bonus tracks.
  9. Roland Hanna Trio - Time for the Dancers (Progressive) with George Mraz (b) and Richard Pratt (d) There are other pianists who I enjoy as much as Roland Hanna -- but there are none who I enjoy more.
  10. The James Moody & Hank Jones Quartet - Our Delight (IPO, rec. 2006) with Todd Coolman (b) and Adam Nussbaum (d)
  11. Fantastic. NP: Disc 1
  12. Thanks for the heads-up, ubu. I'll be ordering this as well.
  13. More Hutch: and
  14. Ken, I wish I could attend, but -- as you know -- I've got other commitments on that date. I expect that the music will be wonderful, and I hope you raise lots of $$$ for this excellent cause. Best wishes!
  15. Disc 1 - originally released as Good Bait on Landmark Earlier: Superb.
  16. Benny Carter & Dizzy Gillespie - Carter, Gillespie, Inc. (Pablo)
  17. Duke Ellington - The Private Collection: Volume Six, Dance Dates, California, 1958 (Saja)
  18. I love this record.
