  1. More Hutch: and
  2. 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!
  3. Disc 1 - originally released as Good Bait on Landmark Earlier: Superb.
  4. Benny Carter & Dizzy Gillespie - Carter, Gillespie, Inc. (Pablo)
  5. Duke Ellington - The Private Collection: Volume Six, Dance Dates, California, 1958 (Saja)
  6. I love this record.
  7. I agree 100%, Allen. "Harmonic impatience." Well put.
  8. I've never warmed to Gulda's jazz playing, but I think his classical recordings are very special indeed. One particular favorite: Gulda's recordings of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier are some of the best I've ever heard. (I'm partial to the set that he originally recorded for MPS, which was subsequently reissued by Philips.)
  9. Archie Shepp - Montreux Two (Arista Freedom)
  10. Buddy Tate & the Muse All Stars - Live at Sandy's (Muse) Tate's companion album from this gig, Hard Blowin', is very fine. But I think this one is even better. Lots of credit goes to the primo rhythm section.
  11. Last night & this morning: While these LPs aren't exactly "top-shelf" Ellington, I still really enjoy them. It's good fun to hear these pop tunes being given the Ducal treatment.
  12. Rodney Jones - Articulation (Timeless)
  13. Good one! I need to pull that out that LP & give it a spin. It's been a while.
  14. Duke Ellington - The Private Collection, Vol. 7: Studio Sessions, 1957 & 1962 (Saja / Atlantic) Paul Gonsalves & Clark Terry are in the spotlight on many of these cuts. To this listener, that's always a good thing.
  15. Louis Armstrong - European Concert Recordings by Ambassador Satch (Columbia/Legacy)
  16. A couple Charles Earland classics: Black Talk! (Prestige/OJC, rec. 1969) Black Drops (Prestige/OJC, rec. 1970)
  17. I love that one too!
  18. Yes, a fantastic performance. I think I'd award the blue ribbon to Dex for his playing on "Body & Soul." He makes that old warhorse sound fresh. NP: Thelonious Monk - Paris 1969 (Blue Note) The quartet is rounded out by Charlie Rouse and two sidemen with whom I'm unfamiliar: Nate Hygelund (b) and Paris Wright (d).
  19. Jaki Byard - There'll Be Some Changes Made (Muse) This LP has been on my radar since I went on a big Byard bender several years ago. I finally got around to ordering it today.
