Good stuff!

Inspired by soulpope's post above, I'm now playing the MJQ's At Music Inn with Jimmy Giuffre. I have the Atlantic Jazzlore series LP, as below: This was the first MJQ record I ever bought. Magnificent Duke.

Today's listening (so far): Still strange (at times) and wonderful, pointing very much in the direction of an imaginary Weather Report without Joe Zawinul. As funky as the "Second Great Quintet" got, no? Anything with Herbie and Hutch together is special.

Earlier today:

Duke was a pitch man for Olivetti typewriters in the late-60s. I'm fairly sure that this photo is from one of their advertisements.

Two outstanding trio recordings from Enrico Pieranunzi: and

Quest [Dave Liebman, Richie Beirach, Ron McClure, Billy Hart] - Live in Hamburg, August 6 & 7, 2007 from German radio broadcasts I dig it too.
