Picked this up yesterday at Wax n Facts, a local shop. Both the vinyl & cover are pristine! Dizzy Gillespie, J.J. Johnson, Gunther Schuller - Perceptions (Verve)

Again today:

Cedar Walton with Special Guest Abbey Lincoln - The Maestro (Muse/32 Jazz) The maestro referred to in the title of this CD is Duke Ellington. ...But Cedar was a maestro too!

I think the vinyl issue was a 2-LP set. I have it on a single CD, reissued by Picap. Originally, I think it was on Spanish RCA.

I like Jordi Sabatés. I'd especially recommend this recording:

Disc 1

Dizzy Gillespie - Portrait of Jenny (Perception) Count Basie & Dizzy Gillespie - The Gifted Ones (Pablo / OJC)

Mary Lou Williams - Zoning (Smithsonian Folkways, rec. 1974) Originally released on Williams' own label, Mary Records.

Great! And the "extra" music is EVEN BETTER than the super-low price.

Fantastic Rouse! A terrific CD!

Jerry Gonzalez - Ya Yo Me Curé (American Clavé / Pangea, rec. 1979) with Papo Vázquez (tb), Steve Turre (tb), Hilton Ruiz (p), Andy Gonzalez (b), and other Latin Jazz heavies

The Inimitable Teddy Edwards (Xanadu/Elemental) I finally plopped for this CD reissue. WONDERFUL music and excellent sonics.

Thanks for sharing the news, EKE BBB.

Very dismaying to hear this news. I wish EC nothing but the best of outcomes and a speedy, full recovery.

Dizzy Gillespie & Lalo Schifrin - The New Continent (Limelight) Dizzy Gillespie & the Mitchell-Ruff Duo - S/T (Mainstream)

PM sent on the Pieranunzi Plays Morricone CD.

chewy, I stumbled on this LP -- still sealed -- in a local shop a few months back. The music is very good, although I must say that it's a bit odd to hear Brubeck with such a "heavy," Coltrane-ish player as Jerry Bergonzi. After years of listening to lighter-toned players like Desmond and Mulligan with Brubeck, Bergonzi is quite a contrast. Not bad. Just very different. In any case, there was a CD issue of this music. Here it is on amazon.com. BTW: Have you found the plastic inner-liners on Concord releases to be destructive to the LPs? If so, how? I have quite a few Concord LPs with the plastic inner liners, and I've never noticed problems with them.

Still groovin' to Dizzy this morning: The Verve/Philips Dizzy Gillespie Small Group Sessions (Mosaic) Disc 1 Good one!

Now back to Diz: Dizzy Gillespie - At Newport (Verve)

Beck - Sea Change (Geffen)
