Absolutely. The music on this set is sublime! To me, Ellington is the greatest of them all. Wow. That sounds great, Buddha. I'm going to have to check that out. You can hardly go wrong with a Buster Williams / Freddie Waits rhythm section!

The Complete 1932-1940 Brunswick, Columbia and Master Recordings of Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra Disc 1

Catalyst - Perception (Muse) I really enjoy the music these guys made. As reissued on:

Funny. Our tastes run along similiar lines. That's my other favorite.

One of the best DSCH 8th recordings, imho.

I'm with you, Kevin. Maybe we're dinosaurs -- but I still want the thing I can hold in my hands.

I remember hearing it a couple times many years ago. It never really knocked me out. Then again, it's been a long while. Let us know what you think after you've had an opportunity to give it a listen or two.

Both terrific.

Kenny Werner - The Melody (Pirouet) with Johannes Weidenmueller & Ari Hoenig

Unique and brilliant.

Mike Richmond & Andy LaVerne - For Us (SteepleChase, 1978)

Michel Legrand and Friends (RCA Gryphon) with Randy Brecker, Phil Woods, Joe Beck, Ron Carter, and Grady Tate

I'm glad you're enjoying the music, Oliver.

Teddy Wilson - Striding After Fats: A Tribute to Thomas Fats Waller (Black Lion LP)

NP: Michel Petrucciani / Ron McClure - Cold Blues (Owl LP) I really enjoy the piano/bass format. No surprise that this one is excellent, given the participants. . . . And the imported French vinyl sounds very nice. Earlier: Duke Pearson Nonet - Honeybuns (Atlantic/Collectables) Love the "little big band" sound on this record. Pearson was a fine composer -- and an even better arranger, imho.

Larry Coryell - Standing Ovation (Mood Records)

So true!!! ESPECIALLY if it was recorded in the 1970s!!! NP: I was sorry to hear that Pirouet had suspended operations recently. Hopefully, it's only temporary.

Superb!

Giving to this new-to-me LP a second spin: Bob Mover - S/T (Vanguard) Very nice. Earlier: Scott Colley with Chris Potter & Bill Stewart - This Place (SteepleChase) Wonderful.

Dudu Pukwana - Diamond Express (Freedom, rec. 1975) with Mongezi Feza, Louis Moholo, et al
