I'm on a roll!

The Milcho Leviev Quartet - Blues for the Fisherman (Mole Jazz LP)

Over the last 12 months or so, the two biggest new-to-me discoveries have probably been Clare Fischer and David Friedman.

Dexter Gordon Trio - Lullaby for a Monster (SteepleChase) with Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen & Alex Riel Phew! Good!

Just ordered these two LPs: Frank Foster & the Loud Minority - Shiny Stockings (Denon) Anthony Davis Quartet - Song for the Old World (India Navigation)

For sure. NP: Kenny Barron Trio with Buster Williams & Ben Riley - Green Chimneys (Criss Cross)

Anthony Davis - Lady of the Mirrors (India Navigation)

Gene Ammons - The Gene Ammons Story: The 78 Era (Prestige)

Michael Howell - Alone (Catalyst)

George Lewis & His New Orleans Stompers (Blue Note)

Yep. That's why the picture below is called Capitol Hill: But I could see how someone might want to pun on the word capitol by using the capital instead -- particularly if they were trying to make some comment about money and power, as in the definition below from the dictionary: 4: of or relating to capital (see 3capital); especially : relating to or being assets that add to the long-term net worth of a corporation capital improvements

Did they intentionally misspell Capital Hill??? Unless they're trying to make a pun about money, the correct spelling should be Capitol Hill.

Wonderful record! For the fourth day in a row: Horace Parlan Quintet - Frank-ly Speaking (SteepleChase) Interesting compositions plus a strong cast of players, all of whom swing like mad. What's not to like?!?!?

Now listening via YouTube: Enrico Pieranunzi - Jazz A Confronto 24 (Horo) Pieranunzi's first record as a leader. From 1975.

Sorry to hear this sad news. R.I.P.

Zoot Sims - For Lady Day (Pablo)

Many thanks, xybert! Now listening to more Frank Foster: Frank Foster and the Loud Minority Band - Well Water (Piadrum) This is superb.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've not heard the Denon recording, but I intend to get it!

NP: Frank Foster - "The Frank Foster Non-Electric Company" (EPM Musique) Recorded in Belgian nightclub in 1979 -- with Ted Dunbar (g); Mickey Tucker (p); Earl May (b); Billy Hart (d). Nice opportunity to hear Foster stretch out in a small-group context. This music is available for streaming via amazon prime under the title Shiny Stockings: BTW: Don't confuse this music with a Denon release called Shiny Stockings. The title is the same, but the recordings are different.

Tremendous music. The two LPs coupled on this CD are Brown's very best, imho. They way that all of those guys are leaning in, hanging on Bird's every word, vaguely reminds me this famous picture of JRM with the Red Hot Peppers:

Roland Hanna - Bird Tracks: Remembering Charlie Parker (Progressive) Remarkable solo-piano transformations of familiar tunes associated with Bird.

Good stuff!

Jim Hall - Live (A&M Horizon) A quiet masterpiece -- and a desert-island pick for this listener.

Frank Wess - Tryin' to Make My Blues Turn Green (Concord)

Woohoo. Preach it, brother! NP: Terumasa Hino - Taro's Mood (Enja)
