Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time and La La La La La Means I Love You are classics forever.

I use Apple Music but utilize my physical collection most of the time. I've found Apple Music useful as it allows me to stream playlists etc. from my Itunes throughout my house-an essential feature for me.

I fear that I lack Mr. Felser's unfailing good judgement. I too own and really like those Freddie Hubbard Blue Note and Impulse! records, and doubt that collating them and adding an essay will affect my enjoyment and understanding of them. The "improved sound" and "all in one place" arguments are not as convincing as they were before I purchased the more recent Hank Mobley box or Joe Henderson sets. Strangely, I will, in all likelihood, purchase this collection.

I picked up Tribute to Jack Johnson when I was 16-it was the first "jazz" record I ever dug from the moment the needle hit the groove. Michael Henderson was right on time for me.

Earlier today:
Kenny Clarke's Sextet - Plays André Hodeir (rec. 1956, Gitanes Jazz Productions/"Jazz In Paris" series)
The title is misleading because only three of the twelve selections are Hodeir compositions; even so, the music's good. Aside from Clarke, the main draw is Martial Solal. He plays on all but two cuts.
This is a great record...

I’ve been wanting to do a Night Lights Mel Powell show for years. It’s another one I need to get to sooner rather than later—starting to sink in more and more that my professional career, not to mention life, will not be infinite after all! It will focus primarily on his time with Goodman, his 1940s leader dates, and the mid-1950s Vanguard sessions.
EDIT: well whaddaya know, next February 12 will be Mel Powell’s centennial. I do believe the time to do a show has arrived!4 hours ago, ghost of miles said:I’ve been wanting to do a Night Lights Mel Powell show for years.

This show was right on time for me as I am very interested in hearing the Mel Powell contributions. Thanks.

Tony Williams "The Story of Neptune"
Been listening to this particular Tony Williams group all week-it all started with listening to Mulgrew Miller.
-
The Hot 5's and many of the Hot 7's (Discs 1 and most of 2).

Outstanding work, sir.
-
Finding the complete Verve recordings of Bud Powell to be exactly the correct choice-a disc a day-this week.

Time traveling again
Lots of good Jabbo Smith, but for some reason, I am particularly fond of Monette Moore's reading of Don't You Leave Me Here.

I'd buy a few discs of just Ellington playing the piano in this studio at this session. Such great sound, and such interesting pianism.
Duke Ellington "Indigos" Columbia/Impex Records gold cd
In my youth it was common for drug stores, grocery stores, etc to have a small selection lp's for sale. Along with Mingus Ah Um, Ellington Indigos was seemingly omnipresent in these small clusters of record offerings. I, of course, purchased it, but failed to understand it for many, many years. Luckily I have a copy now as it is strangely challenging to find in the digital domain.

I really like trolling through So What Are You Listening To Now as I am often reminded of great records that I need to reinvestigate. This one, on the other hand, I knew nothing about, and it definitely looks like one I need to know.

I honestly don't think there's a Mosaic set quite like this one as far as material and scope. One that is far less complete but that is somewhat similar in nature is the EMI compilation "The Aladdin Records Story":

Now there's one from which I definitely got my money's worth! Jumpin' Like Mad also worked for me big time-and it does have a Lester Aladdin track.

Would love to hear more Coleman & Jojouka.
My old friend Bob Palmer used to talk about this a bit...
He had also had a hand in a film that documented Randy Weston's group going to Morocco to play with the Master Musicians of Jojouka. It was a striking film which was apparently rejected by whoever had commissioned it. I managed to view a VHS copy...

Damn, this is a good book. Really seems to capture the vibe of 1969, at least from the vantage point of being on the road with the Stones--a road that's leading to Altamont:
Stanley Booth is a Memphian and, I believe, lives in my neighborhood. He has a collection about Memphis musicians called Rhythm Oil that I can hardly recommend highly enough.

I have an interview disc like this for Joe Henderson as a promotion for one of his Verve records.

This would work for me on every level.
