Don't understand a word of it but it just swings!

I guess I just needed to hear paint being blown off of the walls today. Happy New Year!

FWIW, I used PayPal and received my confirmation almost immediately.

Ordered. Been waiting for this one since it was announced.

...and this one, too. Just in one of those moods.

This is one of my all time favorite CDs. Trust me, if you've never heard it, you'll want to. Incredible music by wonderful musicians.

I just listened to this again. Been years. Very, very good.

I guess it's a CTI thing today...

Absolutely great album. Magadini is a master and Menza SMOKES! Because, why not. Great album cover:

Oh my. Check out the 9/9/1949 issue! Bird tells DownBeat that bop isn't jazz. Great reading.

I like this almost better than I like archive. Thanks for the link!

If you are interested, there is a goldmine here. DownBeat magazine from 1937-1961 (so far). That's 585 issues to read. Great fun to look through. All from microfilm but still readable (and downloadable) if you are so inclined... https://archive.org/details/pub_down-beat?tab=collection
