Teasing the Korean

Would Ramsey Lewis fall into this category?

I recently learned that most of the circulating versions of "Riddle of the Papawhos" by Danny Staton were transferred at the wrong speed. Here it is at the correct speed.

I'm more concerned about the inactive trombonists, guys who really need to hit the gym, who spend too much time on the couch eating junk food. I hate to see a potentially lucrative jazz career get cut short because of poor dietary choices and ineffective exercise regimens. Are there any inactive trombonists in need of an intervention?

A bit early? A bit early??? I've been listening to Halloween music since October 1st!

Various - Monstrous Movie Music (compilation)

Bernard Herrmann - Sisters It is amazing that so late in his career, Herrmann did such great and varied scores as Sisters, Obsession, It's Alive and Taxi Driver.

Precisely!

That's the one. Either way, it's pretty jarring to go from 40 minutes of eastern-tinged grooves to dixieland. I burned my own CD with both of the Indo Jazz albums on one disc. Collectibles also reissued four Les Baxter Reprise albums in the form of two twofers. There were two exotica albums and two schmaltzy albums. What did Collectibles do? They paired each of the two exotica albums with one of the schmaltzy albums.

I'll look for this on the InterTubes! NP: Bernard Herrmann - The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Vol. 1

Dr. Duckworth, I listened to your show today. Thank you, it was great! Setting aside the Halloween content - which was perfect - I honestly don't listen to much jazz from this era, so it was a refreshing change. I loved the Ellington, Nat Cole, Emmett Miller, and Billie Holiday. The audio on some of those tunes was much better than I would have expected, and I was listening only on computer speakers. Whenever I hear younger Louis Armstrong sing, I am always amazed at how much he sounds like Louis Prima, or vice-versa, really. And I'm jealous that you are in Memphis. I am overdue for a visit!

Not as bad as Collectibles, who paired one of the Harriott/Mayer Indo Jazz albums with a dixieland album!!!

Well, check out the album, and you'll hear what I mean. Many of the more pop/jazz-oriented MPS albums from this period have that sound!

Yeah. The closest I've seen were the two Vogue box sets that were very cheap when new. They've since gone up in price.

Well, the audience for this stuff isn't getting any younger.

If jazz were classical music, there would be a cheap CD box set bundling all those Prestige All Stars albums.

That is a pretty great collection! Luckily for me, my vinyl-buying days are for the most part finished. But I will be interested to see what some of these go for.

I thought I had unloaded this album ages ago, but there it was, filed under "Q" for "quintet." And all this time I'd been looking in the Herbie and Wayne sections! Will have to revisit!

This is in my massive jazz-LPs-that-need-to-be-cleaned section. I just pulled this out and will spin this weekend!

I consider "various artists" albums as compilations, including multiple artists/groups recorded at multiple sessions. I would never file an album recorded by a single group at a single session in various artists. But that's just me. Albums should be filed where you will find them. I may file a single artist in multiple sections, depending on the nature of the music.

I file these kinds of albums where I will remember to find them. All Night Long was later reissued under Kenny Burrell and also Kenny Burrell/Donald Byrd. I file it under Burrell, because that is who I think of, and Burrell and Byrd are close enough in the alphabet. Jazz Heat, Bongo Beat by the Latin Jazz All-Stars is filed under Buddy Collette, because that is whom I associate with this album.
