Teasing the Korean

Be sure they are facing up (mark the box) and be sure they're packed tight. I moved 50+ wine boxes full of albums in a moving van several years ago and there were no issues. BTW, many wine boxes are just a centimeter or so too short in one dimension. You've got to test them out.

Spencer-Hagen Orchestra - Essence of Romance - Liberty (turquoise mono)

Art Blakey, Jazz Messengers, Thelonious Monk - Atlantic (stereo red & green label)

Herbie Hancock - Takin' Off - Blue Note (stereo DMM pressing, played in mono for improved balance).

What do you think of Tampa TP 21?

Henry Mancini - Trail of the Pink Panther - Liberty Collection of music from "Trail" and other PP films.

Horace Silver - Song for My Father - Blue Note (blue and white label, Liberty, stereo) Played in mono to improve the mix.

Roland Shaw - Themes from the James Bond Thrillers Vol. 3 - London (red label mono) Roland Shaw does a great job with Barry's spy music!

Bill Evans - Live at Montreux - Verve (stereo)

George Shearing Quintet - Lullaby of Birdland - Verve (mono) Twofer compilation of MGM sides. Sound is WAY better than it is on those MGM LPs.

I have a record by him on red vinyl that I like a lot, but I can't remember the title.

I'm trying to play at least a gig a month. So far I'm good for February through July.

Mike Pacheco - Bongo Session - Tampa TP 21 (mono) with Carlos Vidal and Shelly Manne

Howard Roberts - Goodies - Capitol (rainbow stereo)

Bill Perkins - Bossa Nova with Strings Attached - Liberty (mono)

Gene Ammons - The Soulful Moods Of... Reissued as a part of a Prestige twofer "Gentle Jug."

Get used to it!

That's a really good one!

George Shearing Quintet & Amigos - Continental Experience - MPS Quintet plus latin percussion, similar to his latin records on Capitol. Except that this is from 1975 and it's like the 60s never happened.

Miklos Rozsa - Film Score Classics, conducted by Charles Gerhardt (RCA Red Seal) A great series in terms of performances, recordings and music selection; the Herrmann an Rozsa volumes are particularly wonderful.

AFTER a day of work, I can listen to just about any genre of jazz I would listen to under any other circumstances. I'm much more selective about the music I have on when I'm at work.

Any attempt to label a genre is limiting. Still, you need words and labels to have a conversation. I understand where people are coming from, but there is no magical answer.

Chet Baker s/t - Pacific Jazz (Black label, mono). This may be a compilation. Quartet, sextet, and ensemble stuff, modern art on the cover.
