  1. No sooner saw the email on my phone than I opened up my laptop and preordered. This one looks *really* interesting! Nice that they're offering a discount for early orders. I don't think they've done that before, have they? gregmo
  2. Some of Satch's last truly great playing on trumpet, IMHO. gregmo
  3. Disc 2. It had been too long since I enjoyed some good Toots.
  4. "Murder in Provence" on Britbox. Only three episodes, but I liked 'em. Hope there's another season. gregmo
  5. The thread on Brooks led me to listen again to this beauty.
  6. The Japanese reissued some Crown things. I have a cd of "The New Swingin' Herman Herd" by Woody Herman that I got in Japan a few years back. It was recorded in Chicago in March of 1960. I like the record. gregmo
  7. Lots of great music on those cool Woofy discs! gregmo
  8. Wild Bill was especially wonderful with Hodges on "Blues for New Orleans" from Ellington's great New Orleans Suite. I love all their collaborations. gregmo
  9. Sorry to read today that Oscar-winning actor William Hurt died at age 71. He was always interesting to watch and gave some great performances. RIP. gregmo
  10. Yep, that was the case. But I'm with Ken on that character. gregmo
  11. Disc VI with the Capitol Jazzmen. Some rare Jimmie Noone on clarinet. And of course, Big T.
  12. So very sorry to hear this. Too young. RIP. gregmo
  13. The renewal of this thread caused me to get out that Felsted box and listen to it. Lovely version of "My One and Only Love" by Hawk on disc 5. Thanks for the reminder! gregmo
  14. It's hard to go wrong with Mr. Five by Five! gregmo
  15. I agree. If anything, Ellington's piano style was one of his more original contributions. Monk certainly paid attention to him. The Armstrong bio was good. RIP. gregmo
  16. Sounds very good Chewy. Those Edison records often had excellent sound. Red Nichols recorded for Edison. I assume you have most of those? gregmo
  17. Just saw this (traveling for the holidays). I'll be interested in your take on the La Barbera book. gregmo
