kh1958

Edmund Hall, Petite Fleur (United Artists) Hal Schaeffer, Ten Shades of Blues (United Artists)

Joe Farrell, On This Rock (CTI)

Count Basie, Basie Land (Verve)

Lionel Hampton, Flying Home (Verve). A curious mistake pressing, as side one is Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge, while side 2 is Lionel Hampton as advertised. Oscar Peterson, Tenderly (Verve) Erroll Garner, Serenede to Laura (Savoy)

CD from The Frog Blues and Jazz Annual No. 3.

Barney Kessel, Live at the Jazz Mill 1954 (Modern Harmonic)

Not even the Penultimate Blue Train.

I believe I have seen that thread. I haven't quite slipped that far into collector-mania--I still only buy Verves where I think I will like the music. But I do have a small stack of Prestige folk and world music Lps. For these, I've found that I generally like them.

Still, not a very common record, so not so bad, even at HPB pricing levels. Lately, I'm a bit obsessed with Norgran/Clef/Verve LPs--there's so much interesting music on the label(s), and the label seems both a lot more common than the independent jazz labels in these parts and rather underappreciated by jazz record buyers and listeners.

Lester Young, The President Plays with the Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve) Joe Wilder Quartet, Jazz from Peter Gunn (Columbia). TV theme music but Joe Wilder and Hank Jones both sound fabulous on this quartet album.

Thana Alexa, Ode to Heroes (Jazz Village)

Great--it's like finding a lost puppy or kitten a caring home (Vinyl rescue).

Johnny Hodges and Duke Ellington, Side By Side (Verve) Charlie Parker, The Fabulous Bird (Jazztone) Jimmy Smith, I'm Moving On (Blue Note) Sonny Stitt, Saxophone Supremacy (Verve)

Actually, I misspelled his name in the heading, it is Irvin, not Irwin.

If you are still interested in this record, I saw a copy today--at the HPB at Central and Beltline in Richardson (SW corner).

It's all sounds so brazen; it is amazing he would have thought he could get away with it.

Aurelio, Darandi (Stonetree Records)

One never knows until you hear it. I've had great experiences with similarly elderly musicians (Doc Cheatum, Randy Weston, Benny Waters), whereas seeing Clark Terry was a sad experience. Earlier the same day, I saw Henry Gray (ex Howlin' Wolf pianist), of a similar age, and he literally collapsed near the end of his set. It actually appeared he might be dying on stage. Fortunately, after awhile he rallied and walked off with assistance.

I saw Lee Konitz in early May of 2017 at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was not at all as described above. He soloed on every song and played beautifully. In fact, the sheer beauty of his alto sound was rather stunning. I would say his solos were not of extreme length (he was 89 at the time)--so it's not like hearing a performance of Motion--but he did ample playing in an hour long set. Also, he did hum/sing in addition to playing alto sax, which was a bit odd, but I didn't find I minded it too much. I would definitely attend another performance by him, if presented with the chance.
