Today only, a pseudo box set sale on buying both of Archeophone's two great releases, King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band and the Complete Wolverines. http://www.archeophone.com/product_info.php?products_id=117

That is very funny! A blogger's guide to jazz club restrooms: http://www.jazztoilet.com

Some fine saxophone playing in progress tonight, with Melissa Aldana, Pablo Menares (bass), Francisco Mela (drums), and Glenn Zaleski (piano).

In today's mail came, Bobby Previte and So Percussion--Terminals, a full year after the funding campaign, and also Dave Burrell/Steve Swell--Turning Point (No Business), very quickly arrived all the way from Lithuania, and finally, Albert King, Live in the 70s (Rockbeat).

I believe this release was authorized by Horace Silver (it was in the works prior to his death). At least, that's what the liner notes lead one to believe.

I have it (dustygroove has been selling it); it is good and well recorded also.

Later in the week, Melissa Aldana and the Crash Trio (Wednesday) and James Weidman (Friday).

Tonight, the Ari Hoenig Quartet--with Gilad Hekselman on guitar.

Miles Davis, Enigma (Blue Note 10 inch), and Jimmy Smith, At the Club Baby Grand (Blue Note mono, NY USA/Lexington).

Grant Green, Grandstand (Blue Note mono NY USA)

Back tonight for some more live Mark Whitfield.

Don Patterson with Sonny Stitt, Brothers 4 (Prestige), and The Trio, Walter Norris, Hal Gaylor and Billy Bean (Riverside mono).

Setting up right now, Mark Whitfield Family Band.

The Code did work for me today. A pretty good deal on the Scott LaFaro release ($9) and the Charles Lloyd ($14).

I only have the Junior Mance/David Newman on LP, and it's quite good. I'm definitely interested in this set.

Tonight, the elegant pianist Simona Premazzi, leading a quartet including Dayna Stephens and Ugonna Ukegwo.

Except the Code doesn't seem to work today.

Mel Brown, I'd Rather Suck My Thumb (Impulse)

At the Resonance website, 40% off sale, with Promo Code BFS2014 through December 1.

I saw him at Mezzrow in October in a duo with bassist John Webber--his playing was strong.

Hamilton, 50 points.

The Genius of Art Tatum #2 (Verve/Clef trumpet label). Price sticker from Marshall Field & Company, at $4.98.

Charlie Patton, Prayer of Death, parts 1 and 2, then Jelly Roll Morton, Deadman Blues, takes 1 and 2--that's 12 minutes--how about an encore? The King Oliver version of Deadman Blues?
