His newest one. Live at Smalls, is good.

Not only is it hot, but Oprah is going to be just a block from my office tomorrow.

Thanks very much!

John Gilmore's solo on Dancing Shadows is a personal favorite.

This sure was an excellent recommendation. Analog Africa has another compilation coming out in a few weeks, Afro-Beat Airways, volume 2. http://soundcolourvibration.com/2013/08/10/analog-africa-afrobeat-airwaves-2/

Eric Dolphy in Europe, Volume 1 (Prestige, blue label mono), and The Charlie Parker Story No. 3 (Verve).

Fats Navarro, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis--Trumpet Giants (Prestige/New Jazz mono). Cedar Walton--The Electric Boogaloo Song (Prestige)

Have a merry birthday!

It was a thrill seeing Cedar Walton at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival with the Timeless All Stars, and seeing him at the Caravan of Dreams playing with David Newman.

Kenny Burrell and John Coltrane (New Jazz), and Clifford Brown Memorial Album (Prestige, W. 50th).

Art Blakey, One Night at Birdland Vol. 1 IBlue Note, W. 63rd), and Miles Davis, Round About Midnight (Columbia two eyes)

This kora recording is rather stunning--Madou Sidiki Diabate, Live in India at the Amarrass Desert Music Festival http://www.amazon.com/Live-India-Madou-Sidiki-Diabate/dp/B008ZDCIXQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1376659133&sr=1-3&keywords=amarrass

Tonight, listening to the second set by Logan Richardson's group.

The forum link was moved to the most inconspicuous place possible on their site a good while ago--the bottom lower left corner in tiny font. I wondered if that was the first step toward getting rid of it.

Catching the second set by Ari Hoenig: Shai Maestro - Piano Johannes Weidenmuller - Bass Ari Hoenig - Drums

Bud Powell (Roost) (Nippon Columbia reissue).

It's late Saturday night, and the wonderful Stacey Dillard's Brooklyn Circle, a trio tonight, is performing.

Have a great birthday!

I heard him play once in Austin, around 1982.

A rare ten LP haul: Two Riverside Monks, Five by Monk by Five and Monk in Italy. Sonny Rollins, Freedom Suite (Riverside, Japanese Victor). An Emarcy, Max Roach on the Chicago Scene. Four Verves, Lee Konitz Tranquility and Very Cool (Trumpet label), as well as Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster and Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges. On Columbia, Sidney Bechet (six eyes). On Muse, Dave Schnitter, Glowing.

Thelonious Monk, Five by Monk by Five (Riverside Mono)

Is the CD version being discussed the 2004 Verve double CD release? It seems perfectly fine to me. Most if not all of the other European concert recordings by this group are sonically inferior to this concert recording.

The recording is mono.
