Dodo Greene--My Hour of Need (Blue Note NY USA)

A few favorite Mingus bass solos: 1. The Haitian Fight Song from The Clown; 2. The Cryin' Blues from Blues and Roots; 3. Fables of Faubus from The Great Concert of Charles Mingus; 4. For Harry Carney from Changes Two; 5. Meditations on Integration from Town Hall Concert.

He performed that composition frequently as a solo piece at live performances I saw during the 1980s.

This One's for Blanton (Pablo), with Ray Brown. The Piano Player (Storyville)

You may need a "qualified appraisal" to claim a charitable deduction of $5000 or more. Here is a link to the IRS publication which provides guidance. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p561/ix01.html

Another good one available for a pittance: Amalia Mendoza and Jose Alfredo JImenez--Cantando A Duo. An RCA recording from 1964. Excellent sound. http://www.amazon.com/Voces-Queridas-Mexico-Alfredo-Jimenez/dp/B000005LE3/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1282521139&sr=1-3

I certainly agree with you regarding Thomas Chapin.

Charles Earland--Living Black (Prestige, purple label)

Lately I've been acquiring recordings by Adriana Calcanhotto. She's got a beautiful, sensuous voice and composes appealing songs as well. Publico (a mostly live solo performance), A Fabrica do Poema, Cantada, and Senhos are all excellent.

Birthday Greetings!

Illinois Jacquet (1945-50)-disc 2.

Shirley Scott--Shirley's Sounds (Prestige, yellow and black NJ)
