kh1958

I've now received 44 out of 45 ordered. Three CDs showed up yesterday (in two separate envelopes).

Rudys in Waco, and Rudys in Round Rock (just north of Austin). http://www.rudys.com/

Do you know if she has any recent recordings? It's been a good while since her last American CD release.

Sun Ra--Fate in a Pleasant Mood (Impulse promo) Sun Ra--Atlantis (Impuse) Wild Bill Davis at Birdland (Epic)

John Graas-- Jazz Lab 1 (Decca) Session at Midnight--Jazz Reunion at Melrose (Capitol, turquoise label)

I perused the Friday New York Times Art Section and saw (in their partial listing) more than a dozen "jazz" concerts I would pay to see over the course of the next week. In Dallas, on the other hand, jazz does smell pretty bad.

Baden Powell--Seresta Brasileira. A pleasing solo guitar recording of romantic serenades from 1988, on Milestone, available in the oldies.com Fantasy Warehouse sale.

The Young Lions (Veejay)

Yesterday, 27 CDs, in three different boxes, arrived. So I've now received 41 out of the 45 I ordered.

Stanley Turrentine, Dearly Beloved (Blue Note, NY USA) Big John Patton, The Way I Feel (Blue Note, blue and white Liberty)

What is the market for this anyway? Doesn't everyone who might want this much Miles already have 68 of the 70 CDs?

When not listening to ECM, we contemplate the superiority of East Coast over West Coast jazz....

Chico Hamilton--Chic Chic Chico (Impulse mono, orange/black)

Eddie Turner--Pearl.

Those two takes of China Boy are incredible.

Presenting the Art Tatum Trio (Verve, trumpet label) Herbie Mann--Hold On, I'm Comin' (Atlantic)--with David Newman and Sonny Sharrock. John Coltrane--Cosmic Music (Impulse, red and black)

I stumbled across another John Wright recording in the oldies.com Fantasy sale (it came in the mail today)--he plays piano on a blues album for Bluesville (OBC 593): The Blues of Arbee Stidham, Tired of Wandering. Also with King Curtis.

Charlie Parker was a sideman on a Tiny Grimes Savoy date from late 1944.

Gary Burton---Lofty Fake Anagram (RCA black dog)

I picked up one I had missed in the oldies.com Fantasy sale--Berlin '65 - Paris '67. Four tracks from the Berlin concert and six from the Paris concert--the latter concert at the Salle Pleyel is the reason to get this one, with the group sounding inspired, and the Paris concert is well-recorded.

No one has mentioned Walter Davis Jr.'s In Walked Thelonious. This solo piano CD features 15 relatively brief but intense and inspired performances (15 songs in 43 minutes).

Jazz Workshop on RCA is my favorite; a great record.

He should be banned for life, but if reinstated, in his case, there should be no such thing as roughing the passer or a personal foul.

I also like this record. This last period of Miles is perfectly fine and enjoyable to me. And his trumpet sound remains quite beautiful, even if simplified from earlier periods.

And I thought you were done and had completed your jazz buying! I don't know that place, so thanks for the tip.
