kh1958

Cigars I don't need, but I had some Cuban coffee in Mexico once, and that is something I would like to be able to buy.

If you go to Mexico, Cuban cigars are prominently for sale at the airport. After that, you are on your own.

Willis Jackson--More Gravy (Prestige, yellow and black NJ) Sonny Rollins--The Bridge (German RCA)

Miles Davis--Bitches Brew (Columbia two eyes).

Flip Philips--Jumping Moods (Clef 10 inch) Jimmy Giuffre--Western Suite (Atlantic, black label) Ralph Towner--Solstice, Sound and Shadows (ECM)

Jimmy Smith --Bluesmith (Verve) Thelonious Monk--Monk's Dream (Columbia, mono two eyes)

I remember when Spiritualizing the Senses came out, and lyrics were printed on the back cover; when I saw that, I inwardly cringed. Then I heard the record and - surprise! - no vocals, just a lot of good music. It was a very pleasant surprise. Eddie Harris was on that record, correct? Yes--it was recorded in 1983. I bought it from him personally when he appeared at the Caravan of Dreams in 1985. As I recall, his quintet played some of the music from this recording, with Ralph Moore on tenor and Brian Lynch on trumpet--Horace was playing really well, the music was even better live than the record--I heard four sets, all fabulous and inspired. Me too.

Clifford Brown--Max Roach--Study in Brown (Mercury, blue cover)

Zoot Sims--a test pressing by H.V. Waddell Co. in Burbank, California. No information as to label, track titles, or name of the album. Based on the label ID no. 2310-903, this appears to be Zoot Sims Plays Johnny Mandel, on Pablo.

Conductor Don Cornelius

Paul Desmond---Take Ten (RCA black label)

This Is Ray Brown (Verve trumpet label)

An my birthday always transitions into "Happy Birthday Charlie Parker!"

Thanks very much.

Thanks, I didn't realize there were that many--I was just listening to Hold On, I'm Comin' recently--Sonny Sharrock with David Newman, what a band.

Does anyone have a list of all the Herbie Mann recordings featuring Sonny Sharrock?

The blog looks very interesting, but the white print on a black background format is difficult to read for very long.

Visions of Dawn is enjoyable and recommended.

This sounds like a job for Uptown Records.

Stanley Turrentine--Never Let Me Go (Blue Note, mono, NY USA) Eddie Lockjaw Davis--The Heavy Hitter (Muse)

Happy birthday!

Gene Krupa Trio--Jazz at the Philharmonic (Clef, trumpet label)

I have four: Horace Silver's Filthy McNasty (45-1817), Ike Quebec, Shu Shu/Liebestraum (45-1875). Both of these have a solid blue label with a 43 W.61st Street Address. Art Blakey's Moanin (45-1735), Cannonball Adderley, Somthin' Else (45-1738). The latter two have blue and white labels, with A Division of Liberty Records on the label.

Don Byas and Slam Stewart (Commodore)

Where is it located?
