René Thomas 'Guitar Groove' (Jazzland, mono)

Interesting! The Charlie Parker Benedettti Mosaic LP box reaches $560. Charlie Parker Mosaic The CD set is still available for $112! The seller is a familiar name around these parts

The Duke meets Joan Miro during a visit to the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul de Vence on the French Riviera in July 1966. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExuuE4ZSVQU Sculptures by Miro, Alexander Calder and Albert Giacometti are among the works shown on the video. Playing with the Duke are bassist John Lamb and drummer Sam Woodyard. The Duke Ellington orchestra was playing at the Juan les Pins/Antibes jazz festival, a few miles away, at the time.

Classics has not reached the half mark for the Tommy Dorsey material. They have not been into Jimmy Dorsey yet!

Armand Migiani/Michel de Villers 'Cool Jazz at Saint-Germain des Prés' (Jazz in Paris) the only vinyl from the JinP series! A 10incher!

Yes, DSM has the cover credit on the vinyl!

Saw the Japanese vinyl reissue of that Verve album. Already had most of the tracks and did not buy it. The album has 1952 sides by Don Byas (with Art Simmons) on one side and 1952 trio sides by Bernard Peiffer. All available by now in the Jazz In Paris series. Nice - but with inaccurate perspective - cover of the Saint-Germain des Prés church with a table from the Café des Deux Magots in foreground.

Woody Herman Complete Columbia 1945-1947, disc 7 (the Four Brothers band)

Yogi Berra!

BIG Sidney Catlett! Jo Jones and Sidney Catlett One of those magic moments in jazz

A favorite early Benny Golson was his Contemporary album 'New York Scene' Golson had a quintet of Art Farmer, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Charles Persip on it plus Jimmy Cleveland, Julius Watkins, Gigy Gryce and Sahib Shihab added on three tunes. Golson, Gryce and Ernie Wilkins did the arrangements for the album. The only thing wrong with this one was that it was not made in LA. Roy DuNann did not record it and the uncredited engineer did not do a DuNann job I have that 'Stocholm Sojourn' Prestige LP somewhere. I was not very impressed and filed it in a corner. Can't lay my hands over it now

Al Cohn 'The Jazz Workshop' (RCA Victor)

A couple of favorite David Stone Martin covers!

The Stinson cover must have looked like this one

The European release of this Pablo LP had this DSM cover

My copy of the Mosaic Quebec/Hardee box is in a safe at my bank Now spinning: Jimmy Giuffre 'The Four Brothers Sound' (Atlantic, mono, black label)

The one that makes it for me is Arnett Cobb! His cheer will and joy of playing is totally amazing!

Wild men from Texas... almost all! Texas Tenors
