Nino Rivera - Cuban Jam Session Vol. 3 Ruby Braff – I Hear Music Crazy what a good record this was, given that it comes from 2000.

I really enjoyed these lists you made, and it has been good to revisit. One key point that jumps out is that the music on these lists may be the least easily streamed of all music. Neither old enough for the digital reissues or modern enough to be available electronically. So it is still CD or bust for many of them. Whilst lists of e.g. 1950s jazz releases are basically just measuring contests, lists and blogs like the ones we are discussing are really important. This music is being forgotten and it takes lists like this to guide people through.

I weirdly can't locate this one on discogs or Google.

It seems like the WDR Big Band has been around for a while and a lot of people enjoy records featuring guest stars playing with it. I'd be interested to know whether anyone has any favourites.

Akira Miyazawa Quartet – Sea Horse

What is the "corresponding generation"? Does he mean that each generation has its own list of prized vintage jazz reissues? Or that they just buy the jazz of their youth?

Defeated Sanity – The Sanguinary Impetus

Ernie Wilkins And His Orchestra – Here Comes The Swingin' Mr. Wilkins!

I ordered it yesterday and it is already here? Looks beautiful and can't wait to spin it.

David Murray Quartet - Birdly Serenade I saw this group at OTO last year and was impressed by the Spanish pianist Marta Sanchez, as well as Luke Stewart, who is more of a known quantity. I might almost prefer the record as a piano trio without the vocals or occasional reed playing, but Sanchez and Stewart are good accompanists too. But still I think one of Murray's better recent records. Mostly because he sits out a lot. I didn't know he looked like that. Great face for a bandleader, or a cop.

There was a period when his music seemed to be coming in for reappraisal.

It really is very underrated given the quality of what they put out. I think because the best Sackville is in the less hip categories.

Siegfried Kessler, Barre Phillips and Steve McCall – Live At The "Gill's Club"

Joe Pass – Portraits Of Duke Ellington The Wynton Kelly Trio with Special Guest George Coleman – Live At The Left Bank Jazz Society Baltimore, 1968 Also featuring some incendiary George Coleman live at the Left Bank. Joey Waronker and Pete Min – King King

El Fabuloso Aldemaro Y Su Onda Nueva This is a fusion of a (to me) obscure Venezuelan folk form Joropa, Brazilian bossa nova, psychedelic era instrumentation, and Swingle Sisters style vocals. One of those records that historical sense tells you must exist. Might appeal to @Teasing the Korean if he doesn't already know it.

Did he ever issue an LP? Can't find anything on discogs.

Ben Webster and Associates

I assume the original point about mysteries was more about Agatha Christie type stuff rather than detective novels.

Reading the Kalevala for the first time. I'm not sure what I was expecting - probably more Ossian goes to Iceland. I wasn't expecting a wry Scandi Hiawatha. Really enjoying it in the Bosley translation.

My neighbour is a retired dustman with a "colourful" past. He reads crime novels and then gives them to me. They're a varied bunch quality-wise. Michael Connelly was the one that absolutely blew me away. Literary level writing, good plots, and, as a special treat, lots of jazz. I gifted them on to my dad who got similarly obsessed.

Joe Cuba – Cocinando La Salsa (Cookin' The Sauce)

Sorry: Jim!!!

I'm a big fan of Savage Night by James Thompson.

Pinduca – Carimbó E Sirimbó Do Pinduca

Luca Tilli, Sebi Tramontana and Steve Beresford – Flying Slippers Now on to this fantastic one: Mestre Geraldo E Sua Bateria – Batucada Genial
