Tom 1960

I heard a track off this a short time ago and it sounds outstanding. The dj listed the players on this date and it sounds like a must have. What say you?

I have to wonder how much of this will be on the upcoming Bootleg Vol. 6. I don't have any of the Olympia material currently.

Another plug. The past few weeks Ken has been devoting his shows to the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. He's been playing recordings also which have never been commercially available. More reason to check this show out. The series continues now and is available on demand. Great show if you love West Coast Jazz.

Happy Birthday, Bill!

I have that one on order as we speak as well as a good number of VSOP titles.

Program plug. Ken's program today features music of the V Disc label.

I'm not certain if this has been mentioned in this lengthy thread. But I came across this when I saw it mentioned on the VSOP Records thread. The obvious ones like Conte Candoli, Frank Rossolino, Mel Lewis, Richie Kamuca, Marty Paich, Art Pepper, Herbie Harper usually garner the attention. This date lead by guitarist Dempsey Wright features Richie Kamuca, Victor Feldman, Ben Tucker and Stan Levey. A real nice session I believe people should take a look at especially if you enjoy West Coast Jazz from the 1950's. A real nice surprise for me.

I don't normally have Saturdays off from work. That said I want to plug this excellent program hosted by Ken Poston. Today his focus for 3 hours was on the music of Gerry Mulligan. Well done show. A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to hear his program on Atlas Records. His program airs from 7 am to 10 am Pacific time. 10 am to 1 pm eastern time on Saturdays. Mark this program on your music calendar. https://www.jazz88.org/

I own both the Shank and Mulligan Mosaics. Both fine sets.
