  1. Wow, I just came here to post the very same album! Must be in the air… Verve Elite was such a great series.
  2. Disc 1 of this lovely set from Rhino’s Handmade series—purchase inspired by a recent discussion here on the board:
  3. Lovely remembrance and photo that remind me of my own childhood. Speaking of childhood, listening right now to this classic from my youth:
  4. Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions, and yeah, that's a good point of reference. Another good musical point of comparison IMO, though not a Mosaic set, is Rhino's Central Avenue Sounds box set from the 1990s. There may even be several Black & White releases in that collection.
  5. We re-aired How Professor Bop Paid His Dues: Babs Gonzales this past week, and it remains archived for online listening.
  6. Nice version of Hank Mobley’s “Funk In Deep Freeze” on this.
  7. Had the very same reaction, Joe. Certainly fits right in with the mythos that surrounds him. An extraordinary artist.
  8. Actually working on a sort of sequel to this show that will focus on Columbia’s mid/late 1970s jazz roster, with some commentary from Michael Cuscuna.
  9. Savor the first taste of a historic find "The rare cachet of the songbook albums is one way to make sense of the unusual decision to present Ella in a split program of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin repertory at the Hollywood Bowl, on Aug. 16, 1958. She performed with an elaborate congress of musicians billed as the Hollywood Bowl Pops Orchestra, conducted by Paul Weston, who'd also conducted and arranged the orchestra on the Berlin songbook album."
  10. Sigh--no CD reissue, apparently. I'll keep hunting for the old one, in that case.
  11. Yep, I picked that one up after reading True Adventures, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Fascinating writer!
  12. This excellent Astrud Gilberto collection.
  13. 1968, Riot: The Year In Jazz We re-aired this show last week, and it remains archived for online listening.
  14. Before And After With Walter Smith III A great in-depth conversation with Dan Bilawsky for JazzTimes’ “Before And After” listening session. (Both have Indiana University connections, so pardon any partisan bias on my behalf. )
  15. I traveled back in time to chat with Duke about his score for the film Anatomy Of A Murder. My Interview With Duke Ellington ... it's a sort of supplement to last week's Night Lights show.
  16. With Albert Dailey, just a couple of months before his death:
