    Lovely remembrance and photo that remind me of my own childhood. Speaking of childhood, listening right now to this classic from my youth:

    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.

    I picked up one as well! But it has yet to arrive... your comments make me even more eager to enjoy it.

    We re-aired How Professor Bop Paid His Dues: Babs Gonzales this past week, and it remains archived for online listening.

    Nice version of Hank Mobley’s “Funk In Deep Freeze” on this.

    Had the very same reaction, Joe. Certainly fits right in with the mythos that surrounds him. An extraordinary artist.

    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.

    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."

    Sigh--no CD reissue, apparently. I'll keep hunting for the old one, in that case.

    Yep, I picked that one up after reading True Adventures, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Fascinating writer!

    This excellent Astrud Gilberto collection.

    1968, Riot: The Year In Jazz We re-aired this show last week, and it remains archived for online listening.

    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. )

    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.

    With Albert Dailey, just a couple of months before his death:

    Last week's show, exploring Ellington's score for the 1959 Otto Preminger film Anatomy Of A Murder and Lewis' score for Robert Wise's Odds Against Tomorrow, made the same year, is up for online listening: Black Composers In Hollywood: Duke Ellington and John Lewis, 1959

    I think The Herbie Hancock Columbia 1972-88 Columbia box (34 CDs) is the most voluminous set I have around the house. Btw several new copies of it seem to be around online right now at really good prices.

    I have both of these sets and am long overdue to revisit them, though I think I did play the Brown box through again a few years ago. My distant recollection is that it seemed to be a lot of each particular artist at first, but not so much that I regretted buying either set. I've got a soft spot for the club blues sound, so I've probably taken the Brown down off the shelf more than the Milburn over the years (though "In The Middle Of The Night," that's Milburn, right? Damn, that's a good one... he did club blues too). Some might be content with the two excellent compilations that you posted above, drawn from the same body of work.
