I just bought "Hey Doc!", and it's great! 1975. My favorite track is "What Can I Say After I Say I'm Sorry". Doc sings a chorus, scats a chorus--his scat singing is a vocalization of his trumpet style--and then takes it out with two choruses of of choice trumpet. What pleasure for my ears.

I just bought a copy of this: and I've really been enjoying it. It was recorded in 1975. Doc Cheatham is on trumpet, and he solos well and often. He even gets a feature track, "I've Got a Right to Sing the Blues", on which Buddy lays out. Johnny Guarnieri is on piano, and it's a pleasure to hear someone other than the usual crew, comping and soloing. Vic Dickenson was nearly 70 at the time, but he knew how to conserve himself, and George Duvivier and Oliver Jackson are steady, as always. Buddy of course plays beautifully throughout; he seems to have been inspired by the fresh company. Nice date. Both Buddy-- and Doc-- went forward with other good outings during this period. Any recommendations for other swing dates from these later years?

Another old pug with alzheimers. RIP.

I think "Early Jazz" is the better work, probably because he was able to maintain a more dispassionate approach to his material. With the "Swing Era" he was dealing with the music of his youth, and that probably colored his judgements. Anyway, I'm sorry that I can no longer look forward to Mr. Schuller's Part 3. Thanks to everyone for the information and suggestions.

Schuller's "The Swing Era" was published in 1989, with the promise of a third volume of writing covering post-WWII jazz. Is the third volume still in the works? Anyone know?

Oscar Wilde Wild Child Julia Child

Gene Rodgers did the piano introduction on Hawk's "Body and Soul". Anyone heard this?

Thanks for your input. Mary Howard Records--I can't even find a mention of them on the web.

I'm compiling, for my own amusement, a discography of Foots Thomas' small-band studio work from the mid-40s.

This is a good one. I understand Dick did a couple of other albums for Concord. I hope they're reissued sometime soon.
