Newport this week-end! Teddy Wilson Trio (57) Gerry Mulligan Quartet (57) Joe Daley Trio (63) Martial Solal Trio (63) Now The Jazz Piano of John Coates Jr.

Many well-known names from the musical scene of my native island! With family around, I've listened to "Folklore Réunionnais", a compilation of Sega music, the other music genre along with maloya on th island. Side B is wonderful. Discovering now: Stan Getz - Focus. Getz seems a bit on auto-pilot, but I like the arrangements and thought the strings and sax were blending very well. Starting the afternoon with: earl meets harry (B&B).

Jazz by Sun Ra Vol. 1 Young Man Mose !!

Konstrukt and Alexander Hawkins - Live at Cafe OTO Great vibe

Tour de France in the afternoon, Jordan and Zoot in the evening. Good day.

Thanks for the tip, I'll listen to the complete version on Deezer at work. Before work was Billie and Dede Pierce: blues in the classic tradition. Careless love! Nobody knows you! Chris A.!

Zoot Sims - Cookin'! A beautiful copy from the vaults of G.E. Mechen, Brighton. A remarkable session recorded at the RS Club in the early 60s. Awesome Stan Tracey! The cover is as colourful as the liner notes are: "in these days of tortuous harmonic complexity,..., his distinctive tenor was always a very warm and exciting voice among the often pale intellectualized and over-arranged sounds produced at the time."

Gene Ammons time! Boss Tenor and three Prestige twofers: 78 era, Gentle Jug, with Dodo.

Gosh, after seing very popular 100+ pages thread unintentionally vanishing in utter indifference, the same goes on but intentionally. A pity. And I sure disliked the high proportion of politically-related cartoons. Please think about locking a thread instead of deleting it, thanks.

Dexter has been Calling a lot in the past few afternoons!

Spook Jazz!

Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick (2017 reissue) !!

I like it. Good complementarity between Tracey and Babbington. "I let a song" is just beautiful. I was not won over by the record Tracey has made with Rouse around the same period, but I will give it another try someday.

And Histoire de Melody Nelson tonight!

Great selection over the week-end (Dini S. has been reissued!):

Stan Tracey plays Duke Ellington Sonny Rollins What's New Dexter Calling...

Great movie, great soundtrack and a beautiful cover! Even more Smiles recently: Tonight Blakey's African Beat. The ORTF (National Radio&TV Office way before I was born) knew how to brand their records:

Miles Kington!!

During the week-end: In the Bechet gatefold, I found dozen of typewritten sheets for radio programs from a well-known journalist and broadcaster. Very instructive and well-written. Can you guess who he is? I am lucky to have a tiny chunk of his former collection now. A beautiful record this morning: Montrose-Jolly Quartet: "Better Late Than Never".

Having a blast with my recent purchases: Is there a way/link to download a full thread? It would be sad to see the current one vanish into the "Oops, let's just move on" category.
