Thanks and Gutes Neues Jahr

The plan for dinner:

Less than what I spent for the beverage of New Year Eve

It sounds like a gag in a Mel Brooks' movie.

Jazz at The Plaza and At Newport concerts

Same source

I've got few original pressings, mostly japanese reissues of Transition.

A Day With Art Blakey 1961

Japan.

Interplay For 2 Trumpets And 2 Tenors - Idrees Sulieman, Webster Young, John Coltrane, Bobby Jaspar With Mal Waldron, Kenny Burrell, Paul Chambers, Art Taylor.

Received it as a gift, never tasted before, I am in love with it, head to head with my fave Cragganmore 12yo.

I admit I am not a great fan of Roland Kirk's multi instrument playing but I can appreciate the effort.

Mono

NY mono.

Agree

I think great musicians can play even the most worn out or unlikely tune without being boring, I am thinkin' of Trane's Chim Chim Cheree or My Favourite Things, but I agree that there are good jazz tunes, Duke Pearson's ones the first it comes to my mind, that would have deserved a longer life.

Japan

No pain, no gain.

I had both in a twoofer back then. I have both in the debut box set. I bought both in vinyl, Japan, lately. Think they are my fave “quintet like “ Mingus.

Best obituary I can think of.
