RIP Bill.

Bill Barron. Anyone else like his playing?

So long Mr. Berry. You were a true original. You music will live on forever. R.I.P.

I second this Mingus recording.

Happy Birthday.

Yes, he is the grand poopba at this.

It may be the the wine I just drank this afternoon, but I started thinking while listening to Oliver Nelson's "Blues and the Abstract Truth" that this is a recording that should be a requirement for high school students to listen to in order to graduate. It is just such a great album from start to finish. If you haven't listened to this, you are lacking something. I bet there are individual favorites for others here. Which one(s) do you feel are mind altering, life changing, and important to others that everyone needs to listen to at least once in their lifetime?

Wow. Another loss. RIP Mr. Cotton. Thanks for the music you left us.

Happy Birthday.

I must say this was one nice BFT. I will be playing this in car when driving distances. I haven't looked at anyone's responses yet. The only ones I would guess are #8. There is no doubt that this is George Adams. He had his own sound that can't be copied, liked original Coca Cola. #12. Fats Waller. I have all the recordings I could get with Waller. Time to read the other replies.

BFT156.

No looking back, like improvising.

I never saw these before.

Happy birthday
