Albert Ammons: Boogie Woogie and the Blues 1944 Great piano solos on side 2

Wonderful to see the children's responses. Thanks so much for posting that, Jim.

Some very fine Hawk and others - not just an historically rewarding record.

LP 7

Depends on what the new releases are. The vast majority of what they've released has tarnished the brand. Probably no reason to think that might change, especially with a guy like Was running things. Heritage/shmeritage - who cares about the umpteenth release of the old music?

Either record some good new music or put the label in its grave.

My Brownie box - bought around the time it was released - has the 11th CD with the one track. That was back when record companies seemed to care about doing things right. Compare that to the Getz Verve box of several years ago. Well, we screwed up, but we'll give you the track we left off as a download, even though you paid for physical product. The only companies which seem to care these days are Mosaic and Nessa - Chuck paid to have his Air LPs repressed last year because he didn't like the sound. (I believe that was what happened.)

Blakey/Messengers and Monk Very good sounding mono version.

Lightnin' Hopkins: Lightnin'! (Tomato)

Ornette: Skies of America (Columbia)

Joe Carter and His Chicago Broomdusters: Mean & Evil Blues (Barrelhouse)

The Delmore Brothers: Sand Mountain Blues (County)

Charlie Parker w. Jay McShann: Early Bird (Stash)

I wonder how long it will take before they take Sanchez from behind the plate and make him a full time DH or whatever?
