Jackie McLean: Makin' the Changes

The Spaniels: Play It Cool (Vee Jay/Charly) My ears say that the guitarist on this is Chicagoan Jody Williams. My ears can be wrong, but great guitar by whoever it is.

The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul

James covered "Think", so they returned the favor.

GREAT record!

King Oliver: 'Call of the Freaks' - The Complete Victor Recordings Volume 1 (Frog)

The Lost Sessions Some interesting music and at least as much that should never have seen the light of day.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

James Carr: You Got My Mind Messed Up (Goldwax/Vivid)

Sam Cooke's Night Beat Most of Sam Cooke's hits were made for a mixed - black and white audience. This record was made for a black audience - not even looking for a hit, though I do remember hearing "Little Red Rooster" on AM radio back when.

Arthur Crudup: That's All Right Mama (Fire/Relic)

Ralph Sutton & Jay McShann: Last of the Whorehouse Piano Players (Chiaroscuro)

An AEC day out your way.

Fats Navarro with the Tadd Dameron Band

Just a delay. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Pony Poindexter: Pony's Express

Chicago Blues at Home

Bird's Eyes Vol. 8 Includes music recorded in Boston, 1951; Paul Desmond and a radio announcer interviewing Bird; and Bird sitting in with the Kenton Orchestra - Good enough for me.
