Ray Charles: His Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (ABC/Dunhill)

I've never heard an original Candid pressing, but this sounds great.

The Quintet: Jazz at Massey Hall

Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus

Alan Bennett's Diary for 2017 in the London Review of Books

Ellington/Hodges: Side By Side

I thought Georgia had rainy nights, not snowy days.

Happy Birthday! (Thanks for picking up the birthday thread, Dan. If I remember, I'll try to help out.)

Probably not essential Marsh, but some interesting music included in that one.

Odd title for the article. Is Miles Davis a jazz pianist? Hey may have played keyboards occasionally, but ...

Memphis Minnie, Mississippi Matilda, Kansas City Kitty, Miss Rosa Mae Moore: Four Women Blues (Bluebird)

James Clay & David "Fathead" Newman: The Sound of Wide Open Spaces!!!! I can't recall ever hearing a record with so many reed squeaks as there are in James Clay's playing here. It doesn't spoil the record for me, but it's certainly strange to hear.

Wiilie Nelson: Crazy - The Demo Sessions

NY Times obituary: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/15/obituaries/dolores-oriordan-dead.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fobituaries&action=click&contentCollection=obituaries&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=sectionfront Incidentally, her name is misspelled in the thread title. I'm another who didn't know anything about her before now. Listening to the first clip in this thread, it sounds as if she had a good voice.

Stupid Cupid Handy Andy Tricky Dicky

Jimmy Reed!!!

Masahiko Togashi & Steve Lacy : Eternal Duo (Paddle Wheel)

The CD of JB

Had it on LP, have it on CD now and still love it.

Aha! There's a trick to everything.

Roosevelt Sykes & the Honeydrippers: The Joint Is Jumping (United/P-Vine)

I've always liked Mighty Lights (Enja) with Charlie Haden and Ed Blackwell. I heard that band play live a couple of times.

Strange cover.

I've wondered about that myself.

Love that set (& Bud) - and the commentary is interesting too..
