Your post got me to take it off the shelf and listen. Great stuff! indeed.

Good one - somewhat overlooked in the midst of the BNs.

To my ears, KD's Showboat album on Time contains some of his best playing.

Mine is a Japanese reissue LP from the 1980s. I've never seen an original.

Rockin' the Blues (Rockin')

Doug Watkins: Watkins at Large

Cannonball Adderley/Milt Jackson: Things Are Getting Better Listening to this reminded me of some of the things I dislike about Cannonball Adderley's music. The title tune is a corny piece of pseudo-soul, and "Sounds for Sid" is the sort of thing that Jimmy Forrest could play and make real. Cannonball can't.

Lester Young - Roy Eldridge - Harry Edison: Laughin' To Keep From Cryin' Pres doesn't sound like he was at all well on this session, though he does get it together on "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone". On one or two other tunes, the ideas are there, even if the chops are not. I'm keeping this for Burt Goldblatt's cover photo, for Roy and Sweets - and for Pres.

Mal Waldron with the Steve Lacy Quintet (America)

Elizabeth Taylor G. I. Joe James Bond

Walking Blues (l.o.C./Flyright) My copy has "HONEYBOY" on the front - signed by Mr. Edwards.

Amen. One that belongs in every Bird lover's collection.

I agree with your take on this record, Jeff.

Lightnin' Hopkins: Strums the Blues

Mingus: Tijuana Moods

Steve Lacy: More Monk (Soul Note)

Harp of a Thousand Strings - All Day Singing from the Sacred Harp (Rounder)

Max Roach + 4

Primitive Piano (The Sirens)

Indeed. I only wish that somehow the performance of "Fine and Mellow" that was played on the television show could have been included on this recording. That one is untouchable, though I guess watching Pres and Billie on video tops even an audio version.

Divine Latin Divas (Charly Caliente)

A lot of

One of my favorite Mosaics

You mean you don't speak Sangreyese?
