This Ra is now out: This twofer completes the Egypt trilogy.

Any news here?

Jack Teagarden was a big fan of the songs of Willard Robison. A lof of them here on this album from 1962:

Bought this yesterday, does that count? Esther Phillips - From A Whisper To A Scream Lee Morgan - The Rumproller Super Biton - Belle Epoque Should account for some good listening ahead.

Oh yes - what's this one, Jostber? What label? Picture? I really need to upgrade my Tiny Bradshaw stuff. MG Tiny was a real groover. Here is the record, a recent compilation of his King sides from Rev-Ola Bandstand records: I can't imagine it would be his complete 1950-55 if it's only one disc - but maybe it is. Does it say so? MG It does not say Complete, so it might not be all from this period. There are 32 songs here though, so I believe all the hits from King are here. The album description: One bandleader who seems to go on and on is Tiny Bradshaw, who was resident at the Savoy in Harlem for many years after the mid thirties. Tiny still has a jumping big-little band of about twelve men who blow their brains out and bawl very risqué lyrics with immense gusto. He is a firm favourite and it's easy to understand why - his discs have all the ingredients for a successful race record of today - broad humour, powerful brass, a honking tenor and that rocking, rolling beat which hasn't changed much during the years except to get a bit more frantic." When the above appeared in the October 1952 issue of Jazz Journal magazine (a British publication from 1952 mentioning "rocking" and "rolling"!), the article’s subject, Tiny Bradshaw, had been a showbiz veteran for nearly thirty years and had been fronting his own band for almost two decades of those. Ironically, within months of that fateful issue hitting the streets, his musical career had all but ceased due to health problems that would persist until his death six years later. From his amazing sleazy jump blues megahits (a staple of modern day burlesque shows and 'swing dance' clubs)to his then flop but now Rock n Roll classic 'The Train Kept A Rollin' (recorded by everyone from The Johnny Burnette Rock nRoll Trio to The Yardbirds to Aerosmith to lord knows who!) this is classic stuff. Jump jiving on a summer night....too hot for a zoot suit, but, hey, one can't have everything... All the hits AND the timeless ‘Train Kept A Rollin'. All wonderfully remastered in true RevOla style and with beautiful pics and RARE as hell memorabilia... A must for all fans of ROCKING jump blues tunes...Swing dancing and Burlesque...so I guess that's everybody!!

Freezy, going down to -10 C and will be further down by the weekend.

Just ordered this, thanks for the recommendation, MG!

This week it must be Peg Leg Howell and His Gang with "Too Tight Blues". That song suits a beer!

Last coupla days: Arthur Alexander - The Greatest Bonga - Bairro Francisco Lopez - Nowhere: Short Pieces 1983-2003 Garnett Mimms - Warm & Soulful H-Bomb Ferguson - Big City Blues 1951-54 Jack Teagarden - Shades Of Night Jack Teagarden - The Classics Years, Vol.2 King Sunny Abe - JuJu Music Mary Lou Williams - Black Christ Of The Andes Mickey Baker - Hit, Git & Split Robert Henke - Layering Buddah Tiny Bradshaw - Heavy Juice, King Recordings 1950-1955 Tiny Topsy - And Friends V.A. - Music Of The Rain Forest Pygmies

Tristano's great blues "Requiem", his tribute to Charlie Parker, sounds pretty black to me.

Love his "All That Is Tied" from 2006. Looking forward to this!

That Charlie Barnet from the 40's would be wonderful have released.

I like this a lot:

I've seen it mentioned some places that "The New Tristano" is pretty Monkish.

Nat King Cole - Sings For Two In Love (Capitol T 420) His first LP from 1953. Lovely record with great sound. Arrangements by Nelson Riddle.

Would be great to hear that whole story!

I haven't heard that. I saw him in St Louis, Senegal in '97 and he was TOTAL DYNAMITE, singing very much more in the style of his first two albums, "Doxandeme" and "Dieufdieull" than in the style of his more recent material for Jololi, which has been issued on CD by World Circuit. A year or so later, I saw him in London, at The Barbican, and it was all like his recent material; very low key stuff. The contrast was so great that I haven't bought any of his albums since then. If you see the CD "Inedits", this contains his first two K7s from the Audio Video label and is a great coupling. MG This one is a classic! Love Cheikh's sound and groove here.

Great listening, thanks!

That will be good to know. Many thanks, Jaffa. Looking forward to this, thanks!

Brilliant thread, keep them posts coming!

You can buy some pure peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil from a health food store or the pharmacy. Put some drops of each oil in a cup, and dip a sugarcube in that. Should do the trick. If there is infection that causes it, turmeric is a powerful natural remedy. Some capsules per day, or some spice powder in water, will better the condition.
