Could not find anything on the net on Henderson recording with Ra, or using his arrangements on record. You might check with the Sun Ra Yahoo group: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/sunra...yguid=152313703 - Jostein

A reissue of a rare Jack Teagarden and Bobby Hackett LP from 1963 has been released on CD by RLR Records: http://www.amazon.com/Last-Encounter-Holly...TF8&s=music I look forward to hear Jack play(and sing?) My Funny Valentine. Love his voice. - Jostein

My fave Sun Ra's listed in the correct order for a long party night: 1. Holiday for soul dance 2. Jazz in Silhouette 3. Nuclear War (get the Japanese edition for better sound: http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/497813) 4. Angels and demons at play/Nubians from Plutonia 5. Greatest Hits 6. When Angels speak of love If somebody wants more after the pretty up-beat "Next stop Mars" on Angels, then these 2 will shorten the wait till sunrise: 7. The Futuristic World of Sun Ra 8. Sunrise in different dimensions - Jostein

I think this list is a good one: http://www.scaruffi.com/jazz/best100.html. Getting the CDs that are rewarded a crown in the Penguin Jazz guide is also a good start: http://www.ucalgary.ca/~ghfick/jazz.html - Jostein

"Shades of night" with Jack Teagarden from 1957 has not been released on CD. Really should. - Jostein

My all time favourite is "The Best of Chet Baker Sings", a really wonderful record: http://www.amazon.com/Best-Chet-Baker-Sing...TF8&s=music These are also great: Chet is Back(in great shape, brilliant material): http://www.amazon.com/Chet-Back-Baker/dp/B...TF8&s=music Baby Breeze("The Touch of your lips" version here might have been his greatest vocal ever, among other wonderful tunes: http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Breeze-Chet-Bak...TF8&s=music Chet Baker Plays for Lovers(brilliant compilation of Riverside recordings): http://www.amazon.com/Chet-Baker-Plays-Lov...TF8&s=music Do it the hard way(another fine Riverside compilation): http://www.amazon.com/Do-Hard-Way-Chet-Bak...TF8&s=music Career: 1952-1988(the best overview of his whole career): http://www.amazon.com/Career-1952-1988-Che...3621517?ie=UTF8 Now, with all the great music on the recordings above, anyone would see and hear that Chet was a genius performer of jazz who should be regarded as that.

Something about the new DVD here, among other interesting info on Chet: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...tainment/Music/ - Jostein

I think the Sidney Bechet and Muggsy Spanier sessions from 1940 are some of the greatest jazz ever. They are incredibly spirited. They are available on the CD "Up a lazy river": http://www.amazon.com/Up-Lazy-River-Sidney...TF8&s=music And this "Shake em up" has the whole sessions with Spanier: http://www.amazon.com/Shake-Em-Up-Sidney-B...TF8&s=music Also a fine collection: http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.120531 - Jostein

The "When You Wish upon a star" CD also has some fine singing: http://www.jackteagarden.com/shopping01.htm The Naxos Collection: Texas Tea Party has Jack's on vocal on 17 of the 18 selections. My favourite collection. http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.120585 My all-time favourite song by this great artist is "It's all in your mind" from the Verve CD: http://www.amazon.com/Mis-ry-Blues-Jack-Te...TF8&s=music Simply wonderful feeling.

Wut about this? Is this also a good one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...6498231-3451956 At least it has a cool cover..

Which album is it? - Jostein

In the book "Extended Play" by John Corbett it is mentioned on page 225 in an interview that John Coltrane was very impressed by Sun Ra's music in 1956. Pat Patrick and Sun Ra visited John Coltrane while he was staying at the Sutherland Hotel in 1956, and was showing him some new things they were working on. Sun Ra was pretty advanced harmonics wise already then. Pharaoh Sanders, who later recorded with Coltrane and also worked with him in 1959, was playing with Sun Ra in the 50's. - Jostein

Indianola Mississippi Seeds is great and in my opinion one of his best records! Just listen to "Chains and Things" with great singing and the whole song induced by that incredible B.B.King feeling. Blues 'n' Jazz is also a beautiful one. "Darling You know I love you" from this record must be one of his greatest vocals ever. Back in the Alley is a wonderful CD with late 60's recordings. Take it home with Crusaders is very fine. And There must be a... is a real classic. Maybe his best in the later years. - Jostein

My favourite is "Balade du 10 Mars": http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000IJC...v=glance&n=5174 Brilliant album. - Jostein
