Big bad thunderstorm at about 1 a.m. and I was up with an upset dog for a while. No rain now, a bit warmer, hopefully it will be a nice day. Starting off with J.J. Johnson “Origin–The Savoy Sessions” Savoy Jazz cd. I’m a fan of Savoy material. Important ealy bebop.

Yes.

Kurt Elling "1619 Broadway – The Brill Building Project" Concord cd

Another Harrell by the same quintet, Tom Harrell “Roman Nights” on High Note cd Nine Harrell originals, some fiery playing and mellow moments.

Tom Harrell "Number Five" High Note cd The fifth High Note release of this excellent quintet!

“Chick Corea & Origin A Week at the Blue Note” disc 1

Staring off with “Black Art Jazz Collective: Presented By The Side Door Jazz Club.” Quite a band!

I agree. Today the mail came. And with it a second package from The Lost Recordings with the Coltrane and the Getz Zardi's UHQCD sets. I think my second order was not canceled as it was said to be. Sigh. Worse problems are possible!

“Stan Getz at Zardi’s” The Lost Recordings 2 UHQCD set, UHQCD 2 Great sound, great playing. It just amazes me how inventive Stan can be, how masterful his bebop is and also how swinging his flow is, and how beautiful the sound he produces.

“Stan Getz at Zardi’s” The Lost Recordings 2 UHQCD set, UHQCD 2 Great sound, great playing.

Eddie Bert “Kaleidoscope” Fresh Sound cd Reissues mostly Discovery sides, recorded before Discovery was sold to Savoy and before Bert recorded for Savoy. Pretty neat stuff, most of which have Duke Jordan on piano and many of which have Sal Salvador on guitar, and one of which is the very first recording of drummer Joe Morello.
