Mingus Big Band “I am Three”

Freddie Hubbard “Blue Spirits” 85th Anniversary UHQCD Blue Note Japan

I'm tempted by all of them on cd. In time I think we'll see more info on ordering cds. So far I've found the Rollins and Tatum.

Wes Montgomery And The Wynton Kelly Trio “Maximum Swing” Resonance Records disc 2 800×800 87.9 KB

Mel Powell “It’s Been so Long” Vanguard cd To include the title of a Cannoball album, this is “sophisticated swing” indeed. I almost have all of Powell on Vanguard in one form or another. Great music.

His initial post is a link to the Hoffman board thread he started.

Mingus Big Band “Que Viva Mingus!–Largely Latin” This one will get the system dancing. 600×593 144 KB

Bobby Hutcherson "San Francisco" 85th Anniversary UHQCD Blue Note Japan Okay, this one is definitely an improvement over the previous Japanese and US cd versions.

A SOLID one.

I've been surprised that not only are there more albums than I thought I would find with a wikipedia page, but also that they generally/most of the time do reveal the release date.

1m 800×800 166 KB Cannonball Adderley “Sophisticated Swing” disc 1 Great 2 cd set compiling Mercury albums by Julian and Nat.

I too can imagine that happening to my collection. I have copies of all the cds you've mentioned.

Mingus Big Band “Live in Tokyo–at the Blue Note”

I watched that today as well and I enjoyed it and really enjoyed that Lucy enjoyed it.

The Dallas Heavy Support Center "Look out it's the Sheriff!" Gatefold LP reissue

Ray Bryant Trio “Con Alma” Columbia/Sony Blu-Spec CD2 2023 This is a fantastic piano trio album in EVERY way. Followed by “Meet Ray Bryant and Betty Carter” Columbia cd Which includes the material on this later LP Mmmmm… . . Betty Carter

I believe it. . .all that I have heard from Westminster is excellent sounding.

I’m listening to this disc yet again, I’m stuck here for now in this box set. The dynamics in this 'fifties mono recording keep impressing me. And the music really connects me lately. I’ll move forward in this box set soon.

Charlie Byrd “My Inspiration–Music of Brazil” Trio daPaz! MAUCHA ADNET!

I've had this "Blow Up" for a long time although it's been in storage about ten years. It was not recorded by Blue Note hence it was not released at the time. I remember it sounding live, all of it. . . but I have heard it in some time. Good music.

From the February batch of Blue Note Japan’s 85th Anniversary UHQCD series mastered by Kevin Gray. Stanley Turrentine–featuring Shirley Scott “Common Touch” with Jimmy Ponder and Idris Muhammed (here as Leo Morris) from 1968

Vinicius De Moraes Songbook, Vol. 2

Mary Lee’s Corvette “Blood on the Tracks” Something a little different for me–a 2002 live recording covering Dylan’s album. A pretty straight-forward interpretation, nice to hear. One of my brothers would love this. . I’ve ordered him a copy. I always thought a line from “Idiot Wind” resonates wth me “I can’t help it if I’m lucky.” She does a good renditon of “Idiot Wind” here.
