In from Japan yesterday, and certainly not cheap, but. . . stereo tapes from the Half Note March and April 1965. I’ve never heard these before. 600×593 48.2 KB 1002×787 120 KB

Before I bring this one back to the shelves I’ll spin it again. Beautiful album! Harry Allen “Something about Jobim” 600×529 12.8 KB

Now on to disc 2. Still thinking about MLK after reading some email correspondence with my Dad about him. Back to top

Kenny Burrell Trio "12*15*78 -- Live at the Village Vanguard" 32 Jazz Records, disc 1

“The Complete April 1957 Riverside Recordings of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane” disc 2 The remastering on this set is wonderful. And the music . . .keep revealing details to me listening after listening.

All eleven volumes are great!

Carmen Lundy "Jazz & The New Songbook – Live At The Madrid" disc 2. I discovered that Lucy like this . . . so I need to find more Carmen Lundy. This is great for a windy Sunday morning.

This sat in the shelves a long time since my last playing. I pulled it out waiting for her most recent one (“Aire”) to arrive and am happy to be playing it this morning. Ms Herrera is quite an artist. Magos Herrera “Whispering Orchids/Orquideas Sussurrantes”

1m 600×600 76 KB Horace Silver “The Stylings of Silver” Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG lp facsimile cd. Boy does this sound good this morning.

An excellent series of multi-disc volumes from Sweden. I have them all, they are all great listens. Svensk Jazz Historia “Watch Out! Swedish Jazz Volume 10, 1965-1969,” Caprice Records, disc 3

1m Milt Jackson Sextet “Invitation” Riverside Records/OJC cd It’s been too long since I played this–a great session. Milt Jackson – vibes Kenny Dorham, Virgil Jones - trumpet Jimmy Heath - tenor saxophone Tommy Flanagan - piano Ron Carter - bass Connie Kay - drums

Miki Yamanaka “Songs without Lyrics” cd I ordered two cds from Miki directly to complete my collection of her work, and received both personally autographed and with a long personal note from Miki. That was very nice!

The Peaceful side of Billy Strayhorn" Capitol cd Lovely music.

Interesting. I like this better than many of the albums he released about this time. Now playing

Charles Mingus “Me, Myself an Eye” Atlantic cd 640×640 71.5 KB From this box set:

Eddie Condon Town Hall Concerts, Volume 4, Jazzology Records LP 2 Eddie and his “co-workers” working hard. Great stuff. Especially happy to hear Ernie Caceres.

“The Complete Verve Recordings Of The Buddy De Franco Quartet / Quintet With Sonny Clark” Mosaic Records LP box set, record 1. Rudy Van Gelder mastered this set and it sounds very good. A year ago I tried to sell this set as I have the cd version as well and have always listened to that, no one seemed interested. I’m glad I’ve kept it.

This was a fun release. The past entries in this series were good as well. Here’s hoping perhaps there will be more. Donald Byrd “Live at Montreux” Blue Note cd

I played this one (arrived in the mail today) twice–it was such an energetic and bold and clear session and recording. I wanted to hear details again. Dannie Richmond Quintet “Dionysius” Red Records cd 2023 Then on to one pulled from the shelves, Kurt Rosenwinkle, “The Enemies of Energy” Verve cd. I like the music. . . his guitar tone. . . not as much. 800×600 70.1 KB

No, it is not an ESP record. Info here: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/pharoah-sanders-pharoah/
