It's a really nice set, and that's a great price.

Duke Ellington “Jazz Greats” cd All J.R.T. Davies transfers and mastering.

600×595 79.2 KB “The Eddie Davis Cookbook Vol. 2” Prestige/Craft Records cd From this new box set

Joe Turner “In the evening” OJC CD

Yes, but . . . Recorded live on the Carhartt Amphitheater Stage at the 2017 Detroit Jazz Festival.

It's probably already on its way; the last few times I have not received shipping notices and I either just got them or had to bug Fred a little and got them without shipping notices.

Bob Dylan “Fragments, Bootleg Series Vol. 17” Finally onto disc 3, which is fantastic, and the disc is defective, skipping at the end (the fantastic alternate of “Highlands”) on three players/transports) so I have to get a replacement. Sigh. Great disc in a great set! On to Gary McFarland “America The Beautiful (An Account Of Its Disappearance)” Skye Records/DCC cd Well, I remember why I don’t listen to this that often but also ERIC GALE! He’s the highlight. 600×600 119 KB

A blast from the past, rejuvenated. Jethro Tull “Thick as a Brick” cd/dvd Steven Wilson edition 1000×1000 141 KB Benefit/Aqualung/Thick as a Brick is a trifecta of Tull for me.

I would contact them and be certain they aren't expecting you to re-order because of the credit card hold issue they had.

Jean-Michel Proust “Harlem Nocturne” cd I discovered Proust via his two volumes “for” Barney Wilen, and really like this one. Like Yusef Lateef’s “Part of the Search” this one seems to be scanning on radio (of the past) or “Casablanca” and then landing on a tune–different ones than Lateef might–aided by a young son. Good music, well-recorded.

Not really a reissue I guess, newly discovered recordings to be released March 2: https://dottimerecords.bandcamp.com/album/at-the-swing-cats-ball-2 Wow!

Another June Christy because I pulled a handful from the shelves. "June's Got Rhythm" Capitol/TOCJ Records Japan cd Great band! Bass – Monty Budwig Drums – Mel Lewis, Shelly Manne Flute – George Spelvin Guitar – Laurindo Almeida

“Classic Jazz at the Philharmonic Jam Sessions (1950-1957)” Mosaic Records, disc VII

I woke up with some of this music in my head for some reason, so I pulled this from the shelves. Bob Dylan “Street Legal” Blu-Spec CD2 Sony Japan 580×571 121 KB

Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis / Johnny Griffin “Pisces” OJC cd Recorded for Riverside on May 3, 1962 but never issued until this cd. Could be because of the darned celeste. 680×680 60.2 KB

Great deal, it's a very fine release.

Leon Thomas “Full Circle” Flying Dutchman cd Not your typical Leon Thomas album, but it has that Friday thang goin’ on. … . The Santana tune is great.

Miles Davis “E.S.P.” Mobile Fidelity SACD This one is waking me up.

+1

I only know of the 2015 Japan cd, When Warner acquired Roulette Japan released three dozen or so Roulette titles--all sound excellent. I bought most of them.

I love this--have it on LP and cd. Ben!

“Gary McFarland’s Latin Lounge” Verve cd Came in the mail from discogs.com Didn’t know that this existed til last week. I love this music!
