Cootie Williams "1945-1946" Chronogical Classics cd Picked this up last month--haven't heard most of this ever before. It's rougher around the edges than the Ellington Orchestra and a bit more R&Bish. I'm digging it.

Oscar Castro-Neves "Tropical Heart" A nice warm chill pill for a cold fall morning.

John McLaughlin "After the Rain" Verve Japan SHM-CD

"Cootie Williams 1941-1944" Chronogical Classics cd Some great stuff with Bud, Cleanhead and Lockjaw (in minor roles) that I have never heard before.

Peggy Lee "World Broadcast Recordings 1955" Audiophile Records, 2 cd set, disc 1 Could wish for a bit livelier mastering perhaps, but I love Peggy during this time period a lot, and this is good stuff.

Elvin Jones "The Prime Element" Blue Note Japan UHQCD 2022 Disc 1 So great that this 2 LP set is now on cd from Japan as a 2 cd set.

Jose James "Yesterday I had the Blues: the Music of Billie Holiday" Blue Note Japan SHM-CD (2022 reissue) This is one of those rare releases that I didn't think I would fall in love with when it was first released but I did and I still think it's both a great slab of music and a great recording.

Lee Morgan "Complete Live at the Lighthouse" Japan cd edition Disc 3

Egberto Gismini "Musica De Sobrevivencia" ECM cd

Perfect English! And I agree--I'd love to hear this, would buy a cd.

Carmen McRae "Book of Ballads" . . .what a wonderful record.

One of my favorite discs in the Chronogical Classics series of cd releases: "George Wettling 1940-1944"

Birthday boy. His mother called him Bill. ReplyClose

Joyce "Natureza" . . . a true "lost album" out at last 45 years later. . . and wow.

Hardly got any listening in over the holiday and yesterday because my wife had a lot of time off and had a long list of things for me to do. Got most of them done. Starting off with a favorite I just can't keep out of the player for too long. "Secret Ellington" Now onto a release by Raulzinho I did not know of til last week!

The only one I really regret buying is the Cleveland Eaton.
