Yes, it seems too good to be true but let's hope. I pre-ordered four a few months ago. . . I didn't order "Lou Takes Off" as I have two fantastic sounding versions of that one.

“The Complete Peggy Lee & June Christy Capitol Transcription Sessions” Mosaic Records disc III Peggy Lee sides with “Four of a Kind” which contains the excellent guitar styling of her then husband Dave Barbour. Love this music.

Jackie and Roy “Concerts by the Sea” Koch cd More Jackie and Roy with vibes on board.

Started off with Count Basie Trio “For the First Time.” This is an exceptional session with Ray Brown and Louie Bellson, and the recording is great with a cool stereo effect on the organ tracks.

IF that's true, I don't think this is one of them. I really like the Mingus flavor to a chunk of this one.

David Murray “MX” Red Baron cd, dedicated to Malcolm X. David Murray - tenor saxophone Ravi Coltrane - tenor saxophone Bobby Bradford - cornet John Hicks - piano Fred Hopkins - bass Victor Lewis - drums Recorded September 25, 1992, NYC

More Jackie and Roy. . . with vibes. And a percussionist. Jackie and Roy "East of Suez" Concord cd

The recordings (besides the live set not commercially recorded) occurred because Pete Rugolo in his capacity as an A&R agent for Capitol Records heard a performance and made the recording of the 78s possible with the label. It's possible had that not happened we wouldn't be talking about the music. I always assumed that with Gil Evans as his solid man at his back Miles just muscled his way into the leadership. I honestly got the feeling years ago from my immersion in Miles from Parker onwards that this was a concerted and dedicated effort for Miles to respond to the urgings of his ego and come out from under the shadow of Parker and make an impact on the genre, spear-heading a possible new movement of the music. I suspected that he seized the moment to be a leader on record dates with a name attached. Just seems to suit the notion I have of Miles' ego and drive of the time. And with Gil as one of the important arrangers and I suspect conductor and fellow-organizing catalyst in his corner it happened. I've never seen a more detailed account of Capitol's deciding to fix the leadership to Miles.

Started off with this one again. It has so much going for it and the closing Minnie Ripperton cover gets me every time. Now on to Ella Fitzgerald "This is the Blues" Verve cd.

This wiki article will be helpful I believe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_of_the_Cool

One of my favorite Monday albums. Monday Michiru "Recollections"

Or "Good King {What's his Name}" which is not a dissimilar tune.

Miles Davis "Circle in the Round" CBS/Sony 2 cd set (from the "Complete Columbia Albums" box) disc 1 Listening particularly to the title track, which is a fascinating lengthy piece.

Ricky Riccardi

Revisiting this one. A great chill pill. Olivia Byington "Cancao do Amor Demais--Canta Tom e Vinicius"

Dunno, haven't found any specific info nor do I know if he recorded more with the WDR. Perhaps he was touring with an American band and Carmen pegged him for that chair?

Carmen McRae and the WDR Big Band "Dream of life" Qwest cd This is swinging me through the morning. Drums – John Von Ohlen Edited By [Digital Edited] – Ruth Witt Engineer – Otto Fries Executive-Producer – John Clayton (tracks: John Clayton, Jr.), Quincy Jones Executive-Producer, Mixed By, Engineer – Wolfgang Hirschmann Liner Notes – Herb Wong Mastered By – Bernie Grundman Piano – Eric Gunnison Saxophone – Harald Rosenstein, Heiner Wiberny, Olivier Peters, Rolf Römer Trombone – Bernt Laukamp, Dave Horler, Henning Berg, Roy Deuvall Trumpet – Klaus Osterloh, Rick Kiefer Vocals – Carmen McRae Recorded at WDR Studios, Cologne, Germany, June 21 to 24, 1989

Welcome Jack! Glad you are posting! Right now Jackie and Roy "High Standards" Concord cd I like these Jackie and Roy albums with vibes.

The small group sessions with Sarah on Roulette are very nice.

"Loaded" Savoy/Denon 20 bit LP facsimile cd Great sound on any of the Savoy/Denon cds.
