I really like the Blackhawk recordings as well. . . and listen for Miles as well as for Mobley and "the Trio." Interesting recordings as well. I have the originally released material on vinyl as well as the complete on cd.

"Jazzinho" (with Guida De Palma) cd I was falling asleep after a late night and had to get some blood flowing!

Yes, the remastering is really good, some albums are much better sounding.

I pre-ordered it and have listened to the whole box set. This is a great deal.

Mark Turner "Dharma Days" Warner Bros. cd

The Jack Kelly Trio "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" Jubilee/Roulette Japan cd The most Erroll Garner album that's not an Erroll Garner album.

"Zoot Sims plays Johnny Mandel" XRCD

Good points Aric.

Sun Ra "Continuation" disc 1

Teodross Avery "Harlem Stories: the music of Thelonious Monk"

"Jousts" Oscar Peterson & The Trumpet Kings

I was given this to read too, though I haven't gotten to it yet. I have read quite a bit along these lines. That said "Foreword by Graham Hancock" tells me a bit.

This one again, it is superb.

Tenorio Jr. "Embalo" Alto Saxophone – Paulo Moura Bass – José Antonio Alves*, Sergio Barroso Netto* Drums – Milton Banana, Ronnie (Roberto Ronal De Mesquita) Guitar – Celso Brando, Neco Percussion – Rubens Bassini Piano – Tenorio Jr. Tenor Saxophone – Hector Costita, Meirelles Trombone – Edson Maciel, Raulzinho Trumpet – Maurilio, Pedro Paulo

"Quartet Live" Concord Records cd, Gary Burton/Pat Metheny/Steve Swallow/Antonio Sanchez Meh. I'd like it better if it were a Burton Trio album. Followed by Paula Morelenbaum "Berimbaum" This is a favorite, and after some recent tube and settings changes, sounding better than ever! Modern and layered and dance invoking. Followed by Thelonious Monk, "Brilliant Corners," Keepnews Edition cd. Been too long. I just love this wild take of "Bemsha Swing" with Clark Terry and Sonny Rollins. Those two should have recorded over and over together!

"The Popular Duke Ellington" this time it's the Sony Legacy cd from Europe. Love this release!

"The Best of Duke Ellington" Portrait cd '50s and '60s small group tracks.

Duke Ellington "New Mood Indigo" CBS Special Products cd Duke, and some young Chick Corea too.

I was struggling with an urge to drown in Ellington music, and a want to listen to some Coltrane so settled on this. "Duke Ellington and John Coltrane" Analogue Productions SACD

Duke Ellington "Piano in the Background" Columbia cd I don't play this one often enough. . . .

He accompanied Walt Dickerson And co-led here

The Jazz Modes (Les Jazz Modes) "Most Happy Fella" Warner Japan Followed by Sun Ra "The Cymbals/Symbols Sessions" 2 cd set, Disc 2

Sidney Bechet "1950" Chronogical Classics cd

"The Music of Wayne Shorter" Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Disc 1 "Hammerhead" is a stand out track.

Duke Ellington "The Latin American Suite" OJC cd Been too long since I played this. I feel an Ellington binge on the horizon. . . .
