Duke Ellington “An Explosion Of Genius 1938-1940” Columbia Special Products/Smithsonian Collection. Record 1, 1938 These records (I also have them in the 2 LP sets for each year) sound phenomenal. And the music is so intriguing.

Miles Davis “My Funny Valentine” Sony Blu-Spec CD2

Moving on to something different. . . my original release LP of Jerry Garcia Band “Cats Under the Stars”. . . a favorite.

Starting a cold morning off with the warm and wise voice of Andy Bey. Andy Bey “Ballads, Blues and Bey” 301×300 21.3 KB

He's really good on this excellent one: https://www.discogs.com/release/14658196-Bobby-Gordon-2-Jon-Erik-Kellso-Dan-Barrett-3-Rick-Fay-Johnny-Varro-Marty-Grosz-Bob-Haggart-Gene-Este and this one as a leader is very good imo: https://www.discogs.com/release/7645858-Dan-Barrett-Dan-Barretts-International-Swing-Party I really like him here as well: https://www.discogs.com/release/17253637-Johnny-Varro-Swing-7

That's amazing that you tried that. Dan Barrett is the only one I know of that really succeeded at that. Tea was an astonishing musician. One of those dearest to my listening heart.

I believe you are correct on all accounts there. I have the mono and stereo LPs and the Teagarden family release on cd. I'm a Teagarden nut.

I have all those Bud Freeman Chronogical Classics--great music! “Bill Evans in England” Resonance Records 2 cd set, disc 1 I haven’t played this one in a while, and as a new RSD release (I go for the cd that comes out usually a week afterwards) is due, it seemed a good pick to start this cold morning (snow on the ground again!) I see a Bill Evans recording and get a sense I know it. . . and each time I do listen I find surprises, big and little, in the performance, arrangement, sound. . . a great thing. Especially it seems lately as the system shines so brightly.
