“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt … she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard." Ella to Ms magazine.

I have that one and this one: I like this one a lot. I've had some others. . . but haven't kept them. I'll try more in time.

These are either 3 or 4 cd sets, complete shows for the most part. They are all essentially out of print--they were only issued once during the year to subscribers.

The Powell material is fantastic.

Immanuel Wilkins “The 7th Hand” Blue Note cd An excellent disc in every way.

I have no experience with the LP set as I rarely pick up modern LP releases, and generally ignore any LPs on Record Store Day. "Exclusive" to any release from a record company seems to just mean "right now this is the only place to get it." A day later it may be a different story! The timings are different on those two tracks between LPs and cd, but without comparing those could be for extraneous reasons. Anyway, I really enjoy the two cd set.

Jimmy Heath “Picture of Heath” Xanadu cd Bass – Sam Jones Drums – Billy Higgins Piano – Barry Harris Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone – Jimmy Heath

This was a great quartet! Ron Carter “Foursight: The Complete Stockholm Tapes” In & Out Records cd 1 Bass – Ron Carter Drums – Payton Crossley Piano – Renee Rosnes Tenor Saxophone – Jimmy Greene

Should be warmer today. . . which is good, have some work to do getting items in the root cellar ready for a "trash pickup for seniors" next. week. Starting off with another disc from this three cd set: Grateful Dead "Dave's Picks, Volume 14 (Academy Of Music, New York, NY • 3/26/72)" disc 2

Grateful Dead “Dave’s Picks Vol. 14” disc 3 Academy of Music, NYC March 26, 1972

Javon Jackson “For one who Knows” Blue Note cd This one has sat on the shelf too long since its last spin! Acoustic Guitar – Fareed Haque Bass – Peter Washington Drums – Billy Drummond Percussion – Cyro Baptiste Piano – Jacky Terrasson Tenor Saxophone – Javon Jackson 220×217 9.73 KB

I got a tracking number today. . . good news.

It took me a while to get around to the ECM titles of Dave Holland. I heard a few when they were first released and they just didn’t click with me, but the past few years I realize how vital and interesting they are. This one I like a lot! Dave Holland Quintet “Extended Play: Live at Birdland” ECM 2 cd set, disc 1 Chris Potter – soprano, alto and tenor saxophones Robin Eubanks – trombone Steve Nelson – vibraphone, marimba Billy Kilson – drums Dave Holland – double-bass Dave Holland Quintet recorded at the Birdland jazz club over four days in November 2001 and released by ECM in 2003 40

Solid Records Japan has released a lot of these on cd in the last few years. Good titles in good sound.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to mine.

I listened to the Stereo LP of “My Favorite Things” in the mono/stereo 2 LP package. It has taken me a long time over many years and many spins on cd, SACD and LP to really appreciate the disciplined focus of this album, and why it was a success and why it is a landmark release and was so responsible for Coltrane’s stardom. Now on to Ahmad Jamal “Emerald City Nights (Live At The Penthouse 1966-1968)” Elemental Music cd 2

Starting off a little warmer morning with a great cd. . . Tom Harrell “Alternate Summer” HighNote This reminds me a bit of “Filles de Kilimanjaro” and “Miles in the Sky”. . .which is high praise from me.

Duke Ellington “At the Bal Masque” Columbia cd 500×500 39.7 KB Although Duke’s Orchestra did do a stint at the Bal Masque in Miami, this is a studio album. Ray Nance really sounds good on this one. My cd version is from this box set: 296×300 17.5 KB
