European jazz from the same time West Coast Jazz was made. Spurred in interest by another thread here I got this, although I already own a lot of Hipp. I tried my local bookstore to get it but to no avail (it's a record label product not a bookpublishers. I suspect it may have something to do with that). Then I tried a record store and they could get it but more expensive than from Bear Family direct. And that's the way I prefer doing things. Buy it straight from the source. I bought it and it was delivered within a week.

Nice cover. With Sal Salvador, guitar and Eddie Costa on piano.

With Charlie Christian and Lionel Hampton on drums on the session I'm listening to now.

Completely agree with that argument.

Anoher superb example of the combination I like so much: Byrd with Pepper Adams and Duke Pearson.

Listening to the Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh album now.

Kenton presents some of his men, with all-star personnel, with Bud Shank playing bari. At least in the first two sessions.

Discs 7 and 6. I'm beginning from the back this time.

A mighty nice one

Completely agree.

Enjoying the quintet session now with Frank Foster and Freeman Lee.

The West Coast Classics edition. A beatiful album.

Hall with Carl Perkins, a pianist I like very much, and Red Mitchell on bass.

Very nice!

Arrived finally this week (it had to cross the pond after all). Next weekend it will be the Eddie Condon set I ordered with this set.

Penguin by design by Phil Baines. Published in 2005 at its 70 birthday, this is a narration of the story of this imprint's design lead life, being one of the first in concentrating on paperbacks. It has taken me more than ten years to read this but its worth every bit.

This release puts together the Norvo trios with Mingus and Farlow with another great bebop session with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Flip Phillips and Teddy Wilson.

The Goodman Sextet was so good! Either with Fletcher Henderson, Johnny Guarneri or Basie.

I heard that yesterday night at the news. The same day that Jeanne Moreau passed! Listening to Annie I'm not your daddy by Kid Creole and the Coconuts now.

A great issue.

A powerful and mellow First Testament band.

A real treasure trove. At least for me. Lots of good guitar. There's even one (actually two, recorded on succeeding days) West Coast Jazz meets Tal Farlow session, with Bob Enevoldsen, Bill Perkins and Bob Gordon on the horns.
