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.
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 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.
