Benny Goodman - Plays World Favorites in High-Fidelity (Westinghouse). A very good band BG assembled for the 1958 Brussels Worlds Fair, with Roland Hanna, Zoot Sims, and Taft Jordan, among others.

Edmond Hall - Celestial Express (Blue Note)

Wynton Marsalis - J Mood (Columbia)

Sometimes Wynton sounds just fine, and this is certainly one of his most organic performances, but I can dig him in machine mode as well. Great band, too.

Charles Davis - Super 80 - Nilva

I feel like I've been listening to 'Hi fly' all bloody day. It was on the Philly Joe LP I played this morning, then on the Cannonball in San Francisco CD I played just after lunch, then on this!!!

Lonesome Sundown - Been gone too long - Joliet (P-Vine)

Albert Collins - Don't lose your cool - Alligator (Sonet UK)

Interesting choices of material in both those LPs. COllins does Oscar Brown Jr's 'But I was cool' and Sundown does WIlliam Bell's 'You don't miss your water'.

Modern Jazz Festival (Harmony). A very interesting 1957 collection, on Columbia's budget label - the record is molded plastic, not pressed vinyl. There are tracks by Joe Puma (with a very young Steve Lacy), Randy Weston, Paul Quinichette, Zoot Sims, Tony Scott, The Jazz Modes, and Mat Mathews.

Ralph Sutton - Piano Moods (Columbia 10")

Those "injection molded" lps were made of a very brittle plastic called styrene.

Snooks Eaglin - Down Yonder (GNP Crescendo). Recorded at two sessions in 1977: Paul Secor's birthday and my birthday. Snooks had recorded R & B singles and blues albums to this point, but this was his first full-length New Orleans R & B album. Ellis Marsalis is on piano.

Jazz of the Connecticut Traditional Jazz Club #11 (CTJC). The CTJC used to record their concerts and issue highlights on LPs - there are at least 18 of them. Some of the recordings have shown up on Jazz Crusade, but as far as I know, the tracks on this album aren't available anywhere else. Side one has five 1974 tracks by the Onward Brass Band, with Louis Cottrell, Frog Joseph, Teddy Riley, Danny Barker, etc. Side two is split between Clyde Bernhardt's Harlem Blues & Jazz Band and Gene Mayl's Dixieland Rhythm Kings.

I once passed on the volume that had outtakes of the sessions for Capt. John Handy's second RCA album, because of some slight concern over condition. I was an idiot.
