Revisiting this one this iced-in morning:

[Stompin at the Savoy]

The other day I snagged surprisingly inexpensive (and in beautiful shape) copies of this and the Herman Capitol box.  Swinging.  And wacky!  Some throwaway songs but some great arrangements and soloing.

An afternoon of Mosaics, whilst reading Larry Kart’s book.

CD5, ‘Merry Go Round’. Splendid stuff.

The other day I listened to Sonny Rollins' trio A Night at the Village Vanguard after reading about Elvin Jones in Mark Stryker's Jazz from Detroit. I wasn't even aware of him there.

Edit: what Kart book is that?
