Last night: some of the first Hodges Mosaic

Now: Oliver Nelson, disc 3 (the Lunceford song with Shirley Scott is great!)

[jazzbo]

Johnny Smith, disc 3

I was going to put on the Eldridge as it's been discussed here lately, but I saw the Smith and that beautiful guitar sound just went off in my head and I had to play it.

Now: Oliver Nelson, disc 3 (the Lunceford song with Shirley Scott is great!)

disc 4 - the Kenney stuff is weird, but now Russell is wailing! (Well, stuttering, muttering...)

[sidewinder]

Count Basie Complete Roulette Studio, LP 15. Schmokin' !

[king ubu]

Now: Oliver Nelson, disc 3 (the Lunceford song with Shirley Scott is great!)

disc 4 - the Kenney stuff is weird, but now Russell is wailing! (Well, stuttering, muttering...)

Went straight to the end with it yesterday - great one! The album with Pee Wee Russell is a highlight!

The organ stuff with Smith is great, that very first number off "Bashin'" is amazing! How it builds with the big band and lays out a mostrously grooving carpet for Smith to enter - and then, BANG! here he is!

Still I regret a bit having bits and pieces of various albums... (at least I have that Ray Brown/Milt Jackson twofer to complete that album, and of course also "Bashin'" - of the Smith/Wes material I only have the VME of the first album, never had the second...)

Dexter Gordon Select, disc 1

[blajay]

Herbie Nichols--Complete Blue Note, Side V

He really was the bridge between Monk and Andrew Hill I needed. But he is also so much more than that. One tune he'll flash through complex runs I had only heard in bop from early Bud Powell, and the next he's trudging around some minor beat like Monk. If only he hadn't died so young...

Lionel Hampton Victors disc 4

Helen Forrest's vocal on "I don't stand a ghost of a chance" is really getting me this morning.

J.J. Johnson: The Complete Columbia Small Group Sessions (discs 1 and 2)

This is beautiful music: superbly arranged by J.J. (he is one of the masters of small group arranging, his charts for two horns and rhythm are nothing short of perfect), flawlessly executed and always swinging. This is music you can lsiten to again and again.
