Started listening to the Basie material over the past weekend ... but somehow wasn't in the mood for swing (mood swings?) ... but yeah, looking forward a lot!

Regarding if the Waller material is good or not, I'm curious ... I've got the JSP sets around but haven't dug into them too deeply yet, and when playing the Waller from the previously available DLs, I found it just right, though certainly not among the highlights (how about Hawkins's "Body and Soul"!?!)

Disc 1 of this set, which finally arrived today:

This afternoon’s project - to crack open this one with a beer.

I've listened through disc 2 and the John Kirby cuts are a revelation, the best so far (for me anyway).

And enjoying it a lot!

I enjoy this set, but frankly, can understand that the first session in the set was not released at the time. Some of Tommy Turrentine's and Horace Parlan's playing on Comin' Your Way sounds a bit strange, harmonically, to my ears. 

Jubilee Shout is great (had the Blue Note twofer LP for a while and liked it back then); Another Story is nice but not overwhelming. Wanted to have that for Thad Jones. Looking forward to the rest.

‘Another Story’ is a real favourite of mine - very nice sounding album.

I love to hear Hall behind Brookmeyer or the other way round (even with Brookmeyer on piano). And The street swingers is the pick in the lot included here. At least to me.

I had all the LP's back in the day, but it's nice to become reacquainted with this music.

Disc 4. Not too big on the Glenn Miller selections. Only three, fortunately.

The Jimmy Giuffre 3, from the Capitol/Atlantic box, programmed in the original track order. Just gorgeous.

The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet, also from the Mosaic big box, and also programmed in the original track order, which is the only way this album makes sense.

Nice one Jeff.   The JImmy Giuffre Clarinet was one of my first buys back in the day.

Two very different albums from the Larry Young Blue Note box: Contrasts and Grant Green's I Want to Hold Your Hand.

I haven’t given it much thought but I wonder how many jazz versions there are of Beatie songs (having recently listened to Organissimo’s album).
