T.D. Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) CDs arrived today. [Added after listening] Pretty good haul! On the pleasant surprise front, Don Ewell just kills it on the Denver Concert album (I already had two Ewell CDs), and the Teddy Wilson Keystone Transcriptions disc is really good. The only disappointment: as much as I dig Duke Jordan's playing in a group, his One for the Library solo CD is rather lackluster. Edited February 9, 2008 by T.D.

But then I have the Mosaic plus some of his earlier sessions (Classics, cheapo comps, plus all the sides with Billie Holiday). The Jordan has a rather sad/ironic title, no? He did a loooooong series of albums (most were on Steeplechase, no? I only have one or two, including a nice trio one with Wilbur Little and Roy Haynes), and who was going to buy the all, except some libraries with too much $$ to spend?
