I hope you play Manhattan Memories featuring my old friend and influence guitarist Eddie Diehl. It also has Jamil Nasser and Frank Gant. Terrible sound, good music. BTW the title tune is actual Eddie's and is called Be-Bu, written for organist Bu Pleasant. he recorded it under his own name on a CD called "Well, Here it Is..." (featuring Hank Jones, and a nice date also).

Strings Attached with Jimmy Raney is excellent, too. Also an old (Folkways?) trio date called "Jazz Will-o-the Wisp"

Al Haig, like Hampton Hawes, was a pianist that came out of bebop proudly, but never stopped listening and absorbing.

Well, Joel, here's hoping you get some high speed in your life so you can hear Jazz From Blue Lake From time to time.

Going full circle tonight by featuring Hank Jones on his 91st birthday. Haig's approach was a major attraction to Jones moving into bebop in the 40's. The last time we featured Jones the first set included music where he accompanied Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young and then Charlie Parker. Tonight I think we're going to start his recordings with James Moody and maybe touch on his recordings with Lucky Thompson and 'Trane and then go from there.
