Disc 1 of 2.  This 2 disc set collects 4 1955 broadcasts recorded at Basin St. for NBC.  The sound is decent if not spectacular.  They played a particularly lively version of "Struttin'" on the second broadcast included on Disc 1 and Billy Kyle had a nice feature on "Blue Moon".

I like that set.

What do you think of it, ghost? 

I've not heard Origami Harvest, but I've enjoyed Akinmusire's other records.

Mickey Tucker - Mister Mysterious (Muse, 1979)

Listening to this music, the first thing I notice: Cecil McBee is a badass. Phew!!! I dig. 

... And not just McBee. The whole band is superb, and this is an excellent record.

It's an interesting record--I had to go after the first three tracks and am just now getting back to tracks 4-6.  Kool A.D.'s raps are hit-and-miss for me on it (there's one particular sexual refrain that seems gratuitous and that I could really do without) and I wish that there was more of Akinmusire's trumpet (I, too, am a fan), but I like the blend of string quartet and trumpet and (when they work) the vocal parts.  More a showcase for Akinmusire as a composer than anything else.
