Superb music!

 

When I first heard Mingus at Antibes, I knew I had to hear MORE of Booker Ervin's music.

So I found this . . . which is that . . . plus some. :)

Don Lewis - The Colour of Time: Lewis owned a jazz club in Milwaukee and was killed by an employee in 2016.  I made a mental note to check out his music and recently bought his The Other Side of Town.  Talk about tone!  If you played a track from of his on a blindfold test, jaws would drop.  His sound was gorgeous.

Disc 4 & 5.  Very much a mixed bag.  I enjoyed Disc 4 ,which contains her Latin album and her Mancini songbook album.  Disc 5, however, is another matter.  It is made up of albums consisting of covers of pop tunes of the day.  It's painful to hear the glorious instrument that was Ms. Vaughan's voice used on such material as "I Know A Place", "Everybody Loves Somebody" and "One, Two, Three" (yes, the very same Tommy James & the Shondells hit).  Even "Waltz For Debbie", one of my favorite tunes, gets turned into dreck here.
