So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

I feel another Ellington/Strayhorn binge on the horizon. 

Duke Ellington "The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse"

This is an album I have seen a few times in used record stores, but never in a decent enough condition to buy.  It's cool to finally give it a listen.  Sammy Nestico's charts  all awing nicely

Sun Ra "Continuation" Disc 2, unreleased material from the recording sessions of the (whacky) original Saturn LP.

Sound on these new officially released Ra sessions is really good.

An interesting grab-bag of tracks from the stockpile.

Saw this is to be reissued in Japan and realized I hadn't spun my copy in some time so I'm rectifying that. . . .

Philip Catherine/Neils-Henning Orsted Peterson "Art of the Duo" Enja cd

A fantastic quartet date, and the greatest surprise is the duo with Philly J.J. (Surrey with the Fringe on top).

The sides with JPJ are incredible, specially that "Sweet Mistreater"... and what about "Empty Bed Blues" with Charlie Green on trombone?

David Ayers commented on this recording in the What music did you buy today thread.   I have to agree with his assessment, this is truly one of the best pop albums I've heard in years.  https://www.moomin.com/en/blog/the-star-studded-lineup-for-the-moominvalley-tv-series-soundtrack-finally-revealed-tom-odell-mo-first-aid-kit-and-alma-featured/#ee6066fa

Disk A of this JSP set:

[jazzbo]

Benny Carter "The Alternate Takes in Chronological Order, Vol. 2" Neatwork cd

[HutchFan]

Last night and again this morning:

Stanley Turrentine - Let It Go (Impulse/GRP, 1966)

Continuing with my Stanley Turrentine / Shirley Scott listening-a-thon today.

I've decided that my favorites from the duo (so far) are this one -- Let It Go -- and Scott's Legends of Acid Jazz disc that compiles Hip Twist and Hip Soul.

But tomorrow is payday, and I'm planning to order a few more.
