The 6th Sonny Fortune album of the day.  I'll probably listen to the bite-sized (at ~32 minutes) Trip on the Strip for the third time today to conclude today's Fortune spree.  I have 4 more Fortune-led dates that will see some action in the coming days.

I'm listening to a Jimmy Smith jam session on Wolfgang's Vault.  The lineup: Clark Terry, Joe Newman, Illinois Jacquet, Zoot Sims, Kenny Burrell, B.B. King (on one track) and Roy Haynes.  Holy moly.

I've been playing about with my PS Audio P15 and its settings and power deliver TO it and have been using disc 2 of this lately oft-played set as the sound is so clear and dynamic and immediately familiar.

The DVD again.

Groovin' Blue was the first full-length album that Bobby Hutcherson appeared on.  

 

I'm now listening to more early (1962-63) Hutcherson sideman work:

Bobby Hutcherson - The Al Grey & Dave Burns Sessions (Lonehill)
Originally released as three Al Grey albums on Argo: Night Song, Snap Your Fingers, and Having a Ball

It's a rock-solid recommendation. You could do a lot worse!

Sometimes late 50s jazz really hits the spot and these two albums are doing just that. 

[HutchFan]

Bobby Hutcherson - Farewell Keystone (Theresa/Evidence)
with Harold Land (ts); Oscar Brashear (flgn, tr); Cedar Walton (p); Buster Williams (b); Billy Higgins (d)

Hard to imagine a more sympathetic ensemble.

Wish I could have been at the Keystone Korner to hear this one being made!

No doubt.  Both of those are wonderful.

I'll conclude the Blue Note trilogy today.  It's interesting that Sonny acquired the rights to reissue the three albums on his own.  It's pretty uncommon.  I already owned the three albums as a download and this album as a physical release.  However, a few months ago, I found a signed copy of the reissue box on eBay for a silly price (about 9 bucks).

I bought the box from Sonny at one of his last shows in Boston. He signed most of them that were bought that night.
