Now that I've seen so many pictures of Morgan after the unfortunate burnt scalp incident, I wonder if that's why the top of his head is cropped out of this picture?

ha lol

Nice to revisit this set which includes so many of my favorite performers.  The stand out track for me this time out -- "Viva Tirado"!  Man, it's actually been years since I last heard that one.  I loved hearing it again so much, I played it three times through!

 

Thanks once more for the Info on this box which arrived today from BERLIN (Germany)  at a reasonable price.

Superb music .... two of these musicians left us within the last couple of days .... Stanley Cowell + Ron Mathewson     R.I.P ....

[Referentzhunter]

Swans - My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky

 

[HutchFan]

Duke Ellington - Hot Summer Dance (Red Baron)

This version of "Paris Blues" kills me.  Extraordinary piano from Duke.  No one else can play with such luminous nonchalance.  Nobody.

Classic time

First, Jackie McLean & the Great Jazz Trio with New Wine in Old Bottles. Then...

Duke's Piano in the Foreground.

Absolutely! 

That Duke is one that I neglected for a while since it wasn't small group or full orchestra. For some stupid reason I didn't think I'd enjoy his trio work...100% wrong. It's gorgeous.

This was my first exposure to Morgan and many of the musicians here when I bought it 13 or 14 years ago.  Not a bad place to start.

One of the benefits of having Xmas Hols coming up is that one can dip into fine box sets such as these two. I don’t play the Johnny Smith anywhere near enough.
