It´s one of the best albums of the first half of the 60´s, one of my favourite BN albums. One of those I enjoy most.

One of my favourite bop albums. And it´s very interesting to hear that completly different approaches between the session with Bud and that with Lewis and J.J.  with "Afternoon in Paris" on it. Two different moods and both of them really fantastic stuff. 
We had a short discussion maybe a bit OT on "Jazz Literature" were I stated that I like Bud most together with horn players and some, first of all Mr. Mark Stryker disagreed but Mr. Stryker made also a statement that this Prestige LP is some of Bud´s best. 
Stitts tenor is fantastic on both sides....

Lots of people in Philly, at this club. This is a document of that. Pretty cool.

Charles Mingus would have been 100 today. (My dad will be 90 tomorrow!)

Had to play this and boy does this cd sound great!

Mingus Ah Um Mobile Fidelity Labs SACD

[jazzbo]

Miles Davis "Round About Midnight" Sony K2 HD cd

Been too long since I played this one. 

[John Tapscott]

[Peter Friedman]

You would not know it from looking at the cover, but Benny Goodman plays on many tracks. 

[jazzbo]

Aretha Franklin "Spirit in the Dark" Atlantic cd 

From this box set, "The Atlantic Recordings"

I was going to say this is the best Aretha Franklin album on Atlantic. . . well from 1970. . . but no there's another one and. . . well they're all so damned good. What a catalog!

 I thought I had most/all of Zoot's early releases, until I came across this one. Thanks Dusty Groove!

 

[jazzbo]

Barney Wilen "La Note Bleue" 2 cd set, disc 1

[jazzbo]

Charles Mingus/Hampton Hawes/Dannie Richmond "Trio" Jubilee/Atlantic 2 cd deluxe set released today.

Just in time for Mingus' birthday!

Sounds quite nice. Probably better than previous editions. Mingus is prominently recorded. Second disc has alternates and two tracks of a previously not released piece.
