I’m spinning this disc one more time.

Count Basie “April in Paris” Verve

 

I don´t have the Basie version but I think I heard a version with Thad Jones starting his solo a semitone up (Db) quoting "Pops goes the Weasel" , quite a trademark. 
I think I heard it on a Thad Jones small group album with the same gimmick that seemed to be a trademark.

Terry Callier - 'What Color Is Love'.  "Dancing Girl" from this moves me in ways nothing else does, and it's probably the single song (any artist) I have played most frequently over the past decade.  There are times, often late at night, where I have to here it, nothing else will do.

I can understand that. Such a very special tune on a very special album

Never heard of this one. Looks to be long gone too. How's the sound?

I'm listening to a live gig of Chicago tenor player Ron Dewar with Lin Halliday.

How is this one? It looks like quite a promising mix of musicians.

I was a bit underwhelmed, but was nevertheless engaged and entertained

First listen to this in over a decade. I am less into it than I was. The rhythms, which were exactly what I liked about it, seem very dated and 1990s now.

Don't have that one but revisited the Rivbea Mosaic Select last week and felt the same - underwhelmed. It'll be a while before I play those again.

Thanks. Great sound there. I'll have to try and get my hands on it. Does anyone know where I can buy this? I'd even pay for a good download at this point. I'd actually prefer a download since there were only 300 CDs made so a physical copy would probably cost more than I'm willing to pay.

The Cellar Door label is defunct now, isn't it?

Now on my turntable (prompted by Peter's Sonny Stitt post above):

Sonny Stitt - Blues for Duke (Muse, 1978)
with Barry Harris, Sam Jones, and Billy Higgins; rec. 1975

A heartfelt tribute.  One of my favorite Stitt albums.
