When was this recorded ? 

I remember I had the first encounter with Sonny Stitt in the midseventies, when he played a vintage set of bop with Diz (I don´t remember the others, it was a classic bop quintet, but maybe with guitar instead of piano). 

And my impression was, Dizzy great as ever, but the big surprise was also Sonny Stitt, whose name I hadn´t heard until then. Compared to Diz, he looked like a very very old man and I thought that must be someone who had known Bird, but must be much older (Bird would have been about 55 years at that time and Stitt looked much older than 55 though he was 7 years younger than Diz !) That´s what this foto tells me. 

I saw Stitt the last time in 1980 but though he still managed to play some good tenor and alto, he was dead drunk and after some good tunes it became tragic comic and we left the concert and the after hour jam session with a bitter taste. 

I´m not familiar with West Coast players though I have heard Pepper with the drummer Carl Burnett, who is great.

Grateful Dead “Grayfolded” disc 1

A headphone listen as one of my 300B tubes died on Monday. . . after only 3 months of use, a real bummer.

But . . . this one is made for headphones in important ways. Always a trip.

JD Allen - Love Stone (Savant)

Next up:

Freddie Hubbard - Bolivia (MusicMasters, 1991)
with Ralph Moore (ts, ss), Vincent Herring (as, ss), Cedar Walton (p), David Williams (b), Billy Higgins (d), and Giovanni Hidalgo (perc)

Giovanni Hidalgo plays congas on the opening cut, "Homegrown," only.  He brings so much groove juice that I wish he would have been asked to stick around for more.

If this is a CD-R, be sure to back that up on your hard drive. VSOP told me in 2012 that all of their CD releases would be on CD-R. I haven't bought one since.

Speaking of . . .

Giovanni Hidalgo - Worldwide (RMM/Sony Discos, 1993)

Congas, Cowbell, Bata, Shekere, Guiro, Bongos, Tom Tom, Cymbal, Drums – Giovanni Hidalgo
Trumpet, Flugelhorn – Lew Soloff
Flutes – Dave Valentin, Mario Rivera
Saxophones – Andres Boiarsky, Mario Rivera, Craig Handy
Piano – Eric Figueroa, Hilton Ruiz
Bass – Eddie Rivera
Drums – Ignacio Berroa
Other Percussion – Jose Hidalgo, Carlos Rodriguez, Marty Sheller

Phew!  Such a terrific record.  . . . Hidalgo is the hero, but bassist Eddie "Gua Gua" Rivera is the glue.
