Yeah, good luck! Forget the nightlight, this dude will keep you up all night. Easy chair McLean is rare, but if you want to try to take it easy with Jackie, Swing, Swang, Swingin' may be his sleepiest, but I'm still on edge; I still want to know every note he plays! With that, have a good night, my friend.

Now: The Fabulous Fats Navarro, Vol. 1. Japanese Mini LP RVG.

Both volumes, Japanese Mini RVG's

Well "Swing Swang Swingin´" is interesting for the tunes if I remember it right: I think I got the idea to play "Let´s Face the Music and Dance" just from that source. That tune is so strong with the alterations from minor key to major key. 
The original version from the 40´s is slower, but it´s always important to know the original source to get your own brand of playing it.

The Fats Navarro Blue Not I bought in the mid 70´s when there where those Double LP sets , I had one with Monk, and one with Fats. I remember only that I was pissed of there is always two versions of one and the same song. 

Here it´s early evening now, I slowly get things settled....

Is Kirk still playing? He turns 88 in two weeks, so I would not be shocked to hear he has stopped playing.

How says that Dexter Song (written by Cables who had the piano chair before Ligthsey came in) ? "I told you so" 😄

Kirk Lightsey looks wonderful and plays wonderful and was 2 weeks ago here in town, and in 2024 also. He played mostly Wayne Shorter tunes and I met him after the gig and we talked about 15 minutes about music, what else ?

One of Lacy's best, IMO.

 

Oh yes and he made so many great records…. I must say I still can’t stand Aebi’s vocals but I am able to just listen trough it and enjoy the rest. I love her cello playing by the way.

I've always liked J.J.'s run at Columbia. Great stuff.

Super liked growing up listening to mid 70's-early 80's jazz on the radio, one of my favorites.

This one doesn’t seem to be so out of place following the Sutton. It has been too long since I brought some energetic Tania Maria music into my room. I love this woman! What a talent!

Tania Maria “Outrageously Wild” Concord 2 cd set, disc 1 which reissues “The Real Tania Maria: Wild! - Live At The Grand American Music Hall”

1956-61: All collected in this great Mosaic box.

The Complete Columbia J.J. Johnson Small Group Sessions, Primary, 1 of 5

oh so early ? Somehow I had supposed that it might have been in the late 70´s or early 80´s, when more acoustic jazz artists made records for Columbia, especially Dexter Gordon. Since Dex and J.J. is same generation I made the wrong link that it was the same with J.J. (comeback of acoustic jazz). 

Thanks for correcting my mistake !
