This album Includes the first Ella recordings of the hit songs “Alfie” and “Music to Watch Girls By” and her band features the rarely-heard but hard-swinging trio of Jimmy Jones, Bob Cranshaw and Sam Woodyard. The Ellington band captured here was at its peak, featuring Cat Anderson, Cootie Williams, Harry Carney, Paul Gonsalves, Jimmy Hamilton, Johnny Hodges and Russell Procope. This one again. Nice! Quote
Pim Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 my sons pick for this morning. Excellent taste just like his father 🤘 Quote

Harpist Brandee Younger is also featured on five of the album’s tracks. Quote

Pim Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 volume 3. I’d say this one is less interesting than 2. It misses the fire of the second volume. Sound is also a little less good. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Tubby Hayes “Tubby’s back in Town” Limelight/Classic Records gold cd There’s an earlier Columbia cd that has more material, but boy it doesn’t sound as good as this Classic Records disc does! Quote

Tubby and Kirk? I'm curious, impressions? Quote
jazzbo Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Holy Ghost said: Tubby and Kirk? I'm curious, impressions? It's very good. Tubby plays tenor, flute and vibes, Kirk does his thing and there is a really nice piece where both Tub and Kirk play flute. The piano trio backing them is just right--letting the stars shine, and then swinging nicely in their own segments. PS: I was remembering wrongly about the Columbia cd, that is another session. I also have this in the Kirk Mercury box, but it doesn't sound this good. Edited March 2 by jazzbo Quote

I just bought the Kirk boxset last year, and never realized I have this session. I have to sort through it, as the jewel cases nor booklet make it an easy find. Quote

Yeah, the Columbia is confusing, which I have, but I think (it's packed in a box) it's an Epic titled labeled "Tubbs" if memory serves me right. Quote
