So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

Duke Ellington “An Explosion Of Genius 1938-1940” Columbia Special Products/Smithsonian Collection. Record 1, 1938

These records (I also have them in the 2 LP sets for each year) sound phenomenal.

And the music is so intriguing.

👍 Several excellent  recordings - especially on Steeplechase. I like his bass playin and the many originals he has written. Praise for Ron McClure!

👍(I'm just discovering Rosewoman, who seems to be under the historic radar, which is surprising given such appealing and stimulating music. Particularly impressed with the first "Quintessence" album (with S. Coleman) and her quartet album "The Source" with Baikida Carroll).
