A Milestone. I love this album, I mean I had the LP and have the CD. Funny, because I started Miles in 1973/74 when I heard him live and was crazy about it, and then I started to listen also to the classic old albums "Filles de Kilimanjaro", "Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew". The good old days.

That's a good Szabo.

Starting off a nice cool morning with some old time music from various bands Jack Purvis led or played lead trumpet within. Purvis was a great trumpeter influenced by Pops, and I confess that over the years I’ve come to enjoy the 'twenties/early 'thirties dance and pop music as odd sounding as it is today.

“Jack Purvis Recorded in New York 1925-1935” Jazz Oracle 3 cd set, disc 1

Jazz Oracle is a great label–I have nearly every one of their releases.

Allen Toussaint - American Tunes (Nonesuch)

[jazzbo]

A very 1962 (song choices) LP by Jack Teagarden for Verve, his last I think for the label.

Great band! Okay LP. . . could have been grittier. Maybe the band wasn’t “lubricated” enough.

Georghe, your comment about "The Good Old Days" made me laugh.

My approach to "The Good Old Days" is very different than for you. I begin to listen to Miles Davis in the 1950's.

Now listening to:

Lord estimates it is from the 60's and gives no information of sidemen.

I discovered it on Apple Music. The music is , though not exceptional, quite enjoyable.
