Classic Decca Recordings Of Bob Crosby And His Orchestra & The Bob Cats (1936-1942)

It’s interesting that this band grew out of the Ben Pollack band, a band I’ve always enjoyed.

It’s really cold out there. Should be above freezing tomorrow, which will help me with patches of ice on the deck and driveway.

Starting off with Out Of/Into “Motion II” Blue Note cd

So glad this new “supergroup” have released a second. And it’s very good!

And now, I was thinking of my Dad and decided to hear something he would spin.

My family rarely played any secular Xmas music when we were growing up, as a minister and a classical music lover he just didn’t want to hear that stuff. THIS was his Christmas go to . . . and I decided to listen to disc 1 of my cd copy this morning.

Great choice, really cool 👍

I actually don't know what my father liked to listen to, so I am happy you do.

My father is the real reason I love music so much, and also have an interest in audio playback. I spent many many hours as a kid and as an adult hearing what he was hearing, and I'm so grateful.

I have this one, nice with Milt Jackson, but in general I listen more to the Mobley around the time of „Soul Station”. I find, the early BN albums are very very similar.

Same with Morgan. I think this one is the one with the Benny Golson Arrangements, its nice. Is that the one with a cute waltz on it? 

I kept only one of the 1950´s Morgan, I think it is called "The Cooker". In rest I have more from the 60´s I think, only that I don´t really listen much to the "Sidewinder", prefer other albums like "Search of a New Land", that´s what I love most.

This  interesting information is from Robin Kelley's book on Thelonious Monk.

"Thelonious  even kept his music at Nica's, usually in a briefcase next to the piano. Fire was his main concern; he never worried about theft. That is, until he heard Jackie McLean's LP, "A Fickle Sonance", released later in the year. One of the cuts on the album, "Five Will Get You Ten", was credited to Sonny Clark, the pianist on the date. The song was actually one of Monk's compositions, "Two Timer". He had written it at Nica's but had not recorded it. Monk may have shared the lead sheet with Clark;l he may have even played it for him. But Clark was a frequent visitor to the "Cat House", and he even lived there off and on. His herion habit was out of control, and like most other junkies he resorted to stealing for a fix. Neither McLean nor any of the other sidemen suspected that the song had been stolen. To my knowledge, Thelonious never confronted Clark about it nor mentioned it to anyone. He just let it go."
