I love his sound. Heard him live only twice, with Mingus. Great to see that Kirk Lightsey is on it. He is one of my favourites and I have heard him very often.  Even this year, at 87 I think, he sounded beautiful and I had the luck to have a longer conversation with him.

Excellent! Thanks. Adding it to the list.  😉

 

I've never seen that one before. No idea it existed!  Issued in Japan only, I presume.

How's it sound, @jazzcorner?

Ethan Iverson, Albert "Tootie" Heath, Ben Street - Live at Smalls (SmallsLIVE, 2010)

This might be my favorite Tootie record.  Either this or Dark Beauty with Kenny Drew & NHØP.

 

R.I.P. Albert Heath . . .  and thank you for the music.

I'd forgotten I've got that...as yet unopened

I got that [And did those feet...] since a US vendor (DG) stocked it, saving a boatload on shipping.

The CDs are indeed good. I've read most of the book (focusing on the composers I know more about).

More Puente:

Pictured above: Tito with vocalist Santos Colón, who sang with Puente for 17 years.  Colón’s first recording with Puente was the giant hit, Dance Mania (1958).  . . . In 1971, Colón left Puente's band (on good terms) for a solo career.  This 1977 album was a reunion.  Colón’s voice makes it sound like "classic" Tito Puente, which is appropriate given the album's retrospective theme.

Next up:

EKE-The-Capitol-Sessions.png

Duke Ellington - The Capitol Sessions, 1953-1955
I downloaded this MP3 set -- from emusic.com, I think -- a long time ago.  I remember it because I couldn't afford the Mosaic Capitol set at that time (raising a family!), so this was my substitute.  ;)

Pre-streaming days.
