Now playing:

I like that vintage price tag!  

And the music as well, of course.

Probably his best studio recording ....

My own CD compilation of all Tito Puente Tico tracks on which he plays vines.

In terms of tracks, there's always that version of "Sonnymoon for Two" on 100% Proof with him and Ronnie Scott trading back and forth. Possibly this beats it in LP terms.

Fair enough .... btw for me the best live recordings are even stronger ....

Yesterday afternoon I tolerated the heat upstairs and I spent a little time with my turntable setup and spun a few LPs. I'm continuing this morning with this one, not an original by any means, a 180 gram pressing I bought really cheap about 7 years ago, possibly a Scorpio boot. Doesn't sound great. Doesn't sound bad either.

Jimmy Knepper "Idol of the Flies" a reissue of the Bethlehem lp "A Swinging Introduction to Jimmy Knepper" 

[JSngry]

This is a new one for me. Trying to get to the 2nd CD, the previously unissued stuff, but the first one keeps pulling me back in and around.

An Evening with Earl Hines" Vogue 2 LP set, record 1

Wow. This is indeed an amazing record set I  have not played in some time and that's a shame. Hines having a good old time with great support.

Bass – Hank Young
Drums – Bert Dahlander
Guitar – Tiny Grimes
Lead Vocals – Earl Hines, Marva Josie
Piano – Earl Hines

Those Vogue 2LP sets were the business !  I’ve still got loads of them. Not forgetting also the Clifford Brown ‘Complete Paris Collection’ on 3LPs which they did. £3.99 back in the day !

I believe it, this is a very nice pressing of this, have never heard vinyl of the US version.

I had the LP in my hands earlier today and put it back in the rack. Mistake I suspect?

There's always time. 

I'm really enjoying it. A great example of underappreciated and unrecognised 70s bop.

Unfortunately ill-timed as I've entered self-isolation. It'll be snapped up by the time I'm able to make a trip there again. Not the end of the world really.

It's a great cover

Oh no. I hope it's okay.

Sheila Jordan "Comes Love: Lost Session 1960"

An interesting release--better singing than on a number of albums of the time and the sound is decent.

Vijay Iyer - Panoptic Modes (Red Giant, 2001)

Listening to this early Iyer I am struck by how much more enjoyable his playing used to be. Whilst I am almost always impressed by Iyer's records, I am not sure that I have found them "enjoyable" for a while. They seem to be getting weightier with each year.
