Buck Clayton - The Complete CBS Buck Clayton Jam Sessions (Mosaic). Disc 1 is up first. I get the urge to play these jam sessions every now & then and they never disappoint. Such a fun set. Your feet tap no matter your mood. It's the kind of music where I wish I could've been in the studio to see these Jazz greats in action.

Listening to this album, as I just got tickets to see him perform here in Paris in September!

[jazzbo]

Back at the stereo for a bit. Pulled out Dexter Gordon "Our Man in Paris" 24 Bit by RVG Blue Note Japan cd

Earl "Bud" Powell on the piano chair makes this a special session. There are perhaps better sounding digital editions, but I still like this one, it's "earthy" sounding to me.

I remember it was a very warm evening and the venue's windows were open, at one point EP mimicked the sound of a police car as it went by.

I just checked the prices for the CD, they've crept up I see

I think this is Joshua Redman’s first for Blue Note, “Words Fall Short.” I really like it.
