jazzbo Posted September 4 Posted September 4 (edited) A soggy morning. We dodged a really severe thunderstorm last night–did not get the high winds predicted nor the tornado we were on 'watch' for, but it sure is soggy out there. And warm. Starting the day off with one of the very first LPs I ever owned, gifted to me by one of the Peace Corps volunteers my father directed in Swaziland, my brother thinks it was Chris Matthews (who was one of the volunteers) but I’m not sure that’s accurate. Slide Hampton Octet “Sister Salvation” Atlantic Records mono LP Chris Matthews in the center, my Dad with his back to the wall near the bricks, M’Babane, Swaziland, 1969 Edited September 4 by jazzbo Quote

jazzbo Posted September 4 Posted September 4 Music for a rainy sort of melancholy day. “Flutes and Reeds” Savoy LP 250×248 22.6 KB Alto Saxophone – Ernie Wilkins Bass – Eddie Jones Drums – Kenny Clarke Engineer, Recorded By – Rudy Van Gelder Piano – Hank Jones Tenor Saxophone, Flute – Frank Wess, Jerome Richardson Recorded August 2, 1955 at Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, NJ, recorded not long before I was born.

jazzbo Posted September 4 Posted September 4 Made sense to play this one next. A cd this time, in the Savoy/Denon series of excellent sounding cds. “Opus de Jazz” This cd edition gives me two color covers; here’s the other: 299×300 28.3 KB Bass – Eddie Jones Drums – Kenny Clarke Flute – Frank Wess Piano – Hank Jones Tenor Saxophone – Frank Wess Vibraphone – Milt Jackson Recorded in October 28, 1955 Quote
jazzbo Posted September 4 Posted September 4 Buster Bailey “1925-1940” Chronogical Classics cd I always skip the first two tracks–they are from terribly worn 78s. Really nice music after that though! Quote
Peter Friedman Posted September 4 Posted September 4 All 6 Riverside albums from the 50's and 60's by Jimmy Heath are good ones. Needless to say, I also enjoy most of the Jimmy Heath recordings that came after the Riversides. Quote
