I'm just starting to dig a bit deeper into Carmen McRae's discography, but one thing that immediately leaps out is that she seems MUCH more at ease in a live setting.

Today, I've been listening to two more of her live gems, "Live" & Wailing (1968) and Woman Talk: Live at the Village Gate (1966).

This has always been  for me the most satisfying by the Alice Coltrane/Pharoah Sanders version of the band.

Emercy pressing

Another of those wonderful 90s reissues, Mostly Cuscuna led.

 Following a major purge and sale, I now have 100 LP's left in my collection. This is one of them and it's a dandy.

Agreed it's a dandy. But with only 100 LPs left, you must feel naked! 

Now playing:

An excellent album which may get overlooked because it was not on a major label.  An all-star cast of swing era vets proved they could still play it and mean it in 1957.  "king Porter Stomp" may be my favorite track here.

And now:

One of the crowns of my collection. With Baker sometimes.

My indoctrination.  Life will never be the same.  Today:  Quebec, DC, Asbury Park.  Starless & Sailor's box sets due in tomorrow, less than a week after receiving Red.  If your heart still contracts, your lungs draw air, and your eyes open to daylight, then why would you not be listening?  Took me 33 years; Christ's life span.  My hope is for another 4+ decades to explore this catalogue.
