Which one are you missing? 

I don't have January 23, 1954 - but only for a few more days. I ordered the two Fresh Sound CDs of Hi-Hat broadcasts, which bring together most of them, including the one I'm missing.

Johnny Otis was white?

Scott Hamilton ‎– Swedish Ballads ... & More (Stunt, 2013)

[HutchFan]

While commuting into work this morning after a week of vacation:

Johnny Lytle - The Soulful Rebel and People & Love (Milestone; reissued by Real Gone Music)
Outstanding music -- jazz or soul jazz or whatever it is.

 

 

NP:

Kenny Barron Trio - Lemuria-Seascape (Candid)
One of my favorite Kenny Barron records. It's like home cooking; it may be familiar but it always tastes good.

Bobby Hutcherson - Head On (Blue Note)
An atypical Hutch record because all of the pieces (except for one CD bonus track) were written by Todd "Bayeté" Cochran.

[EKE BBB]

Zoot Sims And His Orchestra Featuring Jim Hall Arrangements By Al Cohn And Manny Albam ‎– Recado Bossa Nova (FSR, 1962)

What's this in response to?

Terrific ......... the news that there will be a third volume with unissued material from the Columbia vaults almost kills me.

White enough to get in trouble during the LA riots until he was recognized.   (And of course yo might well asl "which LA riots" there's been so many.

Yes, skin-wise he was white. Culturally, though, he decided to "live as black" pretty early on and did so until his death. I'd use the word "psychologically" but that implies that there's a race-specific/genetic psychology, and of course there's not. But there is definitely an experiential mindset that comes from living black in America. Otis not only realized that, he embraced it fully. Fully.

His books are required reading, imo.
