Very, very good 70`s Southern Soul LP .... still unknown outside of aficionado circles ....

I usually avoid this label, but this disc collects some rare broadcast reordings from 1945-46 issued on a number od rare LP issues that are hard to find. Great music throughout.

Plus, I got a new copy dirt cheap.

Where else can you hear Stan Kenton with Ray Linn and Zutty Singleton (!) playing like in a Harlem bar impromptu session?

Years ago I purchased and listened to A Jazz Hour With Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge and remember liking it.

I hope I'm not alone in this, but every time I listen to a Monk recording, I laugh out loud -- well "at" is not the correct word, nor is "with" right, maybe "because of" is the best phrase -- Monk's playing.  Because his playing is so audacious -- seemingly simple, yet so profoundly deep, so corny on the surface, yet so very hip in the details.  On this disc, I was laughing with joy quite a bit as he played "The Man I Love".

Listening to this to back my reading of this:

As was said about another bop big band, "Ooh, what an outfit!"

I didn't know the man, but from his music it would seem that Monk had quite a sense of humor.
