What music did you buy today?

[DMP]

The Woody Herman "Mosaic Select." I'm beginning to think the early '60's was the golden age of the big bands!!

[kh1958]

Three new releases (June 22) pre-ordered:

Jason Moran--Ten

Terje Rypdal--Crime Scene

Manu Katche--Third Round

[papsrus]

Prompted by Bev's interest in the listening to thread, two Ornette albums I've wanted to pick up for some time:

"Something Else" and "Tomorrow Is The Question." Also, John Casimir's Young Tuxedo Jazz Band.

The Hubbard, too. Critics seem to be hard on it, but I think it's one of his best.

Can speak up for three of those. The Parker is great - very well recorded for a live date - and there's a fascinating contrast between Sir Charles Thompson, late in his career, and Red Garland, early in his. The Blue Mitchell date is very nice and it's so good to hear a late example of Victor Feldman's fabulous piano! Many have said this before me, but Roots and Herbs is a remarkably good Messengers album to have seen the light of day so late.

Can't believe Roots and Herbs sat in the can all that time. What a great date! Haven't spun the Parker yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I've been fairly restrained these last few months, other than getting the 2-CD Joe Newman on RCA set.

Today I dropped by DG and picked up a used copy of Elvin Jones' Youngblood, a cut-out of Taft Jordan's Mood Indigo and Barney Kessel's Feeling Free (Contemporary). I don't think I've ever heard of Feeling Free, but it looks fascinating with Kessel joined by Bobby Hutcherson and Elvin Jones. Looking forward to hearing it later today.
