A favorite! :tup

Simply great taste :-) How do you like it ?

It's on order. Should be here in the next few days. And now I'm really looking forward to it! :g

IMO a really fantastic recording, very bluesy, fantastic recording quality!

Just arrived: two CDs I DIDN'T get in the COncord sale, because they were so cheap at Amazon UK

A mistake this one - I thought from the Concord write up that it was the whole of 3 Bluesville LPs on one CD - but it's a bloody compilation! Oh well.

Palmieri on now and it sounds nice and hot.

Bill Perkins Octet On Stage (Pacific Jazz)

Thanks to Tom1960 for recommending this! Very swinging session, heavily featuring the leader's superb post-Lester tenor. :tup

Oh, what a busy day! A day of interrupted (unfortunately) listening to new albums.

Today's haul was

I've had this a long time on a home tape. Very glad to get a real one now. This is the only one I haven't listened to (yet) :) The label says "full radial stereo" - wonder what that is :D

My Concord sale order turned up before 9am!

A hottie!

What a super album this is! Ida's voice was a bit past its sell-by date, but the way she used it! And with Hawk, Roy Eldridge, Sammy Price, Milt Hinton and Jo Jones, you just can't go wrong.

Sweet, with Clark Terry, Frank Wess and Junior Mance. Very nice music day today.

Two by Tito Puente - first ones I've ever bought

Also very hot stuff. Two 2Cd sets. I shan't go short of Tito Puente for a while.

Then I got a few come in from Dusty Groove

I haven't heard much Della before - only a couple of tracks on "Christmas with Houston Person & friends". She's very good. With Houston's regular band of the time (1992) and cover photo by Etta Jones - didn't know she was a photographer!

I like Cecil's albums. I was sorry I didn't notice these when they came out. Glad to have this now.

Never heard of Lewis Keel before. Interesting alto player. Plenty of good influences but not terribly much his own man I think. Joe sometimes used Muse as a "vanity" label, I understand, and I suspect this may have been one such album. But with Ponder, Mabern, Jamil Nasser & Leroy Williams, the thing swings very nicely.

The high point of the day! I thought this would be a fairly good band. COleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, Don Redman, Joe Smith, Sidney De Paris, Todd Rhodes, Fats Waller, Prince Robinson. Not too bad. Kept me awake. Blew me away from time to time, they just swung so effin' HARD! And to hear the original version of "Gee baby, ain't I good to you" - with the words mostly spoken! I hadn't realised that Todd Rhodes was one of the three musicians who founded the Cotton Pickers; thought he just worked in the band for a short while. I'm definitely getting the other two volumes of this. And the sound! I think this must be the first time I've heard JRT Davies' transfers. It's just unbelieveable.

Bad news on the Turrentine "Complete Blue Hour" ... arrived today with glue on playing surface. Couldn't clean. Had to reorder. So, while I was at it, I ordered these also:

Paul Gonsalves & Clark Terry Quintet -- "Complete Recordings"

Has been lingering on the wish list for a short while.

515y9b7TH1L._SL500_AA240_.jpg

Donnie McCaslin -- "Recommended Tools"

Sax, bass, drums trio. Sounds strong.

The Chicago Luzern Exchange -- "Several Lights"

The tuba sold me.

Yes it is, but I simply could not resist... I guess you can fully understand that!
