John Lewis, West Coast/East Coast Encounter (Gambit)

What's on that one as filler?

It runs to 78 mins, combining 2 Degrees East 3 Degrees West with The Modern Jazz Sextet (Lewis/Gillespie/Stitt), so the latter is now on my disposal list if anyone's interested!

Bought a pristine original laminated Impulse gate fold copy (vinyl record) from a good friend who had four copies. Now I have two....... :rolleyes:

Well remember that one from the sixties! Wish I'd held on to a copy (or two!)

Conte Candoli Quintet with Bill Holman and Lou Levy, Complete Recordings (Definitive)

Got on to this one through Marc Myers' excellent jazzwax blog. It combines Powerhouse Trumpet, which I already have, with West Coast Wailers, which I've never heard before. Same line-up, recorded a month apart. Absolutely great stuff, and my copy of Powerhouse Trumpet is now surplus to requirements. Anyone interested?

Horace Silver - In pursuit of the 27th man - BN RVG

Really enjoyed the Staton/Shearing - half instrumentals and much the best late fifties Shearing I've come across (he's not someone I actually seek out).

The two Silvers are fine. I have the feeling that Horace never really went anywhere after the mid sixties, but it's less noticeable on these than on his later albums. And there's no Andy Bey, thank goodness!

Got Stit's Bits: Sonny Stitt The Bebop Recordings, 1949-1952 today at (sob!) the Streetlight Records on 24th in Noe Valley that's slated to close soon (choke!)

Only $16. I've seen it on sale here and there before, but always with a note that the liner note booklet was missing. THIS one had the booklet.

Little shopping trip to Cardiff and a visit to the second hand record shop. Snagged cheap copies of

Nice 2CD set and I've only got 8 tracks on my other Reed compilation.

Even cheaper and just as well, because I'd forgotten that I already had "Plug me in" on a Collectables twofer (coupled with "High voltage"). So. OK.

The Lynch/Charlap is the only one I don't have. What's your take on it?

Two more of the great big bands turned up this morning.

As Buddy Johnson's is my favourite big band, I thought I ought to extend my measly two LPs into a more comprehensive selection, so I've started with these, which were fairly cheap - though postage from France is expensive. I only have about four of the tracks on the two CDs already.

Great swinging band; wonderful songs; great singers. Who could ask for anything more?
