I had forgotten about this expensive cd I ordered from Japan* until I saw a picture posted showing someone else was listening to it. I think I only played it once before, I like it, I like Jose James, a cool singer. This one is sort of a tribute to Erykah Badu, with a cover reminiscent of one of Alice Coltrane’s album covers. Jose James "On and On” *Of course now I see that amazon has it much less expensively. Ah well.

Up next:

I'm a fan of this oddball one, from beat poet Jack Spicer: https://citylights.com/general-fiction/tower-of-babel/

Interesting that the UK list is different than the US one. Perhaps it’s always been that way but I never noticed it.

Adaptive Dance, huh, I had no idea! Look forward to reading these, thanks for the link.

I am thinking about offering a broadcast every week or so to those interested . I have hundreds of Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz shows, in addition to other NPR and APR/PRI and other broadcasts. Share your email via pm to obtain the Piano Jazz with Ed Bickert. There is a three day limit to download once you receive it. Maybe others will make similar offers, but I am not expecting anything in return.

I assume the original point about mysteries was more about Agatha Christie type stuff rather than detective novels.

Continuing on with more Quinichette. “Paul Quinichette plays Quincy Jones Arrangements” Lonehill Jazz cd This reissues “Moods” with bonus material. Nice Basie like music. 300×296 7.09 KB

Paul Quinichette “Like Basie” United Artists/Mighty Quinn cd Paul and Al Grey and a dream team of trumpeters swinging away in that Basie way thanks to Basie’s guitarist, bassist and drummer. Paul Quinichette – tenor saxophone Harry Edison, Snooky Young, Dick Vance, Shad Collins – trumpet Al Grey – trombone Nat Pierce – piano Freddie Green – guitar Eddie Jones – bass Jo Jones – drums

Original LP

Impressions, what do you think? NP

“Songbook by Jason Palmer” Ayva cd This was I believe Jason Palmer’s first release as a leader and it sounds very “mature.” Palmer deserves more attention. All his original compositions on this one, as well as excellent support from a few “names.” Alto Saxophone – Greg Osby Bass – Matt Brewer Drums – Tommy Crane Piano – Leo Genovese Tenor Saxophone – Ravi Coltrane Trumpet – Jason Palmer Vibraphone – Warren Wolf Recorded October 28-29, 2006 at Systems II Studios, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Starting off a cold morning with disc 2 of Yes “Tales from Topographic Oceans” Super Deluxe Edition. This is the original mix, LP sides. C and D. Wow. This is remastered very well.
