sidewinder -- I'm cueing up that Getz right now, prompted by your post. Earlier today, during my morning commute: Lucky Thompson - Lord, Lord, Am I Ever Gonna Know? (Candid, rec. 1961) with Martial Solal, Peter Trunk and Kenny Clarke

Two more new-to-me CDs: Charles Davis on tenor sax here. Impressive solo piano.

Thanks Larry!

Nice essay. I'd never read that Monk quote (via Steve Lacy): “You’ve got to dig it to dig, you dig?” Fantastic. Love it. Happy 100th, TSM!

Bol, have you looked at www.BagsUnlimited.com? I think they stock what you're looking for. See https://www.bagsunlimited.com/category/504/jewel-cases

When I arrived home from work tonight, a package was waiting for me -- a big box of used CDs that I'd ordered from Discogs. Just finished: Pat Martino - The Maker (Evidence/King Japan, 1995) with Jim Ridl (p), Marc Johnson (b) and Joe Bonadio (d) Martino in a contemplative mood. Superb. Now playing: Dave Liebman Group - Voyage (Evidence) with Vic Juris (g); Phil Markowitz (p, synth); Tony Marino (b, el b); Jamey Haddad (d, perc, vo); Café (perc, vo)

with Sir Roland Hanna, Ron Carter, and Louis Hayes

Yes! I agree.

Wow. That was a Hollywood marriage. Lasted for all of six weeks. As a Falcons fan, I wish the Saints continued futility.

I hear you, BBS. That makes perfect sense.

Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis & Johnny Griffin - Battle Stations (Prestige/OJC) with Norman Simmons (p), Victor Sproles (b), and Ben Riley (d)

Sad news. Sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace.

Bill Evans - The Tokyo Concert (Fantasy, 1974) with Eddie Gomez and Marty Morrell

I'm not sure what "boiling over" means either -- unless you're talking about a pot on a stovetop! As for "bowling over," see definition 2 below: bowl over v. 1. To knock someone or something down to the ground: The kids ran down the hallway, bowling over everyone in theirway. A strong wind will bowl that billboard over. 2. To make a powerful impression on someone; astound someone: She bowled over everyone at the meeting with her amazing presentation. His new songs bowled me over, so I bought his new CD. You must go hear this poet—you will be bowled over!

The Dave Liebman Group - Turnaround: The Music of Ornette Coleman (Jazzwerkstatt, 2010)

danasgoodstuff, I pretty much agree with your assessment. I've enjoyed The Sermon, and it's interesting to hear the sacred works in a jazz context -- but it's never really bowled me over like some other HH recordings have. IIRC, The Sermon was the last recording Hawes made before he was sent to prison. With a few exceptions, I like the music Hawes made after his incarceration best.
