Jimmy Smith - The Boss (Verve). Some very fine post-BN Smith, with George Benson; recorded at the legenday Paschal's La Carousel in the West End of Atlanta in 1968.

I LOVE that session. Shows clearly that the purpose of soul jazz is to accompany the party.

Been listening to a couple of my newies

Sacred Harp Singing at the Old Country Church (Sacred Harp mono). One of two mint-condition, late-60s sacred harp albums I recently found. I grew up around sacred harp music, and I've got to say that this album is stunning. No performers are listed other than director Hugh McGraw, but it was apparently recorded in Birmingham, Alabama around 1968. Couldn't find a picture of the cover, but it's a stock photo of a wooden country church. These performances are the real deal, and are hair-raising.

Tony Fruscella/ Davey Schildkraut ------------Bebop is where it's at-Vols 1 & 2 ----------(Honey Dew)

Fascinating document of these two leaders , they don't play together but lead their own quartet. Bill Triglia plays very well, fast bebop , is common to both dates. Don Joseph is on trumpet with TS and DS's extra horn is Phil Woods. Sound quality is a little bit cleaner on the Schildkraut set but its more than listenable on both. Both leaders intrigue me in equal measure, so I'm very pleased with this recent purchase.
