To all who celebrate the holiday, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Today, I've been listening to a couple LPs featuring Coleman Hawkins:

The High and Mighty Hawk (Affinity, originally Felsted)

 

Jazz Reunion - with Pee Wee Russell (Barnaby, originally Candid)

 

[HutchFan]

The Albert Nicholas Quartet with Art Hodes (Delmar)
Unlike the photo above (which I snagged from ebay), my copy of the LP has the original Delmar (with no "k") record label.

Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen was the perfect choice for duo settings ....

Absolutely. Your comment makes me think of this right away:

Desert-island music this listener.  

NHØP's duos with Kenny Drew & Tete Montoliu are also excellent.

I wish there were more NHØP duos with Dexter -- especially since sax-bass duos are less common than the piano-bass variety.  You get this feeling on parts of Lullaby for a Monster, which I know is one of your favorites.

I wonder if this eBay copy is extra valuable as there is no "K" on the cover.

[HutchFan]

I'm not familiar with that Shepp / NHØP record.  Need to rectify that!

I'm no expert on this sort of thing, Dan. But I doubt it. My copy doesn't have the "k" either. 

I only recently discovered that Delmark began as Delmar, and Bob Koester added the "k" after he was threatened with legal action. 

I'm sure Chuck (and others) know much more about this than I do.

So Bob had many more covers printed than record labels, I guess.  I don't know about these things either but I learned about the Delmar/Delmark story many years ago when I found this one without the K

Most effective use of a paper clip ever!

My rig is set up to play thru the PC and unfortunately I can't get the speakers to monitor the input line. So technically I am not currently spinning anything except my hard drive but here's the first of quite a few records purchased for my own holiday celebration.

What caught my eye was Teddy Edwards in the credits. Into side 2 with only one Teddy appearance but no matter this lady can belt 'em out.  Glad I gave it a shot.

Number two and very nice:
