Stanley Turrentine - Salt Song (CTI, 1972)Salt_Song.jpg

So good.  One of Turrentine's best albums, and one of the best LPs that CTI released... in this listener's humble opinion. ;)

Only have those recordings on the Mosaic CD set but agree, excellent sound.

All VeeJay originals I have sound good, the mono better then stereo, IMHO.

My first Monk record, bought as twoofer in the late seventies, Brilliance.

edit: bought with Monk/Trane twoofer if memory serves  me well.

Good Sunday morning, fellow jazz-ophiles.  I'm enjoying my hot cuppa joe while listening to Maxine Sullivan's Uptown with the Scott Hamilton Quartet:

My wife has now played it three times this morning. Not back to back, but every time I leave the room it is back on. 

Who could blame her?  She has excellent taste in music!  ;)

I guess it's no coincidence that Helen Humes' phrasing reminds me of Jimmy Rushing.

 

As I stated somewhere else I´m not really the greatest fan of female vocals, but you must be  right with the comparation with Jimmy Rushing. 
I heard her ony twice.... and coincidally, first time on the Diz film from 1946, where she sings some blues with the band, and the other one is on a Dexter 4 LP collection I have with Dex in the bop years, all the Savoy and Dial material and a very obscure 1950 date with Helen Humes, which is only blues, slower, faster, all in the same key :huh:, As much as I remember it´s quite a soprano voice.....if I must hear female vocal at least it should be a lower range.

I would say that Humes has a unique voice, very "little girlish."  I dig it, but I can understand why others may not find it appealing.

Illinois Jacquet in Swinging Sweden (Skarby International, 1978)
with Joe Newman, Jimmy Rowles, George Duvivier, and Walter Perkins

Rowles was feelin' it, and that's always a good thing.

Helen Humes' later vocals got more sex in them than candy got sugar. Talk about a twinkle!
