Nicely done issue of this music.  Grant's live dates add something. The two sets offered up by Resonance a few years ago are very good too.

It seems that Lew Tabackin as travelled much as a single with local rhythm sections in the last years, I somehow missed it. 

Saw Lew Tabackin just the once at a California Club (somewhere in the SF Valley). Really nice club, evening and excellent music as I recall.

United Jazz and Rock Ensemble on Mood Records - 'Round Seven'.

Charles Mingus presents Jazz Workshop Vol 2 (Vogue UK 10”). My Dad’s record. 5 trombones stretching out, one track per side.  Willie Dennis and JJ Johnson stand out. Great live sound, recorded in Brooklyn 1953. Must track down Vol 1.

Mark Styker mentioned this last week or the week before in one of his Twitter posts so I picked up a copy.

Is that a toothbrush in Bird's right hand?

Yes you mention it and I remember I must have it somewhere. When I was a youngster, I bought a lot of those "Spotlite" LPs, I think there is also one of Bird in Paris, but they published anything that was recorded of Bird, may it be good, may it be sad, may it have a better ore a barely acceptable sound.....

I have a vague memory, that there is also tunes that Bird didn´t record much, some "Strike Up the Band" or "Fine and Dandy" or so. 

There´s also a very long Body & Soul but somehow the local musicians never know if to play ballad time or double time, so I think I remember they not always really together....

The rest might be standard bop repertory like the "Bird in Paris"....

Recently I had an attempt at an LP clear out. This was on the pile for possible onward movement.Once I listened to it I realised that it was a keeper. Better sound compared to the Bird in Paris set , but that too was a keeper.

Somewhere in the racks I have a red Storyville LP which I think covers the same Swedish tour.

Now spinning:

This isn't bad.  But it's not nearly as good as I would like it to be.  The music strikes me as very "studio-y" and docile.  Nobody ever lets loose.  I suppose it's telling that this album never was issued in the U.S. . . . I pulled it off the shelf to see if I still felt the same way since my last listen, and I do.

Storyville also issued it.  Recently, it’s been re-issued by Bird’s Nest which I think is a PD label.

school holidays here. Time for my annual 18 yo Tallisker Speyside whiskey and some Phineas Newborn to close off the school year.

the new Sam reissue. Glad I’ve traded in my Japanese issue with profit because this one sounds even better. Nice job

Excellent on both counts -- music and spirits.
