Black Bands in Paris 1929-1930 (French Pathe). Sam Wooding has most of the tracks here. More historically interest than really good music here, but Albert Wynn has some really nice trombone solos with the Wooding band.

Klezmer Conservatory Band - Yiddishe Renaissance (Vanguard). Listening both for enjoyment and to look for repertoire for the 4th Ward Afro-Klezmer Orchestra. We might have a winner with "Yiddish Blues" by Joseph Frankel. I like the cover photo, too - 13 young Jews and Don Byron.

The Mel Lewis Orchestra, 20 Years at the Village Vanguard (Atlantic)

Rarely buy vinyl these days, but spotted this at Manchester's Vinyl Exchange for £6 in as-new condition. Cheapest online seems to be about £30. As for the music, you can never fault this band, as far as I'm concerned. And I'd never heard of this album before!

George Wallington Quintet at the Cafe Bohemia - alternate takes. This 1985 issue LP (Progressive PRO-7001)) was taken out of circulation as a result of a lawsuit against the producer. Fascinating album especially if you love as much as I do, the original album.

Marion Brown - Vista - (Impulse)

How is that one? I've passed on it a number of times. Not sure as to why.

Gesprachfetzen it ain't, but then again it doesn't need to be. I would spend no more than $5 on it; I think mine was $2 and it's very clean. Super-mellow, but very nice. The version of "Visions" is an only-slightly-guilty pleasure.

Al Gallodoro - Gallodoro (Merri). A guilty pleasure. This is semi-classical and pop music - flashy and shallow. But I'm a sucker for great saxophone playing, and Gallodoro is pretty amazing.

As I said before, he came to my small town, Iowa school (maybe 300 students, k-12) around 1957. I was in the band and was transfixed by his playing.
