Just finished listening to the first 7 sides of the George Lewis Mosaic set. I was burning cds. Great stuff!

Coleman Hawkins - The Jazz Version of No Strings (Moodsville mono). Ignorant me - not only I was totally unaware of this album until coming across a copy today, I was completely unfamiliar with the Richard Rodgers musical No Strings. I've always liked "The Sweetest Sounds" as a jazz vehicle, but I didn't know it came from this show. This green-label, Van Gelder-stamped copy is slightly battered, but it sounds pretty good with a mono cartridge. I'm tickled with this find.

Giving this another spin this morning - I'm quite taken with it.

Until that record, I had no idea that baboons played cards.

When I'm flicking through the channels and come across televised poker tournaments, a lot of the competitors look like baboons.

East Meets West - Ahmed Abdul-Malik reissue

One of three lps I bought by him yesterday.

[paul secor]

Webster Young: For Lady (Prestige Japan)

[jeffcrom]

An old favorite: Ornette Coleman - Crisis (Impulse). Not well recorded, and I've never been a fan of Denardo Coleman's drumming (although I like it at this stage better than later) - but this is a stunning performance.
