Woody Shaw - Woody III (Columbia)

[kh1958]

Bennie Moten--Count Basie in Kansas City (RCA Vintage series)

[paul secor]

Johnny Griffin 'Way Out' (Riverside, mono)

One of my favorite Johnny Griffin recordings - there are a number that fall into that category.

My copy is a Japanese repro, not a mono original, but the music is still great.

Tchaikowsky - Violin Concerto in D - Haifetz/Reiner, RCA, mono.

What a magnificient "easy listening" composer Tchaikowsky was!

[kh1958]

The Modern Jazz Quartet Plays Porgy and Bess (Atlantic, blue and green)

The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd (Riverside, blue label)

Von Freeman--Doin' It Right Now (Atlantic, red and green)

[six string]

Don Cherry: Tibet

...which I later discovered was Eternal Now--lame issue, awesome music.

This week:

Michael Mantler: No Answer

George Russell Sextet (w/Don Cherry): At Beethoven Hall

Ornette Coleman: Crisis

All Don Cherry these days...

I really like Crisis a lot. It's one of my favorite albums by Ornette.

Joe Newman 'I'm Still Swinging' (RCA Victor, mono)

[MartyJazz]

Harry James & his Orchestra, Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, October '52

Grew up on this stuff, but after so many years of digging post Dizzy trumpeters, I find James' molasses-soaked tone a little tough to digest. The opening "Ultra" however is a kick, an obvious re-working of "How High the Moon".

[kh1958]

The Solo Guitar of Bola Sete (Fantasy)

Duke Ellington--Blue Light (Columbia six eyes)

Paul Desmond--Take Ten (RCA black dog)

[brownie]

Elvin Jones 'Puttin' It Together' (BN, blue label)

[kh1958]

Stan Kenton--A Presentation of Progressive Jazz (Capitol ten inch)

Sonny Criss--Crisscraft (Muse)

Pat Martino--We'll Be Together Again (Muse)

George Lewis--Jazz in the Classic New Orleans Tradtition (Riverside, blue label)

Sonny Stitt and Milt Jackson--Loose Walk (Palcoscenico)

Sonny Rollins--What's New? (RCA Living Stereo)

[brownie]

Johnny Hodges 'The Eleventh Hour' (Verve, stereo)

[sidewinder]

Johnny Coles 'Little Johnny C' (BN NY USA, DG one side, mono)

[sidewinder]

Kenny Dorham 'Afro-Cuban' (Music Matters 2x45rpm, mono). Awesome !

A little madness while I sip on a cold one and leaf through a friend/mentor's latest art monograph...

Love that album - mine has a different cover:

[jeffcrom]

Jazz Odyssey, Vol. II: The Sound of Chicago (Columbia) - disc one. I have most of this stuff elsewhere, but this set has some very cool rare tracks.

Lyle Murphy - 12-Tone Compositions and Arrangements (Contemporary)

The Sunny Meadows Radio Show - 1929 (Sunbeam). Pretty interesting - two episodes of one of the first transcribed radio shows, sponsored by the Meadows Washing Machine Company. Side one features Ray Miller's dance band from Chicago, with young Muggsy Spanier.
