Nice! Not one I've come across before. Bill Holman charts, I believe.

Maynard Ferguson - Swinging My Way Through College (Roulette). Some pretty good charts, mostly on standards.

Nice! Not one I've come across before. Bill Holman charts, I believe.

Holman, Willie Maiden, Slide Hampton, and Don Sebesky all contributed charts.

I bought this one a few years ago at the behest of a friend of mine who plays euphonium. He had been told that Ferguson plays some solos on that instrument on this album - turns out there's one such solo. I haunt so many used record stores that I figured I would come across a copy sooner or later. I found one pretty quickly and burned a CD for my pal.

Later:

Erroll Garner - Campus Concert (MGM). Don't listen to Mr. Garner much, but enjoy a taste every once in a while.

Abdullah Ibrahim - Soweto (Chiaroscuro). This is such a joyous, moving album, particularly considering that it was recorded in South Africa in 1975, at the height of apartheid.

[kh1958]

Grant Green, Shade of Green (Blue Note UA)

[paul secor]

A Fantastica Bateria II: Ze Do Chaveiro (Top Tapes)

[jeffcrom]

Steve Lacy - Estilhacos: Live in Lisbon (Guilda da Musica, 1972). The first album by the Steve Lacy Quintet (later Sextet) with Steve Potts.

[jeffcrom]

Thad Jones/Pepper Adams Quintet - Mean What You Say (Milestone)

[jeffcrom]

Mezz Mezzrow - The Many Faces of Jazz Vol. 10 (Mode/Vogue). I absolutely hate Mezzrow's playing, but I love Lee Collins, who is all over this 1951 French album. He and Punch Miller were two New Orleans trumpet players who were about the same age as Louis Armstrong, and who were only a couple of steps behind him. The great Zutty Singleton is also on this.

The Big 18 'The Swing Collection' (UK RCA stereo, 2LP)

[JohnS]

The Tempo Jazzmen/The Hermanites; Confirmation. Spotlite Dial Masters.

It's about time these fine non-Parker Dials got a spin.
