Eric Quincy Tate - Drinking Man's Friend (Capricorn). Stripped-down Southern blues/rock from my youth. During the summer of 1974 I must have spent 20 bucks playing "Brown Sugar" (not the Stones song) over and over on the jukebox.

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

Love that one, it's one of those "stealth" MOR records where they make you think it's all polite, but it's really not that at all.

Oliver Nelson is the culprit, blame him!

Dumped 'Eleventh Hour' at the last Atlanta Record Show. It's irritatingly uneven.

Eight years later, Nelson and Hodges reunited for the masterpiece, 'Three Shades of Blue'.

(Less than two months afterwards, Hodges checked out in May, 1970.)

Earl Hines Grand Terrace Band Victor LPV 512, ace Budd Johnson tenor sax solo on XYZ as hard a swinging a tune as anything form Basie with Johnson sounding like a slightly more muscular Prez. Great transfers.

slight change of style, I like this one, Mats is not completely over the top and the music has a reflective quality. Live recording from 2009 in Vilnius

Barry Guy Mats & Gustafsson Sinners ,rather than saints NoBusiness

The Immortal King Oliver (Milestone). No need to ever play side one again - the Jelly Roll Morton duets and the Creole Jazz Band Paramounts are readily available in better sound. But side two has some rare QSR recordings featuring Oliver as sideman with Clarence Williams and Sara Martin.
