Taft Jordan Plays Duke Ellington: Mood Indigo!!! (Prestige/Moodsville/Status mono). Just finished spinning a wonderful album I was not even aware of until a couple of hours ago, when I found it in an Atlanta record store. Jordan plays Ellington with Kenny Burrell, Richard Wyands, Joe Benjamin, and Charlie Persip - very nice. My copy is a typical Prestige hybrid - Status labels and a Moodsville cover.

The CD version (heresy here on the vinyl thread?) adds a second recording - The Swingville All-Stars - with Taft Jordan, Hilton Jefferson, Al Sears, Don Abney, Wendell Marshall, and Gus Johnson - a nice addition. I remember that Joe hipped me to this, perhaps back on the old BN Board, when I was looking to hear more Hilton Jefferson.

I'm sure I must have known about this, but never heard any of it. Must get it. Is the CD actually listed as by 'The Swingville All-Stars' or by one of the participants?

Now playing: Coleman Hawkins - Blues Groove (actually led by Tiny Grimes). One of Prestige's "Elecronically remastered for stereo" which actually doesn't sound too far from the original mono, unlike many of the horrible Blue Note LPs where this was attempted.

I Like Jazz! (Columbia "pre-eye" mono)

Musicbox made an interesting post about this album in a Dave Brubeck thread sometime back, and I've kept my eye open for it since. It's an amusing survey of jazz history, at least up to 1954. Several of the tracks, like Brubeck's "Makin' Time" and Pete Rugolo's "4:20 Blues," are still difficult to find anywhere else.

(Donald, come back and post more often!)
