Abdullah Ibrahim - Ekaya (Ekapa)

Kid Sheik - The Sheik of Araby (504). Since Greg Waits pointed out that it's Buddy Bolden's birthday, I wanted to listen to something Bolden-related. There were several choices, but I chose this 1981 album by Kid Sheik Colar. Kid Sheik probably didn't sound that much like Bolden, but his is an "early" style, relatively untouched by Armstrong, and he plays Bolden's "Don't Go 'Way Nobody" here.

Louis Armstrong - Rare and Unreleased Recordings (Book-of-the-Month Records); disc four. Someone gave this to me twenty-something years ago, and 75 percent was new to me at the time. Since then, and since the CD boom. I have everything on the first three records elsewhere, except for two tracks. On the fourth and last record, on the other hand, I only have three of the twelve tracks elsewhere, although I imagine that most have been released on CD by now. Among the tasty treats are a rehearsal take of "Back O' Town Blues" (you can hear Louis instructing the band on the background riffs they should be playing), a "Mack the Knife" duet with Lotte Lenya, and an outtake from The Real Ambassadors with Dave Brubeck.

One of the first jazz lp records I owned, a gift from a coworker of my father's (a Peace Corps volunteer under my father's direction in Swaziland). I'm amazed at the ruggedness of this mono Atlantic vinyl, and how I've somehow managed to keep it playable and enjoyable to this day.
