A couple of R&B EPs

Shirley & Lee - Aladdin (Vogue UK)

('Let the good times roll' and 'I feel good' plus their B sides)

Wynonie 'Mr Blues' Harris - Battle of the blues - King (Blue Beat)

Hearing 'I feel good' by the Young Tuxedo band on the Mosaic Atlantic New Orleans jazz sessions made me turn up the Shirley & Lee version.

And thinking about the old Blue Beat ska records I remembered this EP which was a surprising release for the label (though the company's West Indian customers would have lapped it up, I dare say).

Sonny Rollins 'Our Man in Jazz' (French RCA Victor)

Sonny-Rollins-Our-Man-In-Jazz-550139.jpg

The first Sonny Rollins record I heard and one of the first jazz records I heard (late 1962 or early 1963). Took me a few listens to hear some of what was going on, since it was out of the realm of my listening at the time. It's since become a favorite.
