Don Elliott- A Musical Offering (HMV) mint UK pressing of this hardly revolutionary session arranged by Quincy Jones. Pleasant Sunday morning chamber jazz with a west coast vibe. Quite nice but not worth big money.

listening to this mellow session again. It's really not bad, it's certainly polite with touches of muscular flute playing and even bounce to most of the arrangements. Doesn't sound like a typical Quincy Jones date to my untutored ears. This is available on Catalan CD imprint combined with another Elliott session. Anyone else heard this ?

A bunch of LPs from PeteB turned up this morning. What with water being intermittently cut off for the last couple of days, I only just managed to get to hear them now.

Various Artists - Live at the Apollo 1944-1947 - Everybody's

Phew! Some cracking playing from a bunch of great big bands, and even the Duke and Basie are overshadowed by Erskine Hawkins!

Erskine Hawkins - Swingin' in Harlem - Vocalion (Tax, Sweden)

Very nice early sessions from 1936-38. Never heard any of this stuff before.

Lionel Hampton & his orchestra - 1948 - Alamac

Live broadcast stuff with the band veering towards, and sometimes leaping into, bebop. Fats Navarro & Benny Bailey to blame :D

Arnett Cobb - Arnett Cobb is back - Progressive

Every bit as good as you think it should be.

Nope. The "Narada" was bestowed upon him by Swami Satchidananda.

Glad you dig the LP - was honored to write the text for that one.

Someone should have told the Swami it was already taken :lol:

Ha! Well, in all seriousness, it means something like "giver of musical wisdom" and, like Pandit (Vedic high scholar) and other superlative designations, can be bestowed on more than one person. Michael Walden seems to think that he "owns" it, you're right about that.

Bobby Bradford, Frode Gjerstad, Ingebrigt HÃ¥ker Flaten, Paal Nilssen-Love - Kampen (No Business)

excellent release , apparently it's selling fast and nearly sold out

Just what i didn't want to hear. The "selling fast" bit, that is. I saw that band a couple of years ago and they were excellent.Fully intend to purchase this budget (and now availability) willing. I'm a big fan of their Reknes recording on Circulasione Totale

Yeah, it's interesting to see something like this fly off the shelves, and heartening. I'm sure there are new copies floating around on Discogs or at other shops.
