Disc 2 of Beauty is a Rare Thing.  Love "I Heard It Over the Radio," the last track on the disc.

I have always disliked Benny Goodman because of his king of swing title, which I think he was not. But I gotta admit he was a hell of a clarinet player.

Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band - The Complete Good Time Jazz Recordings, disc 3. Not sure if this post is a confession, an opportunity for self-reflection, or a plea for help.

I got this box set - four CDs of the seminal West Coast New Orleans-style revival band - pretty cheaply a few years ago. I don't listen to it very often, but there are times (like tonight) when I crave it. Why? Why listen to this instead of a good New Orleans band? I'm not even sure I think it's "good" music. And if I want to listen to music derived from, but one or two steps removed from the New Orleans style, there are several European bands that are better than the Watters band (like Ken Colyer's or Papa Bues' Viking Jazz Band). But Watters' band had its own flavor, and I guess that every once in awhile I want to taste that flavor.

It's like not-that-good-but-still-pretty-great comfort food, I guess.

Sounds like it belongs in a "guilty pleasures" thread.
