Back in high school I purchased this on lp, in a Walgreens for something like 65 cents. Now I have the cd.

There was a great sounding japanese SHM-CD release a couple of year's ago....

Excellent music. Why did I sleep so long on these Prestige sessions?

Now playing:

[Rabshakeh]

Little Women - Throat (AUM Fidelity, 2010)

I can't believe that this recently released record came out over a decade ago. I feel incredibly old.

At least it has aged well. It's doing the work that the morning coffee couldn't.

[JSngry]

This is a good record..

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Xavier Davis - Dance Of Life (Metropolitan Records). Nice CD. Don Braden plays beautifully. I pulled this out because I just got an offer from Tommy for CDs from this catalog. I've had this one for years.

[Rabshakeh]

Ornette Coleman Quartet - This Is Our Music (Atlantic, 1961)

 

Don Cherry might be the only man in history who looked cooler without shades.

Mose Allison "Creek Bank" Prestige LP

I love Mose on Prestige

Back Country Suite remains a favorite.

I've never heard that record -- but that's a killer line-up of saxophonists.

 

[kh1958]

Roderick Paulin, Slow But Steady

Muggsy Spanier and Bud Freeman "The Complete V-Disc Sessions" Jazz Unlimited cd

It's also got a typically pointed Baraka poem, "Heathens and Space", delivered as only he can deliver it.

[DMP]

Jonah Jones, “I Dig Chicks.”  ( But not for long, that shuffle/jump routine is usually only good for a few minutes.) (But Jones is a wonder player!)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Billy Harper - Soul of an Angel (Metropolitan Records) Another Metropolitan release that I've been spinning for many years. If you are on Tommy's E-mail list, you might want to pick this up. Excellent music.

[HutchFan]

[Peter Friedman]

Ella sound terrific.

But it is very disappointing that there are no solos by any of the musicians. With a rhythm section that includes Paul Smith and Jim Hall a few solos in the middle of tunes would be highly appropriate.

It seems there are jazz vocal albums that have solos by the musicians and others that do not. In my opinion, a jazz recording is always much better when the listener gets to hear some playing by the musicians on the session. 

[HutchFan]

Musical telepathy.

I think it was Ella's date only! BTW there  exists another  album (same location) issued recently.

[Peter Friedman]

This is the 2nd CD in the two CD "Blues March" Roulette set.

It features Valery Ponomarev, Bobby Watson, David Schnitter, Walter Davis, Dennis Irwin, Art Blakey.
