I don't know that one, as good as I might expect?

Have the others shrunk in the wash?

Jimmy Smith – It's Necessary

This record is crazy good. I'd never listened to it before today. A whole other level.

Yes it is good. It sounds like Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink recording a duo album in the seventies, released on ICP. Exactly like that. 

Mengelberg's in particularly good form.

Great find at a nearby used cd store ($5!). "Late" Shaw and a young Geri Allen in cracking form.
(Just noticed that the cover painting was by Gil Melle.)

Amazingly diverse display of British jazz talent here: Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott, Joe Harriott, Dick Morrissey - and Humphrey Lyttelton!

 Both of those Harry South 4CD box sets are brilliant.

Caught them late ‘79. Roland Prince on guitar, Pat LaBarbera on saxes plus for the night I saw them, Alan Skidmore also on saxes. Elvin more on fire than any other time I caught him in later years. Don’t recall the ‘gruntaphone’ in the lineup either !

Jack Teagarden – Mis'ry And The Blues (Verve, 1961)

I am not by any means a "Dixieland Guy", but this is an incredibly moving blues record, particularly the title track.
