Smoke Sessions really is doing good work at the moment. How's this one?

Well recorded, solid mainstream date, as is typical of the label. I've always liked Watson's sound and compositions, and they are both well displayed here. Some nice trumpet from Jeremy Pelt.

So beautiful -- especially "The Queen's Suite."

This new 2CD version of the stereo masters sounds great to my ears. May therefore ‘pass’ on the Tone Poet.

I really miss seeing Harry Allen once a year at Jocko's in Methuen. I bought this one from him during one of his swings through town...

Such a beautiful ballad date. Perfect for this rainy holiday afternoon. I do have to get this entered into discogs one of these days.

Is that a copy of the earlier Pacific Jazz vinyl?

Not officially announced yet but this is a forthcoming Tone Poet release. Joe Harley mentions it near the end of this podcast https://www.soundsvisualradio.com/podcast/sounds-visual-radio-episode-joe-the-tone-poet-harley/

One doesn't hear jazz accordion very often, but Pete Jolly plays a lot of it here.

Earlier this evening, I was listening to Cal Tjader's Guarabe (Fantasy, 1977), as heard on this CD: 

Along with the entirety of Guarabe, this CD compiles the music from Tjader's LP Here (Galaxy, 1978), less one cut.

 

Now:

Jack DeJohnette - Parallel Realities (MCA, 1990)
with Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny

Picked this album up recently for the second time.  I had bought it on cassette when it originally came out.  Not long after, my car's player "ate" the tape.  So it's been fun re-hearing the music again, decades later.

This was the first Wes Montgomery I ever heard. I still love it very much.

Lonnie Smith – Move Your Hand (Blue Note, 1970)

 

I have this in an old domestic CD release. I think from the 90s, but previous to the Japanese in any case. I think Rare Groove.

That's one I have too. That Super Bit Jazz Classics were great. Mini LPs too.

This is probably my favorite Tatum.
