I´m not a Bird completists but I think some of the stuff was on a Spotlite Label LP when I was a teenager. You see, then when I had discoveded Bird (after Dolphy!) I wanted to have more Bird LPs.

About the same time I discovered Jackie McLean, who remained my favourite voice on alto since then: 

Usually I listend to more demanding stuff of himm but last night I wanted to hear something more easy to listen to, since I was very tired: 

This is what I listend to:

This is beautiful music. I appreciate these final Jobim albums more and more.

Louis Jordan – Somebody Up There Digs Me

 

[jazzbo]

The unique voice and styling of Shiela Jordan is a great fit for this morning.

This Sheila Jordan album was 'lost" from 1960 on and is really nice. The notes say:

This music was found by two collectors on a test pressing recorded in 1960. The rhythm section is unconfirmed.

Sheila Jordan “Comes Love: Lost Session 1960” Capri Records cd. Possibly only 500 made?

Dexter Gordon Quartet 'San Francisco '82" Hi Hat cd

Dexter Gordon on tenor saxophone, Kirk Lightsey on piano, David Eubanks on bass, and Eddie Gladden on drums. Keystone Korner, December 1982

There are so many good live Dexter recordings. This is among them, good sound quality and Dexter is energetic.

Duke Ellington “Jazz Party (In Stereo)” Columbia Jazz Masterpieces LP

This is the only stereo LP I have of this title, and though it doesn’t quite match the sonic majesty of the OG Mono LP I have, it does sound pretty darned good for an LP that is probably digitally sourced (and early at that).

Such magnificent music and such a masterfully engineered album. One of these days I’ll seek an early pressing of the Stereo title to partner with my Mono copy.

There's lots more to discover by her too, all of it's good. Her more recent Snowy Egret band plays beautiful music
