Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra - Pocketful of Dreams, Vol. III (Decca/GRP)
In the photo above, the way that Louis is looking down & spreading his arms makes me think that he's about to take a cartoon-like swan-dive off a very high stage. ;)

I've never seen that one, EKE. 

What do you think of it?

Nostalgia is ephemeral, skills are forever.

and Charles Stepney was a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad man!

Has anybody really, really analyzed/broken this album down in terms of musical/lyrical thematic development/continuity? Seems like there's a real "concept album", or even an actual by-god "suite" to be had here, maybe.

Stepney taking Bacharach seriously as musical inspiration, not just commercial motivation (the irony is all too real).

Can you imagine the sessions for this record? November 24-26, 1969, three days to get this made. Skills!

Duke Ellington "Ellington Indigos" Impex gold cd. 

This is such an exquisitely engineered album. From microphone placement to reverb this is so carefully crafted to suit and support the wonderful music.

Coleman Hawkins and his All-Stars "Swingville" OJC cd. This is such a swinging session. The way that Wendall Marshall is recorded just makes it so. Joe and Vic do some whack playing here. Maybe there was one too many bottles on a sideboard in the studio. Regardless, Hawk is so authoritative and Tommy so fluid and full of ideas. . . Man I dig it.
