I am on a Duke/Strayhorn kick, expanding my collection and revisiting albums I haven't listened to in years.  My library's streaming service also has albums from Pablo, Capitol, Reprise, etc.  I got it good and that ain't bad.

No one else sounds like Jimmy Rowles.

When it bites, the Ellington bug bites HARD.

Some marvelous playing by a lengthy list of excellent musicians. Leading the way is Coleman Hawkins.

I feel another Ellington/Strayhorn binge on the horizon. 

Duke Ellington "The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse"

with Big George Coleman on tenor

This is an album I have seen a few times in used record stores, but never in a decent enough condition to buy.  It's cool to finally give it a listen.  Sammy Nestico's charts  all awing nicely

[jazzbo]

Sun Ra "Continuation" Disc 2, unreleased material from the recording sessions of the (whacky) original Saturn LP.

Sound on these new officially released Ra sessions is really good.

An interesting grab-bag of tracks from the stockpile.

[jazzbo]

Saw this is to be reissued in Japan and realized I hadn't spun my copy in some time so I'm rectifying that. . . .

Philip Catherine/Neils-Henning Orsted Peterson "Art of the Duo" Enja cd

What's not to like?
