Ironic that an album by a man called "Sweets" would sound right at home playing in a dentist's office.

I think I paid $2 for this ... about a $1.50 too much. And I love Sweets.

Ouch.  That bad, eh?

I guess it's like this guy said:

It's just soupy and barely goes beyond like 3 minutes a cut. Even though Benny Carter did the arrangements its not at all geared toward jazzheads.

@TTK would probably love it for the atmospherics - with the right potent potable, and Mrs. TTK.

Wildflowers, Vol. 5 (Casablanca, 1977)

A real gem of Roscoe Mitchell on the second side of this one. Jerome Cooper and Don Moye in tow on percussion, traps and saw.

Lee Konitz - Meets Warne Marsh Again (Pausa, 1977)

Picked on vinyl after @JSngry's recommendation back in May. Definitely worth it.

Started today with:

Third time trying to get through this one. Kept going back thinking there was something I was missing or just not picking up. Playing is nice enough but the pace is glacial - which is fine, I mean I dig Tord Gustavsen...but there's a decent amount of schmaltz I'm hearing on this and it's just not my thing. 

So, moved on to: 

Some of my favorite moments here are when it's just Higgins, Holt & Johnson

Time to play something from the Birthday Boy!

This is the fourth volume of a great series of discs from Storyville featuring great-sounding live appearances from the All Stars in Scandinavia. I think I like this volume best but all four are dynamite.

"Louis Armstrong in Scandinavia, Vol. 4"
