LPs bought over the weekend at a used record store in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

The Milt band is comprised of Teddy Edwards, Cedar Walton, Ray Brown, and Billy Higgins. Walton is in really fine form.

I have the Chiaroscuro CD and I knew about the Roulette disc, but I did not know about the Live st Lauren.  That's something new to keep an eye out for.  Thanks.

A bunch of 1960's pop & rock songs covered by jazz legends.  Frequently kind of hokey and occasionally cringeworthy (especially the tracks from Chet Baker's Blood, Chet & Tears album -- I suppose he got through that session by telling himself, "Hey, at least it's not the Mariachi Brass!").  Hearing OP and Bags wail on "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is a hoot.

A performance recorded on Bob Dorough's 92nd birthday.  Any one looking for vocal perfection has probably never sought out Mr. Dorough for singing enjoyment.  Time has taken a bit of a toll on his singing voice ("Flamingo" is a tough row to hoe for any singer, let alone a 92 year old one), but his piano playing is still quite strong and he has retained his incredibly youthful spirit.  This CD is a pleasant document of a special celebration and will likely be enjoyed by his fans.
