I used to see them (and talk with them) all the time, but haven't seen them since the start of the pandemic. Will we ever go back to those days?

When was it recorded, it must be quite old if Kenny Dorham was still alive.

I have another Parker Memorial from 1965, on which J.J. Johnson has a pseudonym C.C. Siegel, and it also has Coleman Hawkins on it. 
It was at Carnegie Hall 1965. Bud Powell was also on schedule, but played solo which is not on this record, but on another record. I had hoped that he plays with the band, he would have fitted better in it than Billy Taylor....

Chicago in 1970.

A rather different sort of jazz singing than Jimmy's.

Now I'm into some vintage Messengers

I needed more Duke in my day.

Duke Ellington Orchestra "Latin American Suite" OJC cd

There's just such sloppy elegance in their playing.

That looks interesting.  Will have to look into that one.

I like Ignatzek.  He made some excellent records with Claudio Roditi.
