The Complete Fats Waller & his Rhythm, "Vol. 2 1934/43" King Jazz 

I had given my Dad all fourteen of these King Jazz volumes when I collected all the JSP volumes, and now I have these back. Great stuff. . . had a lot of fun when my Dad discovered Fats Waller.

Massimo Faeao & Jerry Weldon  with Joey DeFrancesco

Looks interesting!

P.S. Yes, very nice session indeed. I take it that's Joey on Miles-ish trumpet?

Albert Ayler "Revelatons" cd 2

This set was worth waiting for.

Rob Brown Trio – High Wire (Soul Note, 1993)

I am trying to figure out who Rob Brown's playing reminds me of. It's very strong, but I can't place it. 

Any help would be appreciated.

If I listen to vocal jazz my first choice is Billy Eckstine. I haven´t heard him sing "Everything I have is yours" but it is on some Eckstine album where Sarah does it as a feature. Beautiful ballad. Maybe on MGM recordings I might miss the great orchestra. 
Short time ago during intermission I talked to a musician and he mentioned the "Billy and Sarah" album from the late 50´s and the great singing of them both (I think it´s the one that has "Alexander´s Ragtime Band" and "Cheek to Cheek" but we both admitted that we complain the anonymous studio band, that typical 50´s run of the mill swing bands that also marred on Charlie Parker album "Charlie Parker Big Band".....

Maybe I should look for this.
I think I didn´t buy it when it came out since I thought it´s more the kind of a "sampler", but to hear Jackie McLean/Woody Shaw playing "Appointment in Ghana" and to hear Hubbard with Blakey and of course the Cecil Taylor solo would be something to enjoy.
I remember I was irritated about the participation of Charles Lloyd and Michel Petrucciani, since they don´t have to do something with BN. Anyway as much as I remember they got less favourable write ups.....
I´m sure it´s my fault but I never really could become warm with Charles Lloyd, when he was popular in the late 60´s I was too young (under 10 years) and when I started to listen I associated 60´s jazz with Ornette, Trane, Cecil Taylor etc. ) . 

But some of the a bit older guys on jam sessions always wanted to play "Forest Flower" so I had to play it.....too often....

That´s really a beautiful painting ! 

And wonderful tunes. And it seems to be a good rhythm section as much as I try to read from the liner notes (Malachi on piano, Roy Haynes on drums).

No need to encourage the morning, it will be here soon enough, on its own time and at its own pace.

Ha! You nailed it. That’s exactly right.

There’s places on here where he sounds like he’s doing a straight impression of Lyons.

Surrender my ass - I'm playing this once and then moving it on to the next phase of it's life, Hopefully somebody out there wants to hear these songs more than I do.
