Stan Getz "Moments in Time" Resonance Records cd

I think the movie is better than the record. YMMV.

Going to see the movie Friday night, actually, which is why I pulled the soundtrack off the shelf. A local pop-up arthouse film collective is showing it along with Lee Marvin’s Point Blank as part of a 60s noir series.

How are you finding it?

Liking it a lot more on this listen, probably my fourth or fifth but after a break. Hearing a lot more originality, variation and subtlety in her playing now. Just bought the Tzadik to see how that is

After hearing Mundell Lowe on a Richie Kamuca LP, I decided to give this CD a spin:

Mundell Lowe - Souvenirs: A Tribute to Nick Ceroli (The Jazz Alliance)
Eight of the twelve cuts were recorded in 1977 (and originally released on the Dobre label); the remaining four were made in 1992

First heard the album in the early 70s, a buddy picked it out of the cutout bins. Didn't care for it that much at first, but kinda warmed to it over the years. Never really got there for me.

But - seeing it in the context of the film...it works very well there. And the movie itself if a delight (if you can use that word for what is not at all a happy movie).

So, definitely not one of those soundtracks that stands well on its own, imo.

"The Complete Vee Jay Lee Morgan-Wayne Shorter Studio Sessions" Mosaic Records, disc VI

I'm on the final disc of the box set on this revisit. . . been thinking of which is my favorite disc. I think it's either this one, or the fifth one. Great music and sound!

I found a copy signed by Mitchell on eBay for 10 bucks.

I agree but IIRC the music works as a film score.  BTW This film is presumably why Beatty chose Penn for Bonnie and Clyde.

Goodman Trio & Quartet, Benny and Gene and Lionel are fine, but Teddy Wison is just sparkling.  Recently acquired this CD for $1, I already had vol.2

Really wonderful to have this 2 CD document of the earlier version of Dizzy´s Big Band. Well, Monk was replaced shortly afterwards by John Lewis, but I think that edition was the one which is also on "Jivin´ in Bebop", the fine film. 
This was shortly before Dizzy got Chano Pozo and included more afro-cuban material, like "Tin Tin Deo", Manteca" and so on.....

Julius Watkins Sextet (Blue Note)

It took me a while to discover records like this one: Those mid-50s hard bop records with denser arrangements and some very slight third stream influences by the likes of Golson, Gryce and Pettiford. A bit of a dead end, and slightly lower profile than the more high powered stuff with Philly Joe Jones or Art Blakey, but I find that they dominate my hard bop listening these days.

My morning started with the final show of the 
"In and Out of the Garden" box set, disc 1.

Followed by
Jackie & Roy "Sondheim" Red Baron cd. The vibes make this better than it would be without.
