The new Verve CD that has the original Bernstein score and also the album by Chico Hamilton combined on one disc, finally from the master tapes.

23 Classic Blues Songs from the 1920s, I'm Talking About You, Volume 14 (Blues Images). Really great sounding transfers.

[Dan Gould]

Gene Phillips Swingin' the Blues (Ace)

to be followed by the second volume, Drinkin' & Stinkin'

So glad I took a chance on these when Norton Records had their big 50% off CDs sale. Fine guitarist doing the jump blues/Louis Jordan thing.

This album has some of the very best Rosolino I have ever heard. Absolutely stunning playing. He and Menza made a monster front-line.

Zbigniew Seifert - Man of the Light (MPS, 1977)
Zbigniew Seifert (vn); Joachim Kühn (p); Jasper Van't Hof (el p, org); Cecil McBee (b); Billy Hart (d)

I like this. It's big, thrusting, earthy music -- a bit reminiscent of McCoy Tyner.

Because today just seemed to need some Mahalia Jackson.  This concert, recorded at Lincoln Center on Easter Sunday, 1967, answered that need nicely.  There may indeed be a balm in Gilead, but her singing is a balm in itself.
