I found it on a blog and DL-ed it just to hear Morris Lane (already had all the Jaws stuff). I was neither impressed nor depressed, seemed like a really good player whose relatively unknown status among the general public today is not particularly in need of remediation.

Jaws, otoh...hell yeah.

Oh, I DO like that phrase, 'not particularly in need of remediation'. Heard a few samples of him and thought about the same, so I put all eight of those tracks together and messed around with the sleeve to wipe out Morris Lane.

Here's the sleeve of an earlier issue of some of the material on Remington. (Curious minds here will wish to see this, I guess.)

A friend is clearing out CDs and gave me (!) this super-fancy 5-CD box set - RT: The Life and Music of Richard Thompson on the Free Reed label. He's the friend who finally made me a Richard Thompson fan by playing me the right song at the right time, so I guess it's a fitting gesture. It was very generous of him.

Newport All Stars - Tribute to Duke. Live in Basel (MPS, 1959)

Marion Brown - Three for Shepp (Impulse) I've had the LP for about 40 years. Today I found a ridiculously cheap copy of the 1998 CD and picked it up to have a digital version. It sounds very good.

John Patton - Let 'Em Roll (BN)

Grand Kalle et l'African Jazz Volume II - 1961 - 1962 (Sonodisc African)

[jeffcrom]

The CD that came with the Jazzology Press book The Hottest Trumpet: The Kid Howard Story by Brian Harvey. The music, recorded between 1950 and 1953, is excellent, but the sound is pretty rough on most tracks.

Staples of Bannon's diet, but also a magnificent early-ish effort from a band historically lodged somewhere within the positive amplitude of Brit punk's initial wave.

Wasn't familiar with this band. Listened to some tunes on YouTube and they're very good. Thanks for the introduction.
