Naturally I dug it out after spotting a recent posting.

It has an especially lovely version of Laura.

That's one of the good things about this place. You can get reminders of recordings you've ignored for a while.

The photo was taken by Ernest Withers, a Memphis photographer. I'm not sure what it's about. I have a book of his photographs, so I'll check tomorrow and see if there's some information in it.

I couldn't find that image in the Withers book, but there are other photos, evidently from the same show - the WDIA Revue - which  picture Ray Charles, Rufus Thomas, Elvis, Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf. The woman pictured was evidently an employee of radio station WDIA.

I love all the Blakey records with Curtis Fuller. He really brought something extra to the band.

I agree.

Disc 2

 

Up next:

 

EDIT:
The Gifted Ones is such a great record! And nobody talks about it. Why??? 

This is a subtle masterpiece of blues and swing, people! Neglect it at your peril!!!

Rex, Wrecks and XXX, Disc 1: I bought this after a Shipp/Bisio duo gig a few years ago.  I finally have it on my Google Play library to explore more.  I don't usually listen to free jazz close before bedtime, but this is ending the night well.

Roscoe Mitchell - Before There was Sound (Nessa). An amazing "dead sea scrolls" document.

Mickey Bass ANOTHER WAY OUT

Carter Jefferson + some excellent playing by Steve Nelson.

Just not enough time to give these (and other classics) their due.

Painkiller - Execution ground

Exceptional stuff here but obscure for sure.
