Is 'Space Flight' Grant's second recording?

Second issued recording. He played on a 1956 session by Tommy Dean (another St Louis organist) in 1956, which has never been issued. Dean sounds like a big influence on Lazar; his combo was rather like Doggett's but, instead of plodding, Dean's band FLEW! I'd love to hear what GG did in that context. I think Dean was probably quite important in a local way.

I would like to hear that too! Even though I did NOT like Grant's bio, i'm gonna look through it again because when i read it I had just gotten into jazz and knew nothing about most of the organists mentioned.

Yesterday, I stopped by a Boston used record store I hadn't hit in ages and came away with:

Oscar Aleman - Swing Guitar Masterpieces 1938 -1937 (Acoustic Disc)

Sun Ra and his Myth Science Arkestra - When Angels Speak of Love (Saturn/Evidence)

Ricky Ford - Manhattan Blues (Candid)

Bob Stewart - Then & Now (Postcards)

31PJMP69HYL._AA130_.jpg Jon Eardley - The Jon Eardley Seven

211C7NR9VVL._AA130_.jpg Jon Eardley - From Hollywood To New York (a 2-fer)

I was in the mood for some trumpet and discovered John Eardley in keeping with my goal to try and limit my new purchases to picking up artists I don't yet have in my collection. I'm looking forward to both as he shares the front line with Zoot Sims and Phil Woods on the first CD and with J.R. Monterose on half of the second. It should be some pretty nice stuff.

Fats Navarro - The Fats Navarro Story (Proper, 4 cd box)

Let us know what you think. I've had my eye on that box as well.

I've got it, and I like it a lot. I know a lot of people poo-poo Proper, but this box is a good way of getting a lot of Navarro for a little diniro. (Money, that is. Greenbacks. Treasury tea.)
