    Lee Morgan - Search For The New Land (Blue Note CDP 7 84169 2)

    Huge for me. I LOVE the music on that album. The title track is a masterpiece. Great band also, with Shorter and Hancock plus Reggie Workman and Grant Green. The best of Lee Morgan IMHO. Mastered by Ron McMaster.

    It was surprisingly good! One small local town had their town wide yard sale and it was fun til the sun came out from behind the clouds around noon. Ran into a few other record nuts along the way and we had a good time comparing notes. We're not in competition because we all like different genres with a little cross over here and there. I only have a few people in my area that care about Jazz so that helps on the finds.

    Last yard sale spin before going out to visit friends. This one has an old school feel...a comfortable listen.

    Georgie Auld's mood saxophone albums (circa 1950-1955) are phenomenal. Great tenor sax solos on every number. It is a real shame that they were never reissued

    The Resonance page is now up:

    https://resonancerecords.org/shop/n...L7rO34rdPHPt0Y-HJXz9Pooi6PTXgr49q5Zp7h9lEfoPc

    From this page:

    The majority of the set’s nearly 200 tracks focus on the first work by the King Cole Trio, the seminal combo that put Cole on the map with a swinging combination of jazz, jive, and pop, with an emphasis on his simpatico creative partnership with the trio’s longtime guitarist Oscar Moore.

    Hittin’ the Ramp compiles Cole’s recordings – among them the first versions of “Sweet Lorraine,” a staple of his ‘40s repertoire, and the R&B and pop hit “Straighten Up and Fly Right” – with his trio and in other studio settings (as sideman and accompanist) for Decca, Ammor, Excelsior, Premier, Mercury, and Philo (including a celebrated session for the latter label, founded by Norman Granz during the 1942 Musicians Union recording ban, with saxophonist Lester Young).

    It also contains dozens of transcriptions, mainly by the trio, cut by Standard, Davis & Schwegler, and MacGregor for servicing to radio stations, as well as wartime recordings produced for American servicemen by the Armed Forces Radio Service.

    The newly discovered selections include several performances that were not known to exist before research for the boxed set began. These include a privately recorded number, “The Romany Room is Jumping,” a homage to the titular Washington, D.C., club that hosted Cole’s group; the hitherto unheard Cinematone transcription “Trompin’”; and an unreleased 1940 trio rendering of Trummy Young’s “Whatcha’ Know Joe.”

    Last week I was listening to a great podcast called Bookshambles and their guest was Wendell Pierce - a famous actor who had roles in The Wire, Suits, and others. Anyway, toward the end of the discussion, the topic turned toward jazz, and at one point, Pierce had this to say. It gave me a lot of pause, and the applause from the audience was thunderous:

    "Ultimately, [Jazz] is what is best about America; freedom within form, being able to be a free individual and be a nation of laws, where you can honor the law and still be free and have individual rights. And that's what Jazz is. You are free to play whatever you want and improvise. We have a finite amount of notes, but an infinite amount of combination of those notes. Play and improvise solo, but within the constraints of the structure of this song. Then have a dialog, trading of fours. The drummer plays four bars, the trumpet player plays another four, and then they trade 2 and 2, and 1 and 1, and then come back together to play the melody of the song. The whole idea of the American conceit is in Jazz. Born from America's original sin of slavery, and illuminating what true liberty and freedom would be about; what the American idea is supposed to be about - true individual freedom while we can still honor and be a nation of laws." - Wendell Pierce
