Complete Studio Recordings - GERRY MULLIGAN SEXTET CD featuring ART FARMER, BOB BROOKMEYER & JIM HALL with Bill Crow (bass), Dave Bailey (drums). Got this 'cloned' Euro Lone Hill Jazz 2005 CD 'copy' years before I was aware the company had no rights to these Philips/Limelight | Mercury recordings. The music is great but the sound is just OK, if a bit flat at times. All tracks from NIGHT LIGHTS (CD version) and the deleted BUTTERFLY WITH HICCUPS LP are included as well as an 8 page booklet.
MR. BLUES - HANK CRAWFORD (Atlantic) CD Recorded in NYC, 1965 & 1966 & originally issued on LP in 1967. Love the big and full sound on these excellent top notch Soul Jazz sessions. CD re-issued in 24-bit via Atlantic's Jazz 1000 Best Collection series.
(CD Columbia Legacy Austrian Press CK 86564) 2002 .... recorded between March 8th to October 8th, 1964 .... Charlie Rouse (ts) + Thelonious Monk (p) + Larry Gales (b) + Ben Riley (dr) .... it is just Friday 11th but a perfect time to play Thelonious Monk nevertheless .... btw underappreciated Charlie Rouse really shines here .... wonderful music to start the day ....

Lester Bowie – The 5th Power Label: Black Saint Format: CD, Album, Reissue Country: Italy Style: Free Jazz Alto Saxophone – Arthur Blythe Bass – Malachi Favors Drums – Phillip Wilson Piano, Vocals – Amina Myers* Trumpet – Lester Bowie Recorded April 1978. Discogs says the style is free jazz, but there's quite a bit of structure and in-the-box playing at times. A very good album IMO.
Think I’ll give this a spin just love this record that I found out about a few years ago because of this thread. My wife also likes this cover upfront on the stack in the living room.
First spin of another great release from the Blue Note 80 Vinyl Reissue Series Jutta Hipp, Ahmed Abdul-Malik, Ed Thigpen, Jerry Lloyd, Zoot Sims – Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims (1956)
