WIKI - New Orleans Suite

Excellent choice-- this and the AfroEurasian Eclipse are two standout Ellington albums from this period for me. I like the way that the first track has an organ, and the last track manages to mimic the sound of an organ with his band.

Sadly, Johnny Hodges died between sessions on this album.

I'm not James, but I've got thoughts ; )

A particularly tasty cover of Mingus's "Goodbye, Pork Pie Hat," Bill.

What is the difference between a blues musician and a jazz musician?
A blues musician plays 3 chords in front of a 1000 people. A jazz musician plays a 1000 chords in front of three people.

One of my favorite Monk recordings.

One of my favorite Monk recordings.

A place or two where one of the winds is caught off guard, but nothing detracting.  I do like both these.  Really, the scary thing is how I'm just enjoying practically every note of what I hear of Monk.

Discussion about jazz seems to have disappeared from this thread.

A pity, that.

Most of the recent posts seem to be spam.

Why so?

I noticed that too. Just a bunch of pictures of albums that I may or may not have.

This is apparently a distillation of a 6-CD box. I'm especially enjoying the two Monk covers.
