What Jazz are you listening to now?

Random bit of news: 82-year-old bassist Reggie Workman has just won a Guggenheim Fellowship!

Last night first time listening to Thelonious Monk's complete sessions for "Les Liaisons Dangereuses". Luxurious packaging and notations. Barney Wilen doesn't get to improvise much at all, but when he plays he sounds like Coleman Hawkins Jr.

You reminded me I need to listen to some Monk.     I am happy hearing the news about Reggie Workman.

Huge fan here as well  Do you have a favorite album? I think mine would have to be Unit Structures.

I've had Coltrane in my heavy rotation this last week, finished listening to Live at Temple University earlier.

As Ellington put it, the art is not in the categories, but "in the cooking."

At first glance I thought you had posted a jazz recording by Groucho Marx.

...Many of those old Xanadu titles are excellent. Barry Harris, one of my favorites, was practically the label's house pianist.
Speaking of Al Cohn, he can (surprisingly) be heard on this classical recording:

Now listening:

A favorite hmm Jeez likek em all, but The Great Paris Live  is probably my favorite of all, I do like also more recently Arthur Doyle and his Quiet Screamers, this remind me of captain Beefheart in a way, but more Jazz.
