From November, 1960



Maybe the worst recorded "sound" I have of Satch.  Sounds like the master tapes were in pretty bad shape, even missing some sound here and there.  Would rec. for only hardcore Armstrong fans, who will still lap it up like myself. 

Also:

some recommendations of jazz in general (without restricting me to 1950-1970):

Sonny Rollins - The Bridge (1962)
Andrew Hill - Andrew!!! (1964)
John Coltrane - The John Coltrane Quartet Plays (1965)
Miles Davis - Agharta (1975)
John Scofield - Hand Jive (1993)
Roy Campbell Ensemble - Akhenaten Suite (2008)

What lacks in this short list is some pre 1960 jazz (Parker, Ellington and some more swing), another hard bop album besides Hill (McLean, Hubbard or Montgomery). Then you already have a nice jazz collection :).

Grabbed these two on vinyl tonight.  The first I used to own and had to get it again once the turntable was up and running.

Watched the first set of the Cannonball and loved it.

Don't know about anyone else, but I hear music differently when I see it being played.

Some Japanese CDs I bought before they were available domestically:



Listening to Cannonball's Know What I Mean and Sonny Rollins +4 lately.

I might. Hate the though of vinyl in international orders though.

If you order from these guys, their packaging is practically bulletproof:

As for Jazz in general, a fellow I used to T.A. for at UVa is at last bringing out a book of which he is co-author, in 2009.

How is that one?  ;)

I've been listening to Miles' Tutu a lot lately.  On the Corner is on deck for a lot of listening.  I've given it a few spins over the past few weeks and I get the feeling I'll be listening to it a lot more once Tutu has given me all I can absorb for now.
