I needed more Duke in my day.

Duke Ellington Orchestra “Latin American Suite” OJC cd

There’s just such sloppy elegance in their playing.

Each of those were where I jumped into the modern world of listening hard as a teen and up. Music that has become part of my mental DNA.

Must resist . . . it’s not fitting in with my scheduled listening for my last hours before the weekend drought.

Snooky Young! I haven’t heard that name for a long time.

It’s a nice name, for a good player!

Right now,

“The Complete Roulette Jack Teagarden Sessions” disc IV

I have several versions of this material, stereo and mono LPs and Japanese SHM-CDs, and it all sounds so good. Jack’s playing and singing are a good fit for my today. And Don Goldie should have gotten better occasions to record, he was a real talent.

TELARC is one of my favor labels too, still remember buying the a cd many many years ago and the sales clerk was like “don’t play too loud at first, it blew my speakers”

Don’t fight the urge, I enjoy them even more now. They have aged like a fine port, well you get the idea.

I thought I had most of Jackson’s recording. I can’t find this recording on Qobuz or Discogs.

That wasn’t too hard:

Milt Jackson - Burnin’ in the Wood…


A different flavor of xylophone, featuring Bengt Berger, Bitter Funeral Beer.

I love this one, too! Have the original and Alto audiophile vinyl.

Made me pull this one out, which also is surprisingly good! It has the most real sounding baritone sax (solo) on a big band recording ever.

To these ears, at times, Duke Ellington is at his best in ultra low-fi, as it best conveys a sense of nostalgia and yearning. Creole Love Call from this ’44 Carnegie Hall Concerts set exemplifies my point.
