Helen Merrill Gil Evans “Collaboration” Emarcy cd

Beautiful.

This and its companion Contemporary release (which was Ornette’s first) are finally out on SACD and arrived here yesterday.

Ornette Coleman “Tomorrow is the Question” Contemporary/Craft Records SACD

Nice mastering.

[jazzophile]

Picked this up for $4US used last week. Listening today and no regrets. Her voice can go so deep. She even does a male-female duet that’s her overdubbed. Wow! Cedar Walton on piano. A great find at a brick & mortar music shop.

Ronnie Laws “Tribute to the Legendary Eddie Harris” Blue Note cd

I like both Ronnie and Eddie and this is actually quite a nice tribute album.

Happy birthday Louis–121 today!

Louis Armstrong “Now You Has Jazz–Louis Armstrong at MGM”

This is a cd I forget to play and it’s a very good one. Today is the day to put it on! Really nice music, especially the selections from “The Strip.”
