Listening to the odd 1991 Capitol cd that uses the stereo cover but has the mono LP and 13 other tracks, and the “Something Cool” album is not in album order, but the songs all mixed up.

That said. . . I like it, and we sure got something cool today here in NE Ohio.

Followed by something a bit more heated. . . disc 2

Classic Jazz At The Philharmonic Jam Sessions 1950-1957, disc 2 of 10

I don’t believe I have heard this since it was first released–and it sat in the can a long time til 2014. Very nice recording and an excellent performance.

Bennie Green, Time Records/Solid Records Japan cd


(couldn’t find a good image of the cd).

A great session with Sonny Clark.


Setting in to a fantastic Kenny Burrell Tone Poet LP. In general I have been quite pleased with the Blue Note Tone Poet releases. As far as the music o this one, it speaks for itself, a classic.
