    Sorry for the radio silence over here, lots of work deadlines over the last few months. I've been here following, but little posting. Picked up this reissue recently, as much for my interest in Bud Shank as for Bruce Brown, whose film this music accompanied. Great stuff but wildly disappointed...

    Sorry for the low-rez photo, and also sorry I didn't post about this hours ago because there was a wonderful live Bossa Nova set today on WKCR by the Anthony Fuscaldo Group. The trio recently released an album called Journal Square, which I plan to check out asap.

    Casual Affair - The John Mehegan Quartet Adding this to my collection of records by John Mehegan, who, as I've mentioned before, taught a history of jazz class I took in college. This is a beautiful session, but sometimes Kenny Dorham seems a bit lost. Surprising as he was already a rising star...

    Barry Harris Sextet - Luminescence! I posted about this recently, but have it on tonight and was reading the liner notes by Ira Gitler when a couple of sentences really leapt out. He notes, "I am one of those people who believes that if music can make you feel better it is doing something very...

    Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers With Thelonious Monk Yet another from the fair - think there may be a couple of more still. Love this record, found a great reissue from around 1966 in excellent shape.

    Abbey Lincoln - That’s Him! Still going through the batch from the fair. Interesting record, only Lincoln’s second, and I’m still trying to come to a full opinion, will probably need several listens but pleased so far. There’s an impressive group of musicians on here, including Max Roach, her...

    Gary Burton - The New Quartet This is the most recent release in my record fair batch and it’s still 50 years old. Lovely stuff sounds exactly of its era. Burton’s vibes are recorded really well. Also, nice minimalist silver ECM sleeve that some goober along the way dinged up by ripping off the...

    Great track, such a nice groove. Way too short, guess they felt they had said it all!

    Barry Harris Sextet - Luminescence Big and brassy with lovely playing by Harris. Another from the WFMU record show. Thought @Gannon might like this!

    Phineas Newborn Jr. - Here Is Phineas Another from the WFMU record fair this weekend. This is a beautiful album! Newborn got some flack at the time for being too “technical” but I find plenty of emotion in the playing.

    Johnny Coles - Little Johnny C WFMU record convention in NYC this weekend. First one since the pandemic. Always a lot of fun. Picked up this Johnny Coles B/N Liberty 70s reissue. I was somewhat familiar with this, but wanted a copy. Recording sounds good, actual record quality itself just okay...

    Out Of The Afternoon - Roy Haynes Quartet, After waiting for something like a year and a half or more for this pre-order, it finally showed up. Was it worth the wait? Well, sure, but sheesh. Anyway, sounds great!

    Billie Holiday - Songs For Distingue Lovers Down a deep rabbit hole at work so not much time for music lately - but this arrived the other day and I finally got to give it a spin. Gorgeous sounding and great players with Ms. Holiday.

    Believe this is the last record from my recent Paris trip. Jazz organ, starts off w/ a lively version of Night in Tunisia. Kenny Clarke on drums. Very nice so far!

    Jazz Sur Seine - Milt Jackson, Barney Wilen, et. al. I realize this recent reissue is widely available here in the US, but picked it up with the recent batch of French jazz, the common denominator being Wilen. Sounds great!
