  1. Swinging into the weekend with the great Jutta Hipp. Alas, her "career" as a jazzer was short-lived (Leonard Feather - no matter his merits - was a pretty toxic dude in today's terminology, it seems).

  4. Even more Sunday vinyl ... a pretty expensive but indeed very pretty LP released by Sam Records, containing the Cannes 1958 set (shortened?) by the Donald Byrd Quintet with Bobby Jaspar, Walter Davis Jr., Doug Watkins and Art Taylor.

  5. Doug Watkins (2 Mar 1934–5 Feb 1962) was not a flashy bass player – but one of the greats of the modern jazz era. "A Little Bit of Basie" by the Red Garland Trio - with Specs Wright on drums:

  7. Playing some Debussy from the "Portrait" box by Ivan Moravec (Supraphon, 2020) to end the day.

    Be aware that the CDs in this box are packed in sleeves that damage them over time (same for the Kabelac Symphonies box) - if you have not done so, remove those stiff, slightly slimey plastic sleeves right away (from wherever you find them, other labels use them as well, notably UK jazz labels Ogun/Cadillac)

  21. Thomas Strønen was born on this day in 1972. HIs album "Bayou" with Ayumi Tanaka and Marthe Lea ranks highly in my recent ECM Records favourites. A very quiet, moody album that may need a few spins to let you discover its charms.
