  1. i'm not wild about this LP — it's ok, but maybe i should make space on my shelf and spin something new (i mean old) in its place

    i paid six bucks for it a few years ago ... i'll bet i could still get a couple bucks for it!

    it bears mentioning that paul chambers went to my high school

    tommy flanagan is also from detroit, but he didn't go to cass tech, he graduated from northern (as did my father before him)

  6. Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington: Song Book One, 1980 on Pablo Today

    First of two records of Sarah Vaughan doing Duke Ellington songs recorded in 1979 and released in 1980 (there is a Song Book Two, also released in 1980). Produced by Norman Granz, and engineered by Val Valentin and Bob Simpson.

    Supporting artists include Waymon Reed (trumpet), J. J. Johnson (trombone), Frank Foster (tenor sax), Frank Wess (flute, tenor sax), Zoot Sims (tenor sax), Jimmy Rowles & Mike Wofford (piano), Joe Pass & Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar), Andy Simpkins (bass), and Grady Tate (drums), with Billy Byers arranging and conducting.

    Pablo Today was a sub-label that started in 1979 and focused on “non-mainstream jazz” – not sure what that means but I’ve had great luck picking up Pablo records in general.

    My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal Québec, is an original 1980 US pressing. with “Manufactured by Pablo Records” rim text.

  8. Count Basie/Joe Turner - The Bosses

    Another late-period gem from Pablo (like you couldn’t tell, given the Pablo-esque cover), with Basie and crew backing up Turner in fine form. Blues front to back.

    Band includes Zoot Sims & Eddie Davis (tenor), JJ Johnson (trombone), Harry Edison (trumpet), Ray Brown (bass), Irving Ashby (guitar), and Louie Bellson (drums).

  10. Kai Winding & J.J. Johnson = The Great Kai & J.J.

    Since the last appearance of Kai Winding & J.J. Johnson, the pair broke up on good terms, and this is from their first reunion in 1960.

    They're joined by Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers or Tommy Williams (bass), and Art Taylor or Roy Haynes (drums).

    Classically RvG sounding, and very enjoyable.

  13. Kai Winding and J.J. Johnson - K + J.J.

    Another little gem from Dad's collection - and something I haven't encountered before: what looks to be a quintet led by...two trombonists. Anyway, this mono 1955 Bethelem "East Coast Jazz" release bops right through a set of standards in fine style.

    Always interesting to see how the labels would try to come up with striking images to grab your attention in the racks, too.
