The first of three. A box set on vinyl.
Thanks for the heads-up!
Just about every week the new jazz releases on Tidal and Qobuz feature something new and interesting. This week, as was the case the Binker Golding release I shared above, London is the hot spot. Sounds a bit like an update or continuation on the best of electric Miles. Highly recommended.

Another round of eBay sales of a jazz vocal collection has concluded. This was one of the gems I acquired. While Ella’s previous Berlin live recording is widely known for her Mack the Knife, overall I think this is a more satisfying concert, but she never disappoiints.

Found this delightful recording by the highly underrated trumpet player Harry Beckett. It’s only available as an ACC stream (ACC 44.1kHz) and begs the question: what’s more important, the music or the format? I know my answer, what’s yours?

I hadn’t listened much to Dee Dee Bridgewater until these three excelent albums came in the last batch of the eBay vocal jazz selloff. Much fine listening here. (And another is coming in the next batch - eagerly awaiting its arrival).

“I’d say we’re not in the middle of a golden age of jazz right now, but these things go in cycles and I have every reason to believe that if the planet can survive for the next generation, we’ll see other wonderful things happen.” into the jazz ’cause jazz it’s an indefinite music. It’s about creation and surprise. It just needs to be appreciated and watered like flowers. You have to water the flowers and the great art highlights will come back, I’m sure. What worries me most is whether our entire civilization will be present in the next 25 years. I think we are in the middle of a period where we are committing this suicide on the planet, and everyone is just using up all of our natural resources like a bunch of lunatics. This is what I care about way more than I care about jazz. “ ~ Sonny Rollins
