Tonight’s bed time gin and jazz.
Sorta start of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Some nice Monk. Bit of crooning with Thelonious comping (bet you didn’t know BN got involved with that stuff). Some bluesy Donaldson. I always enjoyed John Lewis’s gentle,spacious piano work.
Brew dog gin (heavily junipered,Fevertree tonic and lime.

And Michael appears very happy with his copy.
He does , frustratingly mine is still sitting in the post office.
Another iconic Reid Miles cover and another excellent choice.
Hubtones was recorded on the 10/10/1962 with
James Spaulding on Flute & Alto
Reginald Workman on Bass
Clifford Jarvis on Drums
Herbie Hancock on Piano
It was Number 415 in the 4000 series probably Blue Note’s most successful and arguably it’s best series musically starting with,
Number 4001: Sonny Rollins - Newk’s Time (9/22/57) and ending with
Number 4435: Hank Mobley - Straight No Filter (3/7/63, 2/5/65, 6/17/66)
That’s 435 titles in less than 9 years which works out a fraction over one per week RVG was a very busy boy.

I dragged the ‘Uncompromising Expression’ book with me on the train to London and back, yesterday and today, Weighs a ton. But a fascinating read. As you say, RVG was a busy chap. And come to think of it - Reid Miles too. How did he knock out so many consistently brilliant pieces of artwork to accompany the music?

Another excellent Reginald Workman date this time with Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers on the incredible Indestructible. Lee Morgan is at his very best on this recording though they are not usually known for their Ballads I’ve selected
When Love Is New

A google of ‘Listening to Prestige’ will fill you in on the Weinstock label’s prodigious output.

Great cd. Lee Morgan is also fantastic.
I saw Bechet live in London in the 50s. Amazing sound he produced from his soprano sax.
My seat was a long way back which as not so good.
