I really like Night Train. Got the ORG, 45RPM reissue a while back; 
Can’t go wrong with Ella.

I’ve lusted after an ORG copy of Night Train for a couple of years now but prices are sky high now!
There’s a used CD copy for £15 on the river.
I posted this on the What Are You Listening To thread earlier and meant to copy it here. This is Dolphy’s second album as a leader. It’s a great sound, with some wonderful cello from Ron Carter.
I followed that with this one, Dolphy’s first as a leader, but forgot to post it on the WAYLT thread. Neither are particularly outside, but they do introduce some great ideas.
I recommend these to the jazz enthusiasts reading this thread. They’re both worth hunting out and will reward with much enjoyment.

I remember when that ‘Water Babies’ came out - 1976 I think. At the time Miles had just gone into his retirement and there was an ominous silence for a year or so. Side 1 is absolutely prime ‘60s Quintet’ material which served as a reminder just how good that group with Hancock and Shorter was. Side 2 with the Holland/Corea lineup was very different but intriguing too and with Tony Williams evolving towards his ‘Lifetime’ style. Corky McCoy’s cover art was a bit of a curate’s egg at the time but I have grown to like it ! Certainly resonated in terms of theme with the 1976 Summer drought.

I wonder how many people spot the picture of Bill Evans on the sleeve?

Found another Oscar Peterson Plays Cole Porter in my loft I have a couple of crates up there that got banished from the living room after I was accused of taking it over.
It’s probably a charity shop buy from back when you could still buy such things for a pound or less. It’s on the EMI sub mfp but sounds no worse for it a beautiful glossy thick card cover, Emitex inner and nice quality original vinyl.
The track listing is different from the one I posted yesterday with maybe two duplicated tracks.
Although sometimes Oscar’s playing can get a bit much for me he was a fantastic piano player capable of creating real beauty.

I have a few of Ella’s recordings on Norman Granz’s Pablo records most notably Fitzgerald & Pass Again with Joe Pass which I’ve posted before and get’s played a lot but this one with Count Basie not so much it does have it’s moments though.
Boring music fact it was recorded at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland which was located inside a casino and was bought by Queen in the 70’s and is now a Queen museum according to Wikipedia.
