In my last post I mistakenly referred to the title of the “new” Blakey recording as “Coolin’ It”. The correct title is “Just Coolin’”. The title tune “Just Coolin” also appears on “At The Jazz Corner of the World”, a double album of live performances recorded a few weeks later. This live double album includes three or four additional tunes that were recorded earlier for the “Just Coolin” studio release which was not released until recently.
Btw, if shopping for “At the Jazz Corner of the World”, don’t confuse it with “Meet Me at the Jazz Corner of the World”, a different live double album recorded a couple of years later with a different lineup.
