Whats on your turntable tonight?

Count Basie & Zoot Sims – Basie & Zoot (Pablo 1976)

Going great until Basie started playing an organ. Good grief, the rig is resolving enough to hear the gawdawful sound that makes with the volume up.

Gogi Grant – Welcome To My Heart (RCA Victor 1958)

The Howard Roberts Quartet / H.R. is a dirty guitar player.

Garland Jeffreys / Ghost Writer

Gene & Debbe – Hear & Now (TRX 1968)

thought you might get a chuckle from the following “endorsement” from the back of the Howard Roberts LP.

“I always play Howard Roberts’ album in the operating room. It keeps the morale of my staff high and I notice the patients tap their toes even though they are under ether. Then too, I can dance with the nurses while I’m waiting to find out if the operation was a success.

slow and steady

I’ve been known to sing along to “up on cripple creek” while on the operating table. Or, so I’m told.
During one pre-op appointment I met my surgeon. Dr. Wu.

I requested Steely Dan in the O.R.
