Jazz for aficionados

@curiousjim , no need to thank me, glad to post something that you like. His playing is very 'intense', but he has some 'melodic' albums as well. Troubled man, I read, but great player. Here is one album where he plays as sideman, the album was posted here already, but perhaps that fact was not mentioned-

'Maggie's back in town', by Howard Mcghee. Like that album very much

Philadelphia Jazz

A book review carried in a recent edition of All About Jazz.  Looks to be an interesting read built around great photos.

A happy Thanksgiving to all.

For a manic jazz collector, this is a maddening task. So much has been listed here it's beyond. Maybe this already has, so apologies in advance. If I had to run out of the house right now - 

Booker Little "Out Front", original Candid LP pressing - I mean, really. If this incredible talent had not died from uremia at 23, who knows what would have happened.

As stated by Miles ...

'In his autobiography, Miles Davis made reference to “the great young trumpet player Booker Little,” and wrote of this Manassas cohort, “I wonder what they were doing down there when all them guys came through that one school?”'

I urge you to listen to this track and ask yourself as you are weeping for reasons you don't know, how?

This cut was dedicated to Nat Hentoff, (largely responsible for bringing Little to awareness), who broke down when he heard it and never got over the death of Booker.
