Whats on your turntable tonight?

Oops... "Ascenseur Pour L'Echaffaud"

Derek Trucks Band - "already free"

Lonnie Johnson with Elmer Snowden -- "Blues, Ballads and Jumpin' Jazz" - Analogue Productions APR 3001. Great music making by these long time blues musicians. The interplay between them in the studio will make you feel like they've walked into your music room and settled down on the couch.

Jackie McLean, "Bluesnik" - Blue Note 84067-45 -- yet another superb Music Matters 45 rpm Blue Note reissue.

Hearing these two records come alive on one's system makes all the effort worthwhile.

- Octet for Wind Instruments
- Pastorale for Vn and Qt of Wind Instruments
- Ragtime for Eleven Instruments
- Septet (1953)

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: "A Night in Tunisia" -- Blue Note 84049-45 -- Another gem from the Music Matters 45 rpm reissue series.
