The latest playlist.
We have the good, the great and then there is Ella.

The Good: 3-4 Stars
Jay McShann & John Hicks -- The Missouri Connection
Danilo Perez -- PanaMonk
Freddie Redd Quartet -- Shades of Redd
Lou Rawls & les McCann -- Stormy Monday
Stanley Turrentine with the Three Sounds (2 cd set)
Ben Webster & Oscar Peterson -- Ben Meets Oscar
Sonny Clark -- Cool Struttin'
all of the above had their moments, but a lot of, run of the mill stuff also.

The Great: 5 stars
Thelonious Monk -- Monk in Paris (live at the olympia)
includes DVD.

Charlie Rouse -- Epistrophy (his last recording)

Clark terry -- The Second Set (live at the village gate)

Harry 'sweets' Edison & Eddie 'lockjaw' Davis -- Sweets & Lockjaw live in Copenhagen

I just love all those old timers. They play Jazz. if you don't like the above, you don't like jazz.

Now,Words are not enough, you must hear this!: not enough stars in the milky way!

Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie -- A Perfect Match (live in montreux, switzerland)
There will never be another. She is so effortless. You will smile all the way thru the CD. Unique among all jazz singers I have heard, she has FUN! And you can feel, hear and sense it throughout the set. Enjoys her work. Esp on the tune 'Basella' The playful interplay between her and band is just wonderful!!
Ain't got it? Git it!

Cheers
Rok, I was just listening to one of my CD's that would fit in your collection. "Dizzy Gillespie duets with Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt". It's from an LP that was on verve. If you don't got it, get it.

Enjoy the music.
Sonny Side Up? -- Have It! I need to listen Dizzy a little bit more.
Cheers
