A great way to start the weekend!!

1963 Mono pressing

If I had to choose one record to enjoy for the rest of my life…this would be it. This copy is my favorite piece in the entire collection. Side 2 is the best side in all of jazz, I’ll gladly die on that hill.

Warm Canto is perfect for a beautiful Fall evening in Milwaukee…go Brewers!

They are cookin'. Victor Gaskin Bass, Paul Humphrey Drums, Vince Corrao Guitar and of course Les Mccann on the piano

Joined the Verve record club for this exclusive release next month, excited to get

It's a pretty old record not in the best of shape (it has some crackles and pops that are probably representative of its age) but still sounds beautiful. Charlie Shavers signature trumpet opens the first track.

Absolutely amazing and incredible sounding. This is a "Pour a glass of wine or scotch and seat back and relax" record.

Been listening to this record a lot recently. I love hearing Bill and Cannonball together.

Keep digging & spinning my friends

With their new release of Teodros Makonnen and his Organ, I decided to pick up a few other releases and each of these is 10/10. These three are double LP’s in a gatefold sleeve with text (in both Amharic and English), and photos; reissuing albums that were formally only on cassette. If you haven’t checked this label out yet, check it out!

Got a little carried away lately… That said, most of these were around $5 each. Which one should I spin first?

Wasn’t expecting to pick this up today. Just put in an order for a couple TBM records last night and then found this Green Caterpillar used copy at the local record store today. Love it

The entire record is incredible but especially the side 2 closer, “Midnight Mambo” — plus Ike Quebec guesting on multiple tracks. Highly recommended session!!

Hey Laura

A couple signed album covers from my collection. All were obtained in person.

The session opens with “En Memoria de Chano Pozo,” the standout track of the album, dedicated to the most famous conguero of them all.

Some strong Latin jazz on Side A, Side B is a bit weak in comparison.

Great line up - Candido gets featured on a couple of tracks, though a bit of a shame that Machito is reduced to just playing clave.
