All nice stuff! That cover is great!

let's keep it bouncin"

okayso, maybe the harmonies aren't as exotic as Ellington/Strayhorn, but dag the rhyhmic invention in those horn charts (shout out Sy Oliver); the tightness of the execution; the crispness of that guitar - the recording as a whole (how the drums and bass pop out during their showcases) i took a jazz appreciation course in college and the prof was very very high on Lunceford - i believed him then and am reminded like a slap in the face every time i listen - Jimmie L's should be mentioned on the short list of top bands every time, yet he remains a relative unknown to most (not you for sure, Chank) (be back later to throw Fletcher Henderson some love too)

Yeah, lots of that music gets overshadowed by Basie and Ellington:

yep, major Moten head here - he's a grandaddy

here's a non sequitur from the tail end of the big band vector while i get my FH choice together:

echoing Chank

looking forward (Coleman Hawkins' first composition)

another nugget bridging jazz and swing:

and another non sequitur, bc both Hawkins and Ellington have been mentioned:

lolwut

hope this hasn't been posted before (def seen a fair bit of AB on here, often from me, or Chank, of course, but don't remember this one in particular) bc it fits in perfectly with my nerdy lil #44

plus it's a great freqin' album and if you haven't heard it, what's wrong with you?

still can't stream Sam Jones' sweet New Directions album from 1979 (one of three that year!), but these are a nice consolation:

larger band, from 1961:

Pretty sure that Blythe's been posted before, but I'll never get sick of listenin' to it.

Some nice lunchtime jazz/play "Misty" for me:

you're right - probs more than once

but the last time appears to have been 5 years ago, so this'll catch up the latecomers

Well, let's get real, Dandolin, as with most of these genre-specific threads, you and I (and really not much of the "I" lately ) are the ones most postin' in 'em with occasionally a stray person poppin' in to post or comment.

okay - if you haven't posted this one in the past five years, cheers
