What Jazz are you listening to now?

[Joseph K]

Wot?! No Louis Armstrong??!!!

Brilliant shopping, Joseph - hope it was just one of many delights for you today.

Thanks! By the time I'd got back someone had sent me a 20 pound Amazon voucher, so: the delights continued.

Just noticed that I have an e-mail from Hampshire Cricket Club to advise that I have priority for tickets to see Westlife at the Ageas Bowl. Wondered if they were any good?

I've heard one of them bowls a mean "doosra"

'Smokin' at the Half Note' by Wes Montgomery

Currently listening to this. Wes's solo on No Blues is eminently danceable.

Picked up a couple of parcels today - Charlie Parker 'Chasin' the Bird', a boxed set of his live recordings and the John Coltrane set 'European Tour 1961' which I mentioned over on the Bargains thread. Currently listening to the first disk of the Charlie Parker box.

Both boxes seem nicely presented with good booklets.

the John Coltrane set 'European Tour 1961' which I mentioned over on the Bargains thread.

Currently listening to the first disk of this. Sound quality is pretty good.

Currently the second disk of this.

… now the third, which features Bird with Fats Navarro, Bud Powell, Curley Russell and Art Blakey.

I appear to be the only jazz listener recently.

This session is a desert island job for me, if I could go back in time this is the session I would be transported to - sheer genius.
