Jazz LP's

You know I think a Jazz Category would be great. Having said that, I was the recipient last summer of a number of records from my daughter's, boyfriend's, grandmother. She lives in downtown LA area and her and her husband were deep into the Jazz scene in the 50's, 60's and 70's. A visit to her house allowed me to pick up a bunch of albums (3 milk crates). Well I scored a number of really good albums but three have really stood out for me.

Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall - very good+ to nm condition. I am not much of a Miles fan but this performance along with his Kinda of Blue is exceptional. Also, it is a mono version which I really like.

Duke Ellington's Spacemen - The Cosmic Scene in nm condition. There are a number of additional Duke's LP's but I have not listened to them yet. What a great performance this album is. I really enjoy his performances, so smooth and musical

Lester Young - he was a personnel friend of theirs so I got about 5-6 albums. I have listened to a couple and find his jazz to be real smooth and subtle. Very pleasing, even my wife, who is not a big jazz fan real enjoed the albums I played.

I will be cueing up a Sarah Vaughn album and a Basie/Eckstine album later this weekend.

I sure wish I would have been collecting this type of music back in the 60's and 70's. As I get older I find both the musicallity and complexity more appealing every time I listen.

Well back to listening.
