This morning I listened to a disc that arrived in the mail yesterday. It's a Japanese LP facsimile cd in the TOCJ 'Super Bit Jazz Classics" series from years back. I had wanted to buy it then but hesitated at the high prices I saw, even though I have the material on LP and in a Mosaic set. Finally saw a reasonably priced copy, and it was sealed. I love this material--good old good 'uns as Pops would say, and Tea is in fine form and well-presented in excellent Capitol recordings:
Jack Teagarden "This is Teagarden"

After that I wanted to hear another horn player with as lyrical a sound and method:
Gary Bartz, "Reflections of Monk--The Final Frontier" Steeplechase cd
