Time flies! Steve Lehman & Sélébéyone's self titled debut was released 10 years ago this August. Totally knocked me over when I first heard it, and I maintain it's one of the best albums of the past decade. Honored to have introduced the group (sans Gress, alas) for their gig at Molde Jazz in 2017.

Should also add that the original recordings are acoustical so to contemporary ears they'll sound kinda off, for lack of a better word. Any upgrade in remastering is a plus. see: www.loc.gov/collections/...

Look, it's simple. Everyone needs Jelly Roll Morton in their collection. If these sound better than the sets I already have then it's worth every penny.

Not to piss on anyone’s chips, but Hookland won’t be doing any ‘31 days of spookiness’ malarkey. Halloween is not that big a thing in a county that does hauntings in a matchbox every day of the year. The gothic is not tinsel on this ghost soil, it’s a bone tattoo.

Jazz OTD: "No Room For Squares" was definitely the best title in tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley's discography, and possibly the best album too (among fierce competition). He recorded most of it on October 2, 1963 with Lee Morgan (tp), Andrew Hill (p), John Ore (b), and Philly Joe Jones (d). #jazzsky

Each time I see an announcement of the banning of THE BLUEST EYE, I pick up the book from its pride of place on my desk, open it to a random page, and read a passage aloud, relishing its lyricism. "So when I think of autumn, I think of somebody with hands who does not want me to die."
