Six Organs Of Admittance - Losing Tracks Of Time (2019)
I'm losing track of all of Ben's albums. How is this one?

It's an anthology. I like it. Not as slow tempo'd as I feared.
Edit: still some slow numbers, but it's not plodding.

Billy Bauer - Plectrist (1956, Verve Elite Edition 2000)
This is one of those surprising "sideman steps out" projects that makes you wonder how much talent has been hiding in plain sight. Best known for his work with Lennie Tristano, Lee Konitz, and Warne Marsh, Bauer plays a solid (no pun intended) guitar. Accompanied by Andrew Ackers (piano), Milt Hinton (bass), and Osie Johnson (drums), Bauer's one and only star turn originally appeared on Norman Granz's Norgran label. Billy tells the story, as recounted on the Jazz Profiles website:
“Norman Granz told me, 'I want you to make a record date.' So I said. 'Okay.' I signed a contract. He said, 'Whenever you're ready, go on in there — any studio you want, anything you want to record, it's okay.' In other words. I could have had strings, whatever I wanted. And if I couldn't get a studio, get in touch with him, he'll find me one.
Then I forgot all about it. A year later he came into town, he called me up, he said, 'Where the hell is that record?' I said, 'Well, I never got around to it,' He said, 'You get down there and put your ass in that studio and make me a record!'
I said, 'Well, I gotta ...'And he said, 'No, you've thought about it. If you can't do it by now, you'll never be able to do it'. He was right!
So I just grabbed a couple of guys I'd been working with. I had been on a lot of dates with Milt Hinton and Osie Johnson, who did a lot of studio work in those days. I knew Andrew Ackers because I was working at NBC at the time."
on the Sam-O-Meter.

Various Artists - Du Barry Was A Lady (soundtrack 1943, Rhino Handmade reissue 2004)
Cole Porter's Broadway success starring Ethel Merman and Bert Lahr made its way to the silver screen sans Merman's brass, Lahr's perfect timing and most of Porter's songs .
The plot? Don't ask. Somehow Lucille Ball Red Skelton wind up in Louis XIV's drawing room.
The music is so much fun that the storyline is unimportant. Tommy Dorsey and his ork pitch in to give the proceedings a stronger big band flavor than the sturdy MGM ensemble under the baton of Lennie Hayton could ever manage.
