Ben Webster - See You at the Fair (1964)
I saw this post and thought to myself, "Now there's one I haven't heard yet." So, I went to Allmusic to see it rated highly.
Then, I went to Discogs and ordered and purchased the CD.
About an hour later, there is a knock at my door. It is Maria Campagnolo, the widow of John, who asked if I know anyone who would be interested in taking some old 78s. I said that I knew some collectors, and I would be happy to take them, and turn them in for her. Of course, I was thinking they were old shellac 78s.
It turns out they are LPs, and not 78s at all. Two boxes with about 25-30 albums in each. Full of Jazz. Bop. Post-Bop. Eric Dolphy, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, Miles and Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins, Pepper Adams, Thelonious Monk, Donald Byrd.
And, there it was. Ben Webster's "See You at the Fair." I have never ordered a CD and received the LP within the hour.
Mind you, some of these are in very good shape and some not so good. There are broken spines a-plenty.
Record jacket spines, that is. Don't worry; I was able to carry them over without any mishaps.
I will need to give these a good cleaning before I listen. When I post them, I will likely designate them as from the John Campagnolo Memorial Jazz Collection, Vinyl Section.

Wes Montgomery - A Day in the Life (1967)
First album released on Creed Taylor's CTI label - "Windy" peaked just outside of the top 44, but Wes' Beatles title track cover is very trippy.

rainshine87: that's because this isn't post-rock.
due to the weird fact that every release where a godspeed member has been on is tagged as post-rock, people think it MUST be post rock. this is chamber music.
listen to Steve Reich or so, and you'll see where they got their influence for "Histories Repeating" from. I am glad their members are doing new stuff, and clowns who think it must sound like godspeed, mono, explosions in the sky or other "post-rock", ruin it.
this is a very good album of natural feeling chamber-music instrumentals. but if you are a fan of super-fancy post-rock, this isn't an album for you.

I love it. It generates no hate in me at all.
