Stan Getz / Lionel Hampton ~ Hamp and Getz (1991. 1955)



I'll swan, until I take a closer look, it seems like Hamp is ready to wallop Stan on the front cover of this album, maybe with a violin or a mandolin.

Love the music, though. It just makes me happy.

Eddie Harris - Mean Greens (1966)

 

[JazzyRandy]

Dave Holland Big Band - Overtime (2005)

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

The Essential Django Reinhardt

Essential? Well, not really - these are all recordings from 1949-1950 (many with the quintet with Stephane Grappelli
But who cares - the music is fantastic. I like to alternate between this and the great Anthology 1934-37

Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table and Dreaming (1994)


I think it's been decided that today I'm listening only to albums with "band" in the group's name.
Now I'm sad I don't have a J Geils album.
