Jonathan Kranz,

I agree completely with you concerning
Lucky Thompson LUCKY STRIKES (this is from the mid-60's)
Tommy Flanagan Trio OVERSEAS (bassist is Wilbur Little)
Gene Ammons & Dodo Marmarosa JUG & DOD
Tomorrow I'll give you all details about the TCB-1001 and TCB-1002. As I'm not in home, I'll check all informations tonight.

Let me add the following record:

DUKE JORDAN LIVE IN JAPAN (Steeplechase), reissued in a double CD. This is a great session IMHO, with Jordan in fantastic form. I believe I never heard him play with such stream of ideas, so much fire and a big amount of swing, in complete rapport with Wilbur Little (bass) and the great Roy Haynes (drums). Jordan play many of his originals (Jordu, Paula, Scotch Blues, No Problem, the moving Misty Thursday) and many more. This recording came from two Japanese concerts and the sound quality is incredible, we can hear
and feel all the joy of the enthusiastic audience. Although Duke Jordan is overlooked by most people, he is one of my long standing favorites since the days he played on the unforgettable Charlie Parker quintet.
