After listening to Jack Teagarden I put on
Charlie Barnet - Leapin' at the Lincoln

I posted this on the "Return of Your Recent CD's/Music Purchases" thread, but figured I'd share it here, too, since some of what I got was jazz, and other stuff sometimes crosses over:
Went to a library book sale and picked up a bunch of cds, too.
* Bessie Smith - The Complete Recordings Vol. 1 <two cd set>
* Frank Sinatra - The Voice / The Columbia Years (1943-1952) <four cd set>
* Blue Note Blend and Blue Note Blend 2 - various artists
<both cds from Starbucks Coffee>
* Artie Shaw – Best Of The Big Bands (1990 CBS Records Inc.)
* Cafe New York - Classical Sounds of New York City - various artists
* Jackson Pollock Jazz - various artists
(The Museum of Modern Art)
* Priceless Jazz Collection sampler - various artists
* News & The Blues (Telling It Like It Is) - various artists
(Roots n' Blues series)
Had been listening to
The Fats Waller Collection 1922-43

but have now moved on to
Jackson Pollock / Jazz - (various artists)
(Ⓟ Ⓒ 1998 The Museum of Modern Art)
Went back to that book sale I went to on Saturday because today was half-price day, and also got on CD:
Mel Tormé - Prelude To A Kiss
Currently listening to
Blue Note Blend (Vol. 1) - various artists
(Ⓟ Ⓒ 1995 Capitol Records, Inc.)
Blue Note Blend 2 (Vol. 2) - various artists
(Ⓟ Ⓒ 1996 Capitol Records, Inc.)
Unfortunately, I don't know if Starbucks sells cds in their stores these days . . .
Currently listening to
Artie Shaw – Best Of The Big Bands
(Ⓟ Ⓒ 1990 CBS Records Inc.)
another of the cds I bought at a library book sale a couple of weekends ago.
Interesting thing is I don't think I had most of these cuts on my other Artie Shaw cds, and a few of the songs I had previously heard other versions of as sung by Billie Holiday.
Now on to
Glenn Miller – Greatest Hits
(Ⓟ Ⓒ 1996 BMG Music)
NOTE: My Dad was a fan of Glenn Miller. I originally bought this cd for him many years ago.
The death of Doris Day put me in the mood to listen to
Les Brown - Best of the Big Bands
(Ⓟ&Ⓒ 1998 Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd.)
which had some of Day's vocals on cuts like "You Won't Be Satisfied Until You Break My Heart" and "Sentimental Journey".
Recently bought:
The Essential Glenn Miller cd
(Bluebird / Legacy
2005 Sony BMG Music Entertainment)
but right now I've been listening to some Benny Goodman cds.
Benny Goodman - Best of the Big Bands

The Very Best of Benny Goodman

Ornette Coleman
