Does Anybody At CBR Listen To Jazz?

[Jekyll]

Been listening to

Jack Teagarden - Basin Street Blues
(Ⓟ © 2011 Acrobat Licensing Ltd.)

Love some Jack Teagarden! I highly recommend him to my younger trombone students.

After listening to Jack Teagarden I put on

Charlie Barnet - Leapin' at the Lincoln

Doesn't seem like it.

I do sometimes, but mostly smooth Jazz like this band

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

[MajorHoy]

Currently listening to

Blue Note Blend (Vol. 1) - various artists

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 . . .

[MajorHoy]

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.

[MajorHoy]

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.

[MajorHoy]

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".

[MajorHoy]

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
