Maartenkools, so cool that you pulled out the Waldron/Shepp. I love that disc. I haven’t listened to it in two years or more but am pulling it out today. When I first saw it I thought, this is gonna be weird. I bought it because I love Mal, and bought whatever he released. I’m mixed n Shepp, but when I fired it up, I was like WOW. Thanks for reminding me of it.

The stars must be in alignment again here in the Jazz Collective. For the last few days, without knowing exactly why, I seem to have been listening to a lot of Bill Evens lps than usual… Especially his work with Tony Bennett. (Now I know why !)
…It’s always interesting to see an autograph with the date it was signed to help establish some form of provenance. Then there are items like the Mingus letter above can actually transcend beyond the autograph itself, and provide insights into the artist at a certain period in time. In this case, the fabled (and short-lived) Debut Record label founded by Mingus and his wife. Definitely worth a few bids I say !
