Chico Hamilton Quintet - Gongs East! (1958)

Just a little treat, but a nice one. Gentlemen, start your samplers. G'day!

Track list:
A1  Beyond the Blue Horizon
A2 I Gave My Love a Cherry
B1 Long Ago and Far Away
B2 Passion Flower

Johnny Hodges and Earl Hines - Stride Right (1966)

These two play like they look, for laughs and for ladies. The record is nothing spectacular, but it's not trying to be either. Decent Jazz, good Sunday afternoon soundtrack. You can find it for as little as 3$ bucks, not in Berlin though, because there are two black guys on the cover. Enjoy with a Bill Cosby face!

Track list:
A1 Caution Blues (Blues in 3rds)
A2 Stride Right
A3 Rosetta
A4 Perdido
A5 Fantastic — That's You
B1 Tale Of the Fox
B2 I'm Beginning to See the Light
B3 C Jam Blues
B4 Tippin' It

Buddy Rich Big Band - Mercy, Mercy (1968)

Booya! Grooving like mid day traffic jam in metropolis. But it might also be a hot day by the beach. Who cares. Lots of boom-bap-a-di-bing-bom-bow in that one (and the cover fits my couch). Have fun. Pace

Track list:
A1 Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
A2 Preach And Teach
A3 Channel I Suite
B1 Big Mama Cass
B2 Goodbye Yesterday
B3 Acid Truth
B4 Alfie
B5 Ode to Billy Joe
