I've loved Vibraphone Jazz for ages - since hearing an unknown tune on the radio whilst in the bath when I was about twelve - but have only had a few tracks on one album in the record collection. These two are both a complete joy...

...and the other two.
More wonderful music, and the Music Inn album has a touch of Clarinet C/O Jimmy Guiffre as an added bonus

Currently listening to a cassette that I have of various artists called Blues Jubilee - 'Live' 1950/1955 and featuring Dinah Washington, Jimmy Witherspoon, Helen Humes and Joe Turner. Can't find a listing for it anywhere yet and can't remember where and when I taped it - it may well have been one of Shirley's LPs that I transferred to cassette while she was in the States in 1986 when we first started living together.
Two years ago today since she had her first glimpse of home as she stepped into the ambulance! :frown:

Very much 'in the background', as it is on the tape deck in the loungeroom, I am listening to a tape that comes from a trip Shirley and I made to Melbourne in July 1990.
We would always listen to an FM station called 3PBS in those days and among all the alternative music played there would be some of the best Blues, Jazz and 'Live-To-Air' programs one could wish for.
This particular tape starts off with three tracks from the old 'Blues On Saturday' show;
- I Came From Clarkesdale: Otis Spann
- Shetland Pony Blues: Son House
- Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor: Willie Brown
- Flat Foot Floogie
- Chris's Boogie Woogie
- Tipitina
- Chain of Fools
- Like A Wheel
- Elevate Your Mind
- I Couldn't Sleep
- Send Help

Currently listening to this 1997 offering from Jacky Terrasson & Cassandra Wilson.
Cassie has been one of my favourite singers for a very long time now and moves freely through all forms of Jazz (from Traditional to Free) with ease as well as being a great Blues vocalist.
This is the first time I have heard Terrasson and I must say that I am truly impressed.

Listening to a Thai manufactured 2CD Set called Rhythm & Blues on the Payless label from 2007.

You can always tell when these things have been made in Thailand because even when the quality is good they manage to screw up the information. :ohwell:
