A great video. I always find something new in your recommendations, although I knew most of the albums. I picked up the Jack Sheldon LP after I heard his playing on the Curtis Counce records. That's how it works. One hears a new voice on an instrument and searches for more of that musician's recordings. He accompanied Anita O'Day on one of her last studio efforts, Rules of the Road (1993/Pablo). That's an LP worth getting. The Golson album was reissued with all of the Golson, Art Farmer, and Jazztet recordings on the Mosaic box set. I thought it was brilliant when I first heard it. Golson wasn't the first to put out a record with each track adding another instrumentalist. The Boogie-Woogie pianist Pete Johnson cut a similar album for Savoy in 1946. It's called House Rent Party and includes Hot Lips Page and Ben Webster, among others. It's loads of fun and I recommend it. All the best for the New Year and keep those videos coming!
I enjoy your videos , your factual delivery and insight into the featured topics is refreshing in a world of know it all's and snobbery. The under the radar series helps some of us newer jazz converts .
Wonderfully presented and greatly informative as always. Thank you Allan for your commitment to making these fantastic videos and as always, looking forward to the next one. Happy New Year!
Great influences. I hope someone from the industry is watching because both the Buddy Collette & Jack Sheldon need a digital release. The Hideo Shiraki is a blast with fabulous drum sound. Apparently Plays Bossa Nova is as good. I'd never heard of Alegri but Fania were popular in the UK in the late 70s early 80s, so it's right up my alley. Gigi is great, I have the CD. Cheers!
That Victor Feldman was later released under the title with a hilarious cover of a mam (Victor) playing a skeleton, like a vibraphone and called, Mallets A Fore Thought. Another note one of Jazz:West label's few releases is called Chambers Music; A delegation from the East. Aside from Paul Chambers it includes an early Coltrane, Kenny Drew and Philedelphia JoeJones on drums. The second release of it on Imperial is excellent and reasonable affordable.
Great tips, Allan. Thank you! The Previn album isn't one I have heard, though I have some of his others, inc. Pal Joey which is a respectable effort. That Golson release was definitely under my radar -- fascinating!! Happy New Year, btw
Happy New Year, Allan! What better way to start 2025 than with a 10 minute record review. I have the Warne Marsh Quartet record on Mode entitled 'Music for Prancing'. Cool artwork. Do you know that one?
I'm favourably disposed... the West Coast thing is only my most recent obsession and it's seeped into my video choices. I've reviewed a fair number of individual records in the free/AG vein, but have never done a thematic video. Have to think about what my take would be before doing so.
A nice start to 2025. Relaxed, informative , all good but I’m gonna pass on the shaven head look. It won’t detract from me watching all your postings though. It’s a treat to know you can guarantee each and every video will be an enjoyable watch. Lovely stuff. Stay well.

Thanks for the recommendations, always appreciated. I need to track down that Rent Party record now! Happy New Year to you too.
This is a wonderful way to start the new year! Tea, toast, and ten minutes. Thank you Allan!

I'm pleased, because that's the idea. Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for watching!
Amazing that within a decade Previn became one of the worlds top classical conductors, I have quite a few, he especially liked Tchaikovsky.
More than one arrow in his quiver.
Congrats on #400!
@@goldthredz thanks!
As usual, fantastic reviews... Great advices. Happy new year from Argentina...
Thank you very much, and Happy New Year to you as well!

Thanks very much. If you dig the Alegre "descarga" records I would highly recommend the "Cuban Jam Session" series put out IIRC by Panart.

Good to know... need to track that down.
Great choices, I have the Previn record too, not only the playing, specially the sound of these Contemporary is amazing.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching. And happy New Year to you, too.
Happy New Year

I know it! But can't get my hands on it.
You are a terrific West Coast Jazz fan. I enjoy your videos. Would love your views on avant guarde and free jazz.

Fair enough! I’m glad it’s not a serious deterrent, as the only alternative haircut available to me is the “Art Garfunkel.”
