No I'm saying it doesn't seem possible for human beings to make such good music

Church

From your home state too.

Yessssssss. Dixieland is so choice. Bix is great (even if he stole everything good he ever did from black people)

... and to cap off International Jazz Day ...

The Hawk Swings-Coleman Hawkins

Philly Joe Jones on drums, too. I wish my Philly Joe Jones theme on Freak Fighter didn’t get so lost. If I ever finish the Southern States thing I’d like to do a record by record chronological look at his entire career.

Ballads
Album by John Coltrane

I love this record. It’s so mind-boggling the way this music can be so laidback and accessible but you still hear it echoing in Coltrane’s most avant-garde recordings. His music is a single living spiritual organism. I’m compelled to completely surrender to it and live by its ethos only.

Thelonious Monk at the Blackhawk
Album by Thelonious Monk

The CD version has a bunch of bonus tracks that make the album less coherent. I hate bonus tracks. They should at least be put on separate disc. This is meant for vinyl anyway.

Blue Spirits -Freddy Hubbard

Wiki says the rolling stone jazz guide gave this one star. That’s almost inconceivable. If anyone can dig up that review I’d like to read it (if it even exists)

Natural Illusions
Album by Bobby Hutcherson


If you like Milt Jackson or Sketches era Miles and you haven’t heard this do yourself the favor.
