What? There's a Leo Mathisen CD I don't own?!


Leo Mathisen: 1938-40 Leo’s Idea from Little Beat Records is the one Mathisen CD from this (very awesome) label that I don't own. And I WANT it!


But I also want more Duke Heitger. I have a copy of Rhythm Is Our Business from emusic, and the more I play it, the more I like it. Some of these recreationist doods can really suck, but re-listening has convinced me that there's something good going on here. But one album just isn't enough.

I also want:




Prince of Wails. The title track is a fave, and I'm keen to hear how this small group recreates teh orsm of Moten's group... in fact, I'm back to loving Moten in a big way.






Krazy Kapers as it looks a little more swingy and hence a little more all-purpose.









What is This Thing Called Love because the track listing is freeking A1.




I've had nothing but fabulous experiences with Jazz By Mail - super-fast postage times (though I've had a couple of CD covers get a little crushed in their light-weight cardboard boxes - nothing major, though), reasonable prices. And I'm especially keen on their Stomp Off Records stuff - an indy label chock full of top notch hawt jazz artists.
