Art Blakey And His Jazz Messengers - Chippin' In (Tidal Waves Music, 2021 VMP Exclusive Pressing)
Big thanks to @avecigrec for sending a message about the Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble release. For those of you interested, it features Salah Ragab on drums - his album 'Egypt Strut' was one of my RSD highlights. I haven't listened to it yet but looks great and is the first-ever authorized repress released under license from Hartmut Geerken, limited to just 300 copies as a second pressing. Secondly, we have the Art Blakey release from Tidal Waves/VMP. I think this will be credits well spent!
Signed Lionel Hampton UK Tour Programme from October-November 1956.
A cool oddity that I was able to get. I have quite a stack of old tour programmes now but I think this is the first one that I have found that is signed.
Jazz: A Guide To The History And Development Of Jazz And Jazz Musicians by Arrigo Polillo and edited by Neil Ardley - Signed by Howard McGhee
Another oddity. The book itself is a fantastic pocket book of jazz, packed with photos and under one of them (the McGhee one) its signed by the trumpeter himself.
Barbara Thompson Ticket - signed by drummer Jon Hiseman
A bit of paraphernalia (excuse the pun) that is signed by Barabara's husband, the drummer Jon Hiseman.
How to Listen to Jazz by Ted Gioia (Basic Books, 2016)
Out Of Nowhere: The Uniquely Evasive Jazz Of Mike Taylor by Luca Ferrari
A couple of late birthday presents arrived and they look fantastic. Its about time I learnt how to listen to jazz!!
