All jazz 7" extravaganza for this first installment of the ambitious one mixtape/selection per week of 2015 project. What to say about the selection? Well, it's 50's and early 60's stuff by the masters. Art Tatum's lively piano version of "Yesterdays" meets Miles Davis' bluest of trumpet versions. Gigi Gryce plays with Mal Waldron in "Stablemates" before Dizzy plays one of his own compositions.
Remember to read Christopher Nielsen's comic "Jazzbasillen" to accompany the music.
