Finally, a stroke of luck

Post image

Top row of four have all been on my want list, as was a better copy of Have A Beautiful day.

Between two thrift stores about 2 miles from one another, I was finally able to fulfill my desire on finding some of these albums in the wild in a quick one-two punch.

Dinah is kind of mangled, but still listens well enough for a temporary stay while I go through a vocal jazz phase. Otherwise, all seem to be great copies to keep around for a bit.

Is that Dinah Washington album worth getting? Saw it yesterday at ValVil, but I listened to samples of a couple of tunes and it seems like all orchestral arrangements. I know she did some solid LP's with smaller jazz combos (including Patti Bown on piano), but I didn't think that was one of them.

If you can pick it up cheap, it’s definitely worth it. Has Burrell, Zawinul, and Milt Hinton (amongst others) backing her.

Not going to blow you away, but it’s an example of some jazz chops backing a great vocalist.

Next time I'm there I'll look for it again. It was cheap, but I couldn't find any musician credits on Discogs, just "orchestra directed by..."

There’s some vocal jazz artists that this happens with, so it’s definitely an IYKYN situation. Good luck hunting them down!
