Finally, I have found a proper CD copy of…

Vee Jay Doo Wop Volume 2: Bim Bam Boom!

It’s taken a long time, but the set is now complete 👍😎

It really is a phenomenal set and well worth tracking down but beware of CDR copies, the sound is poor!

"If you're a sculptor, you can get up the next day and chip a bit off here and there, but with jazz, once you've played it, it's history. You can't say 'Oh hang on, can I do that bit again?' That's the magic of it."

Happy Birthday Alan Skidmore

"I admire guys like Miles Davis. He makes every note count and really tries to live it all the way. I admire people who really try to develop a built-in attitude that they ought to look for something fresh all the time."

Happy Birthday Ian Carr

"The thing that's really important is to be true to yourself; to tell the truth to yourself and everyone else. Because that's what improvisation is about. It's about seeing what the truth is, about your feelings and about your experience."

"Well, improvising means a lot to me - I'm an improviser. I'll play 'Stardust' tonight one way, and tomorrow night I'm gonna play it a different way. Or if I play it an hour from then, it'll be different."

Happy Birthday Lionel Hampton
born April 20, 1908
