The P and I ventured out to our local flea market on Sunday, and came away with a few musical treasures…
Frank Sinatra | In The Wee Small Hours, Part 2 – Impossible to resist Ol’ Blue Eyes…
Xavier Cugat | Dancetime With Cugat – Get your dancing shoes on…
Stan Kenton | City Of Glass – My friend David Foran is constantly after me to get some Stan Kenton in my life, so David, this one’s for you…
T.S. Eliot | Old Possum’s Book Of Practical Cats – The audio LP version of the book that spawned the Broadway musical Cats…
Lonnie Mack | Glad I’m In The Band – Mack was a mentor to Stevie Ray Vaughan, among others…
Leo Kottke | The Best – This one caught my eye after our own recommendations for seasonal non-holiday albums…
Lester Young | Prez: Evening Of A Basie-ite – Features recordings of Young with Count Basie’s Orchestra in 1940 and 1941…
Lenny Bruce | Thank You Masked Man – This album “includes the earliest Bruce performances known to exist,” which actually gives it the odor of a cash-in…
Mac Wiseman | ‘Tis Sweet To Be Remembered – Taking a moment to remember Mac Wiseman, who was still making excellent music last time I checked…
Phil Ochs | All The News That’s Fit To Sing – The title piqued my inner-NYT reader, but this one made the sale based on the pristine Elektra label on the album (see below)…
Cream | I Feel Free – Foreign version of Cream’s greatest hits that bears a suspicious resemblance to the playlist on Strange Brew…
Charlie Barnet | The Complete Charlie Barnet, Volume II – 1939 – This long-forgotten saxophonist still blows our house down…
The Rascals | Once Upon A Dream – With thanks to The Rising Storm, who brought this album to my attention…
Roy Eldridge | Heckler’s Hop, 1935-40 – Great title, even better Jazz…
Henry ‘Red’ Allen | Henry ‘Red’ Allen – Eponymous collection of Allen’s recordings from the late-20′s and early 30′s…
Ned Kelly | Original Motion Picture Score – Featuring music by Shel Silverstein and Waylon Jennings (what a pairing!), I bought this for the lone Mick Jagger track (‘The Wild Colonial Boy’), which is a painful approximation of something you’d hear at your local Ren Faire…
Cal Tjader | Soul Sauce – Easily the best album we picked up this weekend, Tjader smokes his way across the vibes, making music that lives up to that ridiculous and audacious title…

Quicksilver Messenger Service & The Great Society | Avalon Ballroom Poster – Many thanks to my poster guy Larry, who never fails to tempt me with his wares…
