I cleaned the Al Hirt section today. A lot of work, but man, he played a truly sweet trumpet, what tone. The marathon cleaning and playing session brought back memories of my Mom's record collection and her gorgeous Telefunken console, stayed up way later than planned...

In a memorial for Les McCann I've been revisiting my Les McCann library (and doing a little streaming oh, the horror). "Compared To What" was getting played on KFML in Denver when I was a lad. I bought my first two jazz LP's; McCann's Swiss Movement and Gil Scott-Heron's Small Talk at 125th and Lenox because of "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" during the same record store trip, probably '71 (got my license beginning of '71). I grew up in a big band/swing home, and Les and Gil pointed me down a slightly different path, but still love my big bands. Les had quite a run on the Pacific Jazz label, and then Atlantic. He started with Les McCann Plays The Truth on PJ in 1960, I think. I know he played on Herbie Mann's Deep Pocket release on Kokopelli in '92.
RIP Les McCann
