New acquisition, 1965. Never owned a nice copy but a current writing project required a close listen. Found a pristine copy on Discogs for a good price. By far the most rewarding late-Trane, aside from the sublime Interstellar Space, which as a duet LP inhabits a separate space.

An Interracial Tune A Day (#7) An Early Very Mixed #Jazz Group. February 8, 1929. Condon & Co. w. Charlie Johnson cats. In Teagarden's solo, a.round 2'10" he plays a line that we will hear years later in "Stormy Weather." I wonder if Harold Arlen knew this track. tinyurl.com/4z2a9amn

Happy birthday to Langston Hughes, b. 2/1/1901. Below is a link to one of his greatest poems,"Let America Be America Again." The photo shows the Hughes books on my shelf. Two right columns are all 1st editions I cherish. I'll have to rob a bank to get "The Weary Blues." poets.org/poem/let-ame...
