Tales for Males

“Reddy Teddy’s Rowdy Roundup” TFM-100. Crazy titles here like “When the Iron in Your Blood Turns to Lead in Your Pencil”! Cool illustration with that leopard skin bikini bottom and tail! Unlikely you’ll ever see this record again and I’m guessing there never was a TFM-101.

Bluesette

img_0974.JPG

“BLUESette” Savoy Records. 1959. Curtis Fuller’s Quintet with Benny Golson, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Garrison and Al Harewood. DAMN. Just writing these names conjures up the feeling of soul jazz, hard bop and a time of amazing musical excitement. The songs here are It’s Alright With Me; Wheatleith Hall; I’ll Walk Alone; Arabia; and Judy’s Dilemma.
