991: Nonet & Octet
I have a particular affinity for bass players as band leaders. Just feels natural in the jazz world and I guess I just love how they decide to arrange things when they're such a lowkey (but clearly backbone) instrument. Oscar Pettiford swings and this is an excellent album for the jazz lovers. I've only recently started listening to more of Oscar Pettiford thanks to a colleague who likes to play a lot of his music on his show.
unrelated to this post, but related to this project - I've come to terms with the fact that this whole thing is most definitely going to take me AT LEAST a decade to complete. But here we are - 10 down, 991 to go!
noteworthy tracks: Another One, Minor 7th Heaven, Stardust, Bohemia After Dark, Titoro, Kamman's A' Comin'
