The sun is out this morning and Jimmy Smith is at the organ! “Jimmy Smith At The Organ” Vol. 1 was recorded in 1957, and this copy is a 1958 repress. Jimmy is joined by Kenny Burrell, Lou Donaldson, and Art Blakey on these tracks. This is a fun and lively album! #jazz #vinyl #bluenote #coffee

It’s a cold and rainy morning, but things are warming up as the sounds of Miles Davis fill the air and the first cup of coffee hits. These are the first tracks recorded by the same band that would record “Kind Of Blue” a year later! #jazz #milesdavis #johncoltrane #vinyl #coffee

I’ve got two great Donald Byrd albums on deck this morning! First up is “The Cat Walk”. This is an original 1963 mono pressing, and was the first Donald Byrd album in my collection. It’s the album that made me a Byrd fan! What’s your favorite Donald Byrd album? @bluenoterecords.bsky.social #jazz

One of my favorite finds of 2024! A few days before Christmas, I stumbled upon this original 1960 stereo pressing in a record store that I had never been to before.. and I couldn’t pass it up! “This Here Is Bobby Timmons” on Riverside. Cool album cover, incredible music! #jazz #vinyl #coffee

I was craving a “special” album this morning. You know the feeling, a big, iconic album that always feels timeless and important, and that brings joy and comfort. This is one of those albums (and there are many!). What albums come to mind for you? John Coltrane - “Blue Train” #johncoltrane #jazz

Who’s ready to go with Lee Morgan to “Search For The New Land”? I certainly am! Morgan assembled a stellar lineup when he recorded this album in 1964: Wayne Shorter, Grant Green, Herbie Hancock, Reginald Workman, and Billy Higgins! The results speak for themselves! #leemorgan #jazz #bluenote

Simple mornings are often the best ones. Currently staring out the window as the morning sun glistens off the snow… enjoying some hot coffee and English muffins… all to the sounds of Bill Evans. Nice, peaceful to start a winter Sunday! Bill Evans Trio - “Sunday At The Village Vanguard” #jazz
