Please join your host Steve Westman with special guests: Blue Note Record Producer Joe Harley, @jazzandcoffee’s Syd Schwartz and 1/3 of the Jazz Bums’ Mike Parenti. The gang will discuss and review the latest vinyl news and releases and pick albums they can’t live without and why!
Joe Harley’s picks of Album he can’t live without:
Sonny Rollins - The Bridge (RCA)
The Individualism of Gil Evans (Verve)
Miles in the Sky (Columbia)
Miles Davis - The Complete Plugged Nickle (Mosaic)
Syd Schwartz:
Woody Shaw ‘Rosewood'
Yes ‘Close to the Edge'
The Yes recording from 10/28/78, which is on vinyl as ‘In the Round’ and ‘Twelve Towers at Dawn’ but is likely the most-bootlegged Yes concert in history, so there are many, MANY versions in circulation.

Frank Sinatra Torch Album: Wee Small Hours (Capitol)
Frank Sinatra Swingin’ Album: A Swinging’ Affair (Capitol)
Miles Davis All-Stars Walkin’ (Prestige)
The Four Miles Davis Quintet Prestige Records: Workin, Relaxin, Steamin, Cookin’ (Prestige)
John Coltrane Ascension, Edition II (Impulse!)
