Kendo's MP3 Deal of the Week:
Hampton Hawes "All Night Sessions 1"

5 cuts for under 5 bucks and free to stream if you're already a prime member. Hampton in his hard bop prime with Jim Hall's guitar evening the keel. Solid.

Kendo's MP3 Deal of the Week II:
Junior Cook - "Something's Cooking"
None of the cds aired this week had an extraordinary deal, so here's an even better mp3 deal - this contains two albums and 12 tracks and about 70 minutes of high quality jazz at a nice price. "Good Cookin'" has Slide Hampton arrangements (and on trombone) and the great Bill Hardman on trumpet! "Somethin's Cookin'" features Cedar Walton on piano, a great version of Cedar's "Fiesta Espanol", Buster Williams on bass and a very enthused Junior on sax - my favorite cut is the lengthy track I played tonight "Illusion of Grandeur".

Kendo's Vinyl Deal Recommend:

Bobby Hutcherson - "Happenings"
This album was forward thinking and still sounds fresh today. Originals like "Rojo", "Aquarian Moon", "Bouquet" and "When You Are Near" are stunning, and the dreamy version of "Maiden Voyage" is splendid - the album features Herbie on piano. The vinyl release is a Prime item and is actually $1 cheaper than the cd currently lists. It also comes with a digital download. 

Kendo's CD Deal Recommend: 



Paul Desmond - "Pure Desmond"
Pure relaxing jazz with Ed Bickert on guitar and Connie Kay on drums! Desmond sounds great and very engaged.
