Re: Whatcha been lis'nin to lately?

I am listening to John McNeil and Bill McHenry's "Rediscovery" CD and loving these 1950 gems. It is available for preorder on Amazon and other major sites and will be released on May 6th. It features lesser known gems that are memorable to me only because I have heard him playing them live at the Village Vanguard, Cornelia Street Cafe and the Biscuit in Brooklyn. If you are having a lousy day, just listen to John play "Happy Little Sunbeam" and that should cheer you up. John omits his great sense of humor from the CD, except when it comes out in the music. For his jokes, you will have to hear him live at his CD release on May 17th at the Cornelia Street Café.

Great CD!!!
