Thinking about Lucky Thomson. His last studio recording, I Offer You (1973), is well worth a listen. I like his sound with Cedar Walton on electric piano. Something a bit different to his earlier recordings. Lucky still sounds so good. One of the greats gone too soon.

Rewatching the Ken Burns Jazz series as it happened to be on telly, nice that Fletcher Henderson gets a good bit of space. Henderson's is my favourite early big band.

I was thinking about great last recordings by folk recently. Fletcher Henderson Sextet (1950) is a really nice live set. Sad to think he was gone not long after. Plus it's got Lucky Thomson on it! Anything with Lucky on is guaranteed to be good.
