We are featuring several new CDs this month. There are a couple from Arbors Records; two from IAJRC; one from the Musician’s Private labels; three from Continental and the remainder of the label called Piano Joys. You can visit our web site puppyjazz.com and view the entire catalogue. Several CDs are only available from us.


First we add some new releases from Arbors Records:
	A tribute CD to Nat “King” Cole with Maurice Hines. A really great CD featuring some great musicians, Jami Dauber, Tanya Darby, Wycliffe Gordon, Lisa Parrot, Ralph Lalama, Karolina Strassmayer, Howard Alden, James Chirillo, Ben Brown, Bob Crenshaw, Sherrie Maricle and Frank Owens. Superb arramgements by Tommy Newsom. Arbors, ARCD19323.
	An exciting new release, NEVER BEFORE ISSUED, by The World’s Greatest Jazz Band. A double CD of a live concert from 1971 from Manchester’s Free Trade Hall, issued in its entirety. Yank Lawson, Billy Butterfield, Ed Hubble, Vic Dickenson, Bob Wilber, Bud Freeman, Ralph Sutton, Bob Haggart and Gus Johnson. If you are a WGJB fan this is a must have CD. If you are not, you should still have it. Arbors, ARCD19343.

From the Musicians Private Labels we have a variety of things:
	A salute to Stan Kenton byt Don Scaletta’s 18 piece big band, The Jazz Project, plus a vocalist. This is not a ghost band and it isn’t a re-issue, but a swinging hard driving big band as only Don Scaletta can produc. Very exciting CD. ARS NOVA RECORDS, ARC001.

From Continental records we have added three new releases. One is a double CD.
	This CD was recorded live at Eddie Pawl’s Supper Club in Sarasota called Sullivan’s. It features several groups, Jerry Jerome and Kenny Soderblom; Jack Brokensha Quartet; Bob Snyder; Ernie Wilkins: Uptown Jazz Quartet and Eddie Pawl Quartet. All are fine groups and this will give you an idea how a Jazz Supper Club should be. Continental CT003.
	This double CD is a long lost gem found in Eddie Pawl’s closet. It was recorded in September 1973 at Lido On The Lake in Michigan. A wonderful swinging quartet, which at times sounds like a big band. A great Double CD. Continental CT004-2.
	Eddie Pawl playing with two Quartets. One from Sarasota, FL and the other from Detroit, MI. Some great players and some great music played here. Continental CT 005.

Next we have the balance of the “Piano Joys” Catalogue, and what a catalogue it is. We want to point out that the sound on the Rent Party Echoes series is not in hi-fi, having been recorded at private parties, but what music they all produced.
	This is Volume 5 in the Rent Party Echoes series and it features Carl Sonny Leyland, Charlie Booty, George Green, Tom Harris, Jack Yates and Ben Conroy. Recorded between 1978 and 1999, there is some marvelous playing here by all. Piano Joys, PJ009.
	Volume 6 in the Rent Party Series, recorded between 1978 and 1999, in Texas. Another group of outstanding players, Carl Sonny Leyland, Charlie Booty, George Green, Ben Conroy, Jack Yates, Tom Harris, Phil Kiely, Mike Price and Dick Mushlitz. 23 Outstanding tracks of fine music. Piano Joys, PJ010.
	Carl Sonny Leyland playing “Gin Mill Jazz”, consisting of some Boogie Woogie, Blues, Ragtime and stomps. None better than Leyland, one of the prenier pianists in this genre. Piano Joys, PH 011.
	Charlie Castner and Tom Harris, “The Boogie Woogie Boys Revisited”. These are unissued recordings of those two legendary pianists from between 1949 and 1951. These two were quite the players. Piano Joys, PJ012.
	“Railroad Blues” is a solo piano recording by the great Charlie Booty. These are not all railroad tunes but have a bunch of other Blues and Stomps. Some fine playing here. Piano Joys, PJ013.
	Carl Sonny Leyland and Bill Mitchell cuts loose at the Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo, CA with 20 tracks of Rags, Stomps and Boogie Woogie as only they can do. Piano Joys, PJ014.
	Charlie Booty and Ben Conroy playing solo and duets in a tribute to the memory of Patrick “Louisville Dude” Madden. We can just imagine how Madden would react with a big grin if he could hear this recording. 19 Funfilled tracks. Piano Joys, PJ015.
	"Music to listen to Charlie Booty by" is culled from the archives of Charlie Booty from 1972 to 2003. Charlie cuts loose on 14 tracks of rompin’ stompin’ music here. Piano Joys, PJ016.
	“Pacific Express” with the legendary A.W. “Mac” McKnight at the throttle of this Boogie Woogie Express train. This is a trainload of straight ahead driving Boogie Woogie! Piano Joys, PJ017.
	The great Charlie Booty in a series of recordings from 1973 to 1994. Mostly solo recordings from Charlie’s private archives. Marvelous CD. Piano Joys, PJ018.
	Yet another in the Rent Party Echoes Series, Volume 7. Carl Sonny Leyland. Charlie Booty, Russ Gilman, Phil Kiely, Bill Mason and Dick Mushlitz. These are recordings from 1983 to 1999, from Evansville, Indiana. Piano Joys, PJ019.
	Volume 8 in the Rent Party Echoes Series. These are from Evansville, Indiana from 1983 to 1999. Featuring Carl Sonny Leyland, Charlie Booty, Phil Kiely and Dick Mushlitz. 17 tracks in all of some good foot stompin’ music. Piano Joys, PJ020.

	Here we have Richard Egan who hails from the St. Louis area playing “Lowland Forest”, a series of fine ragtime piano. 19 tracks in all recorded in Cabapple Studios in St. Louis during the Winter of 2004-2005. Piano Joys, PJ023.
