Last year's thread can be found here:
Thanks to Chunky for reminding me of this album which spent a lot of time on my LP12 back in my late teens.
It's sounding rather superb tonight.

Vinyl reissue originally released 1988 - A superb West Coast jazz album. ????
And one of the greatest covers and titles ever Dan...
Vinyl released 2014 - The Coolin’ System takes on tunes from Jimmy McGriff, Cedar Walton, Horace Silver, Lou Donaldson, and Keith Mandsfield’s “Soul Thing” among others. Their funky take on these classics will have you picking up the needle and dropping it back down again and again. The single, “Jungle Juice”, is straight from the fridge and cool as ice. Great album. ????
Now Playing...........
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Streaming on NAS.......... Continuing on with the 1968 Van Morrison release 'Astral Weeks' which is one fine album! Back to beginning.......
