Trombonist Roswell Rudd has a new one out on Sunnyside that sounds intriguing: it was recorded in Mali with African musicians.

Reissues include a big batch of the budget-priced Jazz in Paris series from the French Gitanes label. Some of the musicans include Blossom Dearie, Dizzy Gillespie, Stephane Grappelli, Bobby Jaspar, Joe Newman and Sarah Vaughan. You can find the full listings below. There will be some more titles out on 2/18. There's also a series of French soundtracks that include playing by Stan Getz and Jimmy Smith. I've listed some other titles in this series in the non-jazz section below.
The intersting Danish Storyville label will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary next month. This month they have releases of titles from Dexter Gordon, Ella Fitgerald/Fletcher Henderson, Woody Herman, Glen Gray and Art Tatum. The Tatum title is the first in a series of mostly unissued recordings.
Other reissues include several titles originally on JMT from Cold Sweat, Bob Stewart, Geri Allen/Charlie Haden/Paul Motian that are now out on Winter & Winter.
