Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.

Duke Ellington - The Blanton-Webster Band: X (X)
Penguin crown album, not qualified to grade. I will say that I like it more than the Basie and Gillespie crown albums also posted about today. I'm 99% sure I owned this once. I was tempted to try the latter issuance Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band [Bluebird, 2003], but I understand it is just this, plus nine alternate takes. Discogs even has this under the same entry. #jazz
