A stack of great Jazz comes my way, with an extra bonus   Fortune, it's a funny thing. Yesterday July 22nd 2019, I made a moment to fly in on King Bee Records 519 Wilbraham Rd, Chorlton. Nothing special about this, I have been passing by this record store for the past 30 years.  This time was no different, except I managed to pick up a stack of Jazz LPs,  the likes of The Oscar Peterson Trio, Ella & Louis, Coleman Hawkins, Duke Ellington, Errol Garner, Joe Newman and his band, Billie Holiday, Fats Waller, Jimme Lunceford, Pee Wee Erwin, Art Tatum, yes, I know, that's a lot of names, I walked out of the record store with more than 20 vinyl LPs.   At the time of purchase I was not paying too much attention to the hand written names written on the back of many of the vinyl LP ́s I snaffled. At home I realised I have picked up a wedge of vinyl from one gentleman by the name of Derek Tiptons. So, a rather nice slice of Dereks collection is now mine!
