Johnny Windhurst!   Right now     After enjoying the Blu-Spec CD2 of this release a few times recently I realized this was one of the few Miles releases i didn’t have in the LP facsimile versions that Sony put out so I ordered, and received, this SBM version, Sony SRCS 9323~4. I like the sound of this series of discs, and in listening they bring me a warm nostalgic feeling of when I was first really into collecting Japanese releases.  

Hello, all- I'm not sure how many of you live near Philadelphia, PA, but these shows are going to be an event. On July 18-19, I'll be in residency at Solar Myth in Philadelphia (courtesy of Ars Nova Workshop). I'll be joined by the insane company of masters Bobby Bradford and Andrew Cyrille, as well as LA tubaist William Roper, bassist Luke Stewart, and Grex mate Rei Scampavia. This project had its genesis in the California wildfires earlier this year. As you may be aware, Bobby and Roper lost their Altadena homes. In the process of our relief effort, the idea arose to reunite Bobby and Andrew - two veterans of John Carter's Roots & Folklore saga. These dates mark the only occasion that the two of them will have played together in several decades, as well as Bobby's first appearance on the East Coast in some time. (Bobby actually turns 91 that weekend!) Appropriately, I'll be presenting a brand suite piece of music - "Taglish II," which explores the Filipino-American experience in 2025. It revisits some of the themes and character of John Carter's music, although the sonics of the piece are squarely contemporary. Tickets are available HERE More Info: https://www.arsnovaworkshop.org/programs/karl-evangelista-bobby-bradford-andrew-cyrille-rei-scampvia-luke-stewart/

Riccardo Muti - The Complete Warner Symphonic Recordings, disc 76.

1 is Mal Waldron, and it's from the LP Mal/4. A favorite rendition of this tune! will get to the rest momentarily but now I'm listening to my Mal/4 album.
