Moving on to something with full production that I wanted to hear on the system, Marvin Gaye’s “I Want You” on Tamla cd. This album owes a ton to Leon Ware, and is a tribute to his passion for Janis Hunter, who was Slim Gaillard’s daughter. I’m enjoying revisiting this one, it’s been a while. -
Walking up to the warmth of a 65 degree morning. My wife fell asleep in front of the new TV we got yesterday--I retired my Sony bought fifteen years ago. Starting off the day with a compilation I made of appearances by Ed Motta in the Lumiar Records series of collecting new interpretations of songs by Brazilian composers. Also featured within this compilation are appearances by Hermeto Pascoal and Jacques Morelenbaum.

Being a vinyl man in this respect, I am rounding up one by one the 6 "Charlie Parker on Dial" LPs on Spotlite. So I'd second the recommendations for the 4-CD set which more or less duplicate the original LPs. Particularly at that price for U.S. buyers. However, personally adn after all these years I am still not sure if I'd want to listen to that many alternates for most of the tracks each time, so I still hang on to my "master takes" versions as well. And would do so for the Savoys as well. There are moments when the music still strikes you most intensely when you listen to the tunes in their original release context. -

This one is among my recent arrivals here, but in the stack of the "to listen to" to-do list. Time to listen to it now, I guess. Same for the "Ben Webster Meets Don Byas" of which I obtained a SABA original. After having read what's been written about this session in the Don Byas biography I think you cannot help listening to this record with somewhat "different" (or should I say "nuanced" ) ears.
