Putting the baby down with this one. It's been a few years since I last listened to it, so it's almost like hearing it for the first time.

No, I found it for $3 at a store in my hometown. Why?

This month: Mars Williams/Tollef Østvang - Painted Pillars Jack DeJohnette - Irresistible Forces Joe Lovano - From the Soul Jonah Jones - Jumpin' with Jonah Drew Gress - 7 Black Butterflies Michael Brecker - Pilgrimage (replacing a battered copy that is MIA) Ralph Alessi - Imaginary Friends

Stay classy. RIP, Mr. Ocasek.

Yes, it is. It's included on Spencer's Legends of Acid Jazz twofer. Now playing: I saw this trio approximately 39 years after this was recorded. I don't know how often they have worked together over the years, but that is some longevity.

'Solitude' as a Latin tune instead of receiving the usual ballad treatment is a treat. I need to pick up the other album by this group.

w/ Hugh Lawson, Sirone and Victor Lewis.

Disc 1: I need to revisit the RCA box soon.

There are two copies of Sonny's Prestige box for under $30 on Amazon, although one is without the box and giant booklet. I found mine in a store for $29.99 on Sonny's birthday last year, coincidentally.

I'll be spinning some Sonny today. I hope he is enjoying his birthday.

Hey, a Noj appearance! I'm glad things are going well! I wonder about some other people from AAJ and JC who have stopped posting here or never made the migration. I hope Fran is doing okay. He was one of the oldest members.
