It was pretty hot here today for southern Maine around 90. I went down to the beach around 730am and spent a couple hours before I really started feeling the heat and headed out. The water is still on the chilly side, but I went in anyway. It's only 60 degrees. I wasn't the only idiot in the water.

You got it. Although just checking the USPS a short time ago the shipment is now here in town. I should have ownership by later this afternoon.

I have a package that has been sitting in Jersey City for the last 6 days without moving. It was shipped from Liberty, New York. For the uninitiated Liberty is located in Sullivan County in the Catskills. Mind you I am obviously not blaming the vendor for this situation. But one time I ordered from him and before arriving up here in Maine it made its way to Memphis, Tennessee then Oxford, Mississippi before it ended up here. I guess this is an improvement. Sarcasm intended.

I'm listening to Lift Every Voice right now on Spotify. The vocals to me aren't too overwhelming considering there is still plenty of room left for Woody Shaw, Carlos Garnett and Andrew to solo. Maybe not everyone's bag, but I can listen to this. I suppose one could compare this to the Eddie Gale release Ghetto Music.

I thought I had most/all of Zoot's early releases, until I came across this one. Thanks Dusty Groove!

Actually, a nice session. I've been trying to get this release for quite some time at an affordable price. Picked this up from Dusty Groove. Now listening Japanese issue.

It's a nice one. Very happy to be hearing this for the very first time.

Thanks guys for the recommendation on Peace Treaty. A real nice session in excellent sound plus Woody Shaw!

Arrived yesterday from Dusty Groove.

Someone posted this on Facebook earlier. Thinking about picking this up. Any thoughts?

I remember a few months ago I was visiting Boothbay Harbor up the coast from me and walking up to a breakfast eatery. From the takeout window you could hear jazz playing clearly in the background. It was a Herbie Hancock Blue Note title. The guy claimed it was his wife who was responsible being a jazz fan.
