Disc 1.

I'm guilty of owning multiple copies of a number of works I really like. And multiple cycles of Beethoven's string quartets and sonatas etc. I am not ashamed.

My wife has been off since Thursday and is off til Thursday so not much stereo time for me at all. Snuck this one in. New expensive release from Japan of an often enough bootlegged Miles Davis concert, Tokyo July 12, 1964. I must say it sounds better than ever before. And the system sounds really good. I added a pair of Duelund resistors to the tweeters in my HR-1 speakers to good effect.

My first thought was Jimmy Rowles. Second thought was the Duke.

Got to squeeze in two listens before I was told to come down and watch the Browns. Fats Navarro "Vol. 1 1943-1946" Masters of Jazz, France cd Andy Kirk and his Clouds of Joy tracks and Kenny Clarke and his 52nd Street Boys tracks. and Stan Getz "Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival 1966" Lost Sessions cd

It's there today.

You are not in touch with reality.

Prince "20Ten" cd

Erroll Garner "Symphony Hall Concert" Mack Avenue cd, out tomorrow (I pre-ordered from the label and received it yesterday). Very good sound! I'm really enjoying Garner of late. This is included in the new box set of Garner material released by Mack Avenue, but luckily also released separately as those who bought all the Octave/Mack Avenue releases don't necessarily need to rebuy them in the box set.

From that clip I think this is going to be good.

As good as a shot of expresso. Mac Gollehon "In the Spirit of Fats Navarro"

I can't stay away from this set. Lee Morgan "Complete Live at the Lighthouse" disc 6

Mose Allison "Ramblin' with Mose." Just one vocal, a piano feature for Mose who is up to the task. Followed by "Svensk Jazzhistoria Vol. 9 - Swedish Jazz 1960 - 1964 - Brand New" disc 2 of 4

Freddie Hubbard "MMTC--Monk, Miles, Trane and Cannon" Music Masters cd Had to blow some dust off the top of this jewel case--it's probably been ten years or more since I spun this. Enjoying the listening!

Yesterday I finished up the day listening to disc 4 of this fine set. It occurs to me more and more as I listen to this set that the engineering is almost an uncredited member of the band. . . quite a sonic picture is painted that shapes the presentation in a unique way. Bill Evans "Turn Out the Stars" Warner Bros. Box set, disc 4 This morning starting off with Bob Dylan "Infidels" Sony Blu-Spec CD2. Interesting discussion on another board and the fact that a Bootleg Series volume encompassing this album is due out made me specifically want to hear the wonderful "Jokerman". . . and other tracks.
