  1. “Ellington Jazz Party in Stereo” Columbia CSP stereo LP Well, I picked up a well-priced stereo copy of this album, which I just have in an original pressing in Mono; the stereo LP I have is one of those digitally remastered “CBS Jazz Masterpieces” versions. This one is a 'seventies “Collector’s Series Pressing” releases so not a 'fifties original BUT it sounds really good and is very clean. Sounds better than the Jazz Masterpieces pressing. I LOVE THIS MUSIC!
  2. 480×477 73.2 KB “Blows Against the Empire” RCA/Legacy cd I wish Mobile Fidelity would do an SACD of this. . . none of the cd versions I have heard really match the sound and feel of the OG LP I have, which is pretty noisey I’m afraid. Still remember my fascination with this music in the 'Seventies.
  3. Miles Davis “Someday my Prince will Come” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 mono disc 500×500 37.4 KB
  4. Another disc from the “Enjoying the Ride” Grateful Dead box set. Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA (6/5/69) disc 1
  5. A great player with an identifiable style. I really like his albums for Roulette and Verve as a leader. I reach for the 2 cd set from Verve in the "Elite Edition" series a lot: https://www.discogs.com/release/8703620-Harry-Edison-The-Swinger-and-Mr-Swing
  6. Ted Nash and Odeon “La Espada de la Noche” Palmetto cd A very interesting album with unique instrumentation. Nash has mastered many instruments. Accordion – William Schimmel Baritone Horn, Trombone, Tuba – Clark Gayton Drums – Matt Wilson Tenor Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto Flute – Ted Nash Violin – Nathalie Bonin
  7. Arturo O’Farrill “Live in Brooklyn” Zoho cd This is one of my favorites of Arturo’s. Great live recording. Bass – Andy Gonzalez Drums – Dafnis Prieto Piano, Producer – Arturo O’Farrill Producer – Todd Barkan Recorded live at the Up Over Jazz Café, Brooklyn, NY, on August 8 & 9, 2003.
  8. John Coltrane “Crescent” Impulse Japan SHM-SACD This one again to start off a cool, quiet morning. What a great sounding edition of this essential work.
  9. Yes, I skip those Draper sessions entirely.
  10. John Coltrane “Crescent” Impulse Japan SHM-SACDSHM-SACD Finally arrived from cdjapan. Worth the wait.
  11. Bossarenova Trio - Paula Morelenbaum, Joo Kraus, Ralf Schmid “Atlantico” Skip Records cd I think my system will lose a few pounds playing this one back in full. . . . Brilliant IMO.
  12. Milt Jackson “It Don’t Mean A Thing if you Can’t Tap Your Foot to It” Pablo/OJC cd Followed by “Jazz of the World War 2nd–It Don’t Mean A Thing” Duke Ellington, For Discriminate Collectors LP
  13. Miles Davis “In Concert” Sony 20 bit SBM LP facsimile 2 cd set, disc 2 I think this release of “In Concert” sounds wonderful. I am always impressed by Michael Henderson, his bass playing just always floors me. Gave Miles just what he wanted and was the hearbeat of the band.
  14. Perhaps 'polite' is underrated.
  15. I guess I think more highly of George with Miles than many here. "Seven Steps to Heaven,""My Funny Valentine," "Four + More," and "Miles Davis in Europe" (and previously unreleased material from these) are among my favorite Miles, in part perhaps because they were among my first Non-'lectric Miles, and among my longest listened to.
  16. What a band! Alto Saxophone – Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson Bass – Ray Brown Drums – Lawrence Marable Piano – Art Hillery Producer – Norman Granz Tenor Saxophone – Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis Trumpet – Harry “Sweets” Edison* Vibraphone – Milt Jackson Milt Jackson “Night Mist” Pablo/OJC cd 599×606 118 KB
  17. Had a fun dinner outing with in-laws from NYC and Austin last night. Was up later than usual! It’s hot this morning. Sigh. But I’m toughing it out to listen to some music. Now playing Henry “Red” Allen and his Orchestra “1929-1933” Chronogical Classics cd Mostly Victor recordings. 297×300 13.1 KB
  18. Weber Iago “Os Filhos Do Vento:Children of the Wind” Adventure Music cd I find Iago to be an intriguing pianist, I’ll pick up any of his leader or sideman dates. This has the usual excellent Adventure Music sound.
  19. Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” Mobile Fidelity One Step, LP 1 454×454 48.5 KB I really hesitated but I’m glad I went for this, the sound is really good. Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” Mobile Fidelity One Step, LP 1 I really hesitated but I’m glad I went for this, the sound is really good.
  20. Hope everyone had as good and safe a holiday as possible. I had a great one with in-laws from NYC and Austin. It was so good to be able to comfortably discuss things with like minds so openly. Now playing “The Angel’s Share Working Man’s Dead 1970” SECOND half on cdr Sound quality is surprisingly good. Some amazing vocal tracks. I’m especially enjoying the takes of “Easy Wind.”

  22. Resident Alien, Season 4 My wife started watching this with me and finds it hilarious. I like it a lot as well. I may be going back through the first 3 seasons with her.
