Cal Tjader and Charlie Byrd “Tambu” Concord cd

Often I am tempted to buy these Japanese reissues for sonic upgrade reasons. For example I bought all the Basie Roulette reissues from Warner Japan and felt they were upgrades from the Mosaic versions. But listening to the Jamal Mosaic. . . the sound is such an improvement from Atlantic LPs or cds I had of the material and so satisfying to listen to that I'm not going to purchase any of these new Japanese reissues. Cover reproduction means little to me, that's not a motivating factor. I love the Mosaic pictorial presentations.

Tom Harrell “Time’s Mirror” RCA cd This is a 1999 Grammy nominated big band session that really delivers.

Hamilton De Holanda Brasilianos 2

Well, it's real sugar, cane sugar, not corn syrup. And it's spicy. This was my father's favorite soft drink. Lucinda and I have a root beer float with vanilla ice cream at least once a week, in honor of my family's tradition--that was our celebratory and New Year's drink--we're not "drinkers." I like their Cream Soda and Black Cherry Soda as well. They used to offer Birch Beer, which is excellent, but they no longer manufacture it.

YaY!

This one again. Sound so good.

Los Angeles Jazz Orchestra Unlimited with Kenny Burrell “Unlimited 1 (Live at Catalina’s)” High Note cd

No argument from me.

Ray Bryant Trio “All Blues” Pablo/OJC CD With Sam Jones and Grady Tate. Swinging. Bryant has a big bag of tricks. . . he makes each his own.

James Moody “Homage” Savoy Jazz cd You could fool some into believing parts of this is a Weather Report album!

Modern Jazz Quartet “For Ellington” East West cd

I really enjoyed the first season--if you like the show so far I think you'll enjoy the rest of that season. I haven't gotten to Season 2 yet. . . still hoping for a time when Lucinda will decide to watch it with me.

I ordered that yesterday, looking forward to it.

Re-visiting this one as I got called away in the midst of it for household consultation. I reluctantly agreed to the kitchen renovation that Lucinda has wanted to do for several years now. Okay maybe six years or so. It means I have to answer a zillion questions about this and that choice. . . even though I told her I would just rubber stamp what she wanted as far as color or style or material. Sigh. Months of this ahead. Atlantis Jazz Ensemble “Celestial Suite” 599×602 71.6 KB
