Miles Davis "Porgy and Bess" Columbia LP

Listening to my Dad's copy of this.  
I lost him on Monday evening and wanted to hear this, which we listened to together many times.

He gave this to me when he went all cd, and I have better sounding digital copies but this still sounds pretty darned good.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad, Lon. I feel that pain still today. It gets better as time passes, it evolves, but the loss itself never leaves.

Thanks Jim. I'm actually doing well. I got to spend the last nine years with my Dad and develop a friendship I never dreamed I would have. And he has been bed-ridden in Hospice for 13 months, it is not right for anyone to be bed-ridden that long. He was a fantastic man I am going to celebrate rather than be sad over. That's the plan.

Leo Wright "Soul Talk" Atlantic/Water Records cd

Leo was such a cool player. And. . . Kenny Burrell!

Saw Leo with a local rhythm section here at Club 43 in Manchester in the later 1960s. It was after he'd made his name as a member of the Gillespie quintet.

I never saw him, but one of my first three jazz LPs (all received at once) was his fantastic "Blues Shout" on Atlantic which influenced my jazz. discovery..

I had time to slip one in before family events.

Disc one of this set. 

Alain Jean-Marie "Beguine Reflections"

I've enjoyed Marie's work with Berney Wilen for a few decades but this is the first time I have heard his leader work. Very interesting!
