35 degrees. . . going to be a bit cooler for s spell I think. Part of me wishes for more snow, its’ back to bare trees everywhere the eye can spy, which is not my favorite sylvan look. . . . Starting off to break the still morning quiet with a fascinating trio disc, “Healnig–the music of Carla Bley” by Steve Carendas, Ben Allison and Ted Nash–Sonic Camera cd. Seems perfect music for this morning.  

Buddy DeFranco with Billie Holiday, Red Norvo and Red Mitchell at the Kölner Messe in Cologne, Germany, January 22, 1954.

Oh. I missed that!

I once had an original Contemporary pressing of this LP, it sounded great.
