Same thing happened to me with Dusty Groove. I think I'm done buying CDs that cross international borders. Sad. 😟

FedEx emailed me a little over two weeks after delivery to have me pay.

I almost got to see him. My brother had tickets and his wife the day of could not go so he asked me to go. . . and I couldn't as my wife is home here with a broken/operated on arm and I could not leave her alone. Glad it was a good show.

Correct again! The flutist may come a surprise to some, but the bassist shouldn't.

Benny Goodman “1939, Vol. 2” Chronogical Classics cd

👍 + 3!!!

9 is Helena, the last track (#8) from El Chico. Chico and Gabor, but no Dolphy

You described exactly the show I saw last night. I went and got a beer during the "state of America, AI/Siri/robots" talk (apparently, I was the only one anticipating there would be no intermission, as I was the only one in line) and still had time to come back and listen to the rest of it. At times, he was actually pretty funny, for example, a couple came in a little a late, and while being shown their seats, Herbie said to them, "those seats are waiting for you" Another time, after the "overture" and I think Footprints/Actual Proof, etc., some folks were leaving their seats (maybe to go to the bathroom/get a beverage) and Herbie said, "Oh, you had enough?" Hysterical stuff. His energy was incredible, playing Rocket at the end of the concert, with the keytar, he was jamming and bouncing around with the bassist. Blanchard was in top form, and Jaylen played great, great show overall! Very glad to have seem him!

Duke Ellington “Anatomy of a Murder” Rykodisc cd

Now streaming:

I just got a pretty large order from CDJapan delivered by FedEx with no tarrifs due. Most of it was the new Byg/Actuel series released last month. Phew!

I have this LP and quite enjoy it.

On first listen, I'm not thrilled by the overall performance. It feels very formal, not loose, with the exception of Sayonara Blues, and No Smokin, which are excellent. I couldn't find their playing much different than the studio performances,again excepting the two mentioned tracks.

Disc 3

Farewell, Brownie. Enjoyed your posts.

Thanks for sharing - I jumped around that video a bit and liked what I heard. I think they're fascinating and have had an interesting evolution in their sound from the early albums to the more recent stuff.

Now getting ready for the Axis box set coming Friday by replaying last year’s jewel box “Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision” cd 1

❤️ 👍 beeing an Eddie Costa fan too ( for example: see Tal Farlow )

No doubt, John. Just grabs you by the lapels.
