We live in Munson Township, just up the hills from Chardon, and we usually get a little more snow than Chardon. So we have gotten over 102" this season. That's a heavier winter than in over a decade.

My brother Patrick decided to snow bird in Myrtle Beach, SC like my parents did for close to 20 years. Yesterday they got 5 inches of snow. I imagine they'll be shut down for a while. It's not like they have a cadre of snowplows down there.

that finally made it to CD in 2017 (part of the Japanese Mainstream/Solid reissue series)

1 & 13 are really intriguing, most of the musicians seem familiar to me, I should identify them.

Cold! The city of Chardon is reporting 102" of snow received this winter. We live in the hills above Chardon and usually get a little more. This is a heavy winter indeed. More snow predicted today, perhaps not a lot. I’m getting in on the fun among jazz fans and listening to the final disc in the Tower Records Edition SACD set of Miles Davis “Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel.” Music I’ve enjoyed for decades now.

During the weekend: and

I liked the show a lot, can understand why someone else wouldn’t. BUT she was incredible in it… indisputable. How did she even come up with that accent.

Saw this again on the big screen a couple of months back. Great stuff. One of my very favorite Brooks's films.

I received as a present the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz (on cassette no less!). The first box set I bought for myself was probably Thelonious Monk Complete Riverside Recordings.

Indeed, you did!

My very first box was the first Mosaic - the Blue Note recordings. I was a jazz newbie and I read an ad in Downbeat. The UPS guy delivered it on Christmas Eve, 1985 or 1986. Amazing business, amazing run. Early on, I played the hell out of Tina Brooks, Larry Young, Andrew Hill, Woody Shaw, Jackie McLean and Art Blakey. That material was just unavailable, at least in the midwest. Adored those boxes, still do.

Yeah, this is good.

Pierre Dørge & New Jungle Orchestra – Music From The Danish Jungle (Dacapo, 1996)

There was a Jesse Welles segment on CBS Morning News today. I was skeptical - BUT it was pretty good.

Maybe that's where the 250 foot high arch is going.

Yes, I also found the sound clips ! A bit sad to admit that, after listening to those, I'm gonna skip these re-releases ....

3. Just got another one. "Language", Myra Melford from Snowy Egret.

I like Lady Gaga's contribution, which is a little more subtle:

They decided they had to kill the center in order to save it. 😒
