They have found a home already.

A couple of duplicates that for some reason the record store didn't want to take: The Herman Select is missing the booklet but contains all 3 discs in good shape + the outer box with minimal wear. The Drummond is in good shape and is an incredible album. $20 shipped for WH and $10 for the Drummond, or both for $25. Would also be happy to trade for really just about anything jazz, particularly anything Steeplechase or Criss Cross, to make it easier.

Last week an incredible 2 set gig Chuck Roth & Sakina Abdou duo trio with Ryan Sawyer on drums Sakina is a great tenor saxophonist. She is visiting from Lille, France Chuck’s guitar playing with the trio as great as always, maybe better:)

Nick Brignola - Northern Lights (Discovery). I'm spinning this to needle drop it for my digital library. As I spin it again - it's been a long while - I'm realizing that it's not one of Nick's best dates.

I'd be interested in the Coltrane if you decide to sell it.

Pim and I have a very similar collection...

Cast from Lost Boys musical.

Just finished "Daredevil--Born Again" Season 2. Nice, wishful-thinking-to-the-situation-now ending.

CD

My friend Takashi's recent performance, with others, of Stockhausen's Mikrophonie I .

"Falling in Love is Wonderful" has just been reissued on LP, CD, and streaming. Devasting. Absolutely devasting. Only three singers can stop the world like this on a ballad: Scott, Sinatra, and Holiday. I have been listening to this track constantly and crying. Music can stimulate all kinds of ideas and emotions, but if it doesn't make you FEEL something deep within you, then what are we even doing here? 1962. The song is by Jimmy Van Heusen (music) and Johnny Burke (lyrics). Gerald Wilson wrote the arrangement.

Yep, but it should be remembered that Joe Philips plays sax and bass on that track.

On to something very different, Yusef Lateef “1984” Impulse Japan cd Drums – James Black Bass - Reggie Workman Piano – Mike Nock Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Oboe – Yusef Latee

Starting off.stuffy morning re-playng this Jazz Oracle gem. So much “Bix” with no Bix present. A real snapshot of his early influence. Red Nichols “Red Nichols On Edison: Recorded in New York 1924-1927” Jazz Oracle cd

the music is great, wish they would have tried a bit harder with the cover design

Tonight I saw an astounding 'outside jazz' performance by the “Being & Becoming” trio of Peter Evans, Tyshawn Sorey & Nick Jozwiak. A rare West Coast tour.

Last Saturday...
