Ha! Went to a vinyl clearout sale at a local record shop today and found the Phontastic LP (that has this session including that Night In Tunisia version) for the princely sum of 1 EUR°! So thanks again for hipping everyone to that recording, Marcel!

David Attenborough is 100 today!

I'm a fan of that one too.

7. I like a lot, the latin intro reminds me of "Manteca". Great saxophonist, it drives me crazy because it's sounds so familiar but I have no idea, very intriguing.

Miles Davis “Filles De Kilimanjaro” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD This album found at the local library shifted my listening world back in '72.

This came to my email this morning. https://thebluemoment.com/2026/05/08/alex-hawkins-at-cafe-oto/

Another cool morning. Going to hit 50 today. Good day to work outside. Starting off with Yes, Tales from Topographic Oceans, Super Deluxe Edition disc 7. This disc features “Single Edits” made by Steven Wilson that I find quite interesting.

May 8 Keith Jarrett - 1945

Steve Douglas trumps Ward Cleaver this time.

Following this discussion, I picked this up. Just my kind of music! Of the 60 tracks, I would not have included only four or five. All of the songs are well-known, but there are quite a number which I did not know were show tunes.

Charley Crockett: Age Of The Ram

Like many "anthologies" some cuts are better than others. Overall I'm glad to have it.
