"The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions" disc 1 I haven't listened to this set in a long time, and I haven't heard the remix version of "Filles De Kilimanjaro" in a long time. Such a blast from my past.

You can read Hit Men and take it from there.

November 18 Cindy Blackman Santana - 1959

Got this yesterday, been in the car all day today. Mighty fine stuff!!!

Oh c'mon - like people don't read memoirs by mobsters? And this isn't just a mobbed up guy, he was deep in the music we love. That's what makes his story interesting to me.

Levy was one of the scummiest of scumbags. I don't know that I'd want to read a book about his life.

I didn't see that listed. However I recommend "Me and the Mob and the Music" by Tommy James in which Levy is a central figure.

https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/W/Whistle-Stop The first one I think I want to read after it arrives is the biography of the infamous Morris Levy. $20 and change with free shipping for new hardcovers. - this is a tremendous deal

Tedeschi Trucks/Leon Russell - Mad Dogs and Englishmen Revisited This is cool - they brought in all of the remaining members of Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs band, included RIta Coolidge and Dave Mason. And newer folks like Chris Robinson and Warren Haynes. Fun album.

Finally getting to sit in front of the stereo after a morning of activity. It’s cold out there! Starting off with John Coltrane, “Dakar,” a session I have always liked produced by Teddy Charles for Prestige, pairing Coltrane with baritone saxophonists Pepper Adams and Cecil Payne, with Mal Waldron, Doug Watkins and Art Taylor. Sounding really good in the mastering from this box set:

My pleasure! Could you post the link here for others? I could not do it from my phone.
