Excellent choice.

Schlippenbach/Parker/Lovens - Detto Fra Di Noi - Live in Pisa 1981

Manfred Schoof Quintet - Resonance (ECM) Today I´d say: Flowers all over!

Arnie Krakowsky - Where The Tenor Meets The Bone (Seaside Recordings). Arnie is a local tenor player who still gigs at a lot of the smaller clubs in my area. I bought this CD and the other featuring this band, "Is It Minor Yours?" from him at a couple of these gigs. This CD is very nice, with Arnie on tenor, George Masso on Trombone, Jon Wheatley on guitar. Paul Schmeling on piano, Marshall Wood on bass and Artie Cabral on drums, "local" musicians who I managed to see perform many times over the years. Sadly, Masso & Cabral have both passed away.

SML (Small, Medium, Large) (International Anthem)

Shabaka, Of the Earth

Simply a brilliant track !

I liked her early records on JMT. They were very forward-thinking at the time.

April 6 Manfred Schoof - 1936 - 90 today!

season finale of Dark Winds

That would be terrific! I did get to see Benny Carter perform once some time in the late 1980s or early 1990s, he seemed ageless. Too bad I wasn't yet on the Scarecrow Press publicity list when the two Benny Carter volumes were first published. They put out a lot of great jazz books.

These university presses and some specialty publishers I guess are the only ones willing to produce this sort of thing and the audience is not vast so the books are always really pricey. I found volume 2 for about 9 bucks and I've been reading the first volume on internet archive and decided I want a hard copy of volume 1. I came across what appears to be the second edition of both volumes on ebay for about $35 and plunked for it. So I may end up with an extra 2nd volume which I could pass along to you.

I went to the theatre to see Apocalypse Now. I assumed it was the original but it was the 3 hour Final Cut! I enjoyed it. A lot of people say it hits the sweet spot between the original release and Redux. The trip up the river takes even longer, but I think that makes sense when you think about the source material (Heart of Darkness).

Grateful Dead “Dave’s Picks Vol. 51” 3 disc set, disc 1 April 13, 1971, at the Scranton Catholic Youth Center in Scranton, Pennsylvania

I found volume 1 for like $5 in the past couple of years. Wish Volume 2 had been in the same store.

This afternoon: ... plus disc one of the Beiderbecke-Trumbauer/Teagarden Mosaic:
