This compilation will digg deep into your soul. I figured a strange but accurate name for it; 'Helping music' . Constance Demby–Om Mani Padme Hum is delightful for me. 'Under the radar stuff'

Listening to an ezz-thetics cd remake of the Impulse John Coltrane “One Down, One Up” 2 cd set, called “ong Of Praise New York 1965 Revisited” and I have read it sounds way better than the Impulse, and it does. I think this is an imortant musical document.

Revolutionary piece of art. Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch the 26th‑anniversary commemorative project of this album live at the Noches del Botánico festival on June 3rd in Madrid, with Enrique Morente’s son, Kiki, taking his place.

My show for this Sunday features the music of Turtle Island Quartet and my interview with its founder, violinist and composer David Balakrishnan. I will be happy to share the files with anyone interested.

Thanks guys. I have a couple more useless lists on Discogs

That show is a no-brainer!

I recently posted about this album in another thread. And excellent recording and performance by the band, especially a fiery George Coleman. Hats off to Zev Feldman (and his Reel to Real label) for making this available.

So a couple-three weeks in and we have some outstanding titles. This should be treat (and threat to my budget).

Reading some recent fiction: Russell Smith's Self Care and Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar. After this, a swing through Southern literature: Faulkner's The Wild Palms and O'Connor's A Good Man is Hard to Find.

Just saw Mike Murley with Reg Schwager & Neil Swainson at Hirut. Very nice trio work (guitar instead of piano). Will likely go tomorrow evening as well.

I must admit that I am completely unfamiliar with most on the lisr!

Totally badass.

ooh, nice one. Originally issued by Hal Willner's "Shemp" label. Hal was a great guy.

JEEK-ul

On to disc 2 of this set, recorded at Ronnie Scott’s in London in 1969. This would be/would have been a good candidate for the Plangent Process, but still sounds quite good. Marty Morell may not be the most popular drummer that Evans hired, but he had a long tenure and I find much to admire in his drumming (I used to be a drummer myself, some years ago). A “peppier” Evans performance than many others. Bill Evans “Evans in England” Resonance Records 2 cd set disc2 300×300 7.54 KB
