Up early. -3 degrees and saw a party of deer walk through the side lot, always a thrill to see life in the moonlight. Starting off a quiet listening session with Kenny Burrell “Ellington is Forever, Vol. 1” on Fantasy/OJC cd. Yes, Ellington IS forever.

Wow. I feel better now. 🤡

Fascinating discovery, Dan. Simmen was a well reputed promoter of stride piano.

Excellent song, timely lyrics. The boss being the boss.

I still have that vinyl myself. Classic album! Jeanne's B-day! 🎂

Dusty carries such Japanese books occasionally. On one blurb I read a while back, they claimed that intrepid buyers could use their phones to translate the Japanese text. I don't see that claim in the above blurb, but it still might be possible. 😉

That would be a great book for me if I could read Japanese!

Original LP

This is fantastic.

I just found out about this compilation that was released last Fall. Seems to be a Cherry Red release, which are generally excellent. It has a chunk of Morricone's avant-garde work plus some other interesting material by Berio (incl Sinfonia w. Swingle Singers!), Nono and Maderna. Doesn't fit into the budget right now, but on the long-term wish list.

I thought the 3/10/60 tracks were bonus tracks on Out of the Blue? We need to tell him about Huss Charles

Does anyone in the Chicago area on this board frequent the Jazz at Lincoln Center?

Oh yeah.

I think you'll find "Morning Glory" more involving. .. it is at least pretty well-written.
