James Brandon Lewis Trio - Apple Cores   i don't normally like JBL very much but this is a much more energised record than his usual. It is still the same tenor playing 

Decided to start the day off with some Bird. I have not listened to a lot of later Bird this decade and decided to put the final disc of this box set into the transport. Charlie Parker “The Complete Verve Master Takes” disc 3   360×404 35.7 KB   Fully formed and mature Bird, powerful tone and as fluid and fascinating as a world class figure skater. No wonder he commanded so much respect and was so influential. That choir singing “Old Folks” always cracks me up. They get the vibe of the song and then Charlie just takes it somewhere else. I love Willard Robinson tunes.

RIP. I watched "Conversation" last week.
