Umlaut Big Band ‎– Euro Swing (Umlaut Records, 2015)

Happy B’day! I’ll play some Tete Montoliu Trio records with Tootie as a small tribute.

Sarah Vaughan ‎– Sassy Swings Again (Mercury, 1967)

Joe Venuti & George Barnes - Gems (Concord, 1975)

Madrid is full of Red Devils and Spurs... rivers of beer are flowing all over the city... 🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻 Didn’t manage to get tickets at a reasonable price. Will watch the match at home with my sons; all of us are Liverpool supporters (out of the list of Premier teams), but definitely Tottenham is also likeable for us... unlike Chelsea or City 🤗 Let’s hope it will be a good match!

Those are pretty deep thoughts! 😀 Now listening: I know it’s a classic but... not my cup of tea.

Albert King ‎– Born Under A Bad Sign (Stax, 1967)

Ian McCulloch - Candleland (WEA, 1989) I used to be a huge fan but, after “Tunnel Of Love”, I find his music too linear. Of course, there still a bunch of good songs here and there, and “The Ghost of Tom Joad” partially successfully points to “Nebraska” (which is a gem!!!). But nothing like “The River”, “Darkness...”, “Born to Run”... Some of his songs still bring tears to my eyes whenever I listen to them, for different sentimental reasons: “Thunder Road”, “I Wanna Marry You”, “No Surrender”, “Badlands”... and many more...

Don Ellis - New Ideas (Prestige/New Jazz, 1961)

Boss binge, eh?

In fact this is just yet another of my unsuccessful periodic attempts to understand and enjoy this type of music... It bores me to death!

Edward Vesala ‎– Nan Madol (JAPO/ECM, 1974)

Marlene VerPlanck ‎– I Think Of You With Every Breathe I Take (Savoy/Audiphile, 1956)

First game for the Raptors. Mighty Marc Gasol, colossal Siakam, good Kawhi... while Curry reaches his 100th triple in the Finals, first player ever. Cousin was not a factor in this game. Let’s see when/if Durantula returns.

Sure! And I still rank "The More Things Change..." as one of the best metal albums ever. Those were the days! And now back to sanity : The Marvelettes ‎– The Definitive Collection (Universal)

Machine Head ‎– Burn My Eyes (Roadrunner Records, 1994) Peaceful music for this afternoon...

Brahms / Glenn Gould ‎– 10 Intermezzi For Piano (Columbia)

Complete Chopin Nocturnes by Claudio Arrau (Philips)

FWIW, and from the Hank Mobley group in FB, here's a napkin autographed by the members of Miles Davis' group at the Black Hawk in San Francisco on 26 June 1962, including Hank and J.J. Johnson:
