Hooray for Hampton Hawes! It's well worth tracking down.

I'm now listening to Ravel's Trio for Piano, Violin & Cello, as heard on this French LP:

The Dynamic Hampton Hawes (MPS, rec. 1967) with Eberhard Weber and Klaus Weiss Dutch reissue of an LP originally titled Hamp's Piano ❤️

More Art Pepper from the Maiden Voyage club in L.A.:

Recently, a good friend of mine gave me his old Adcom GFA-555 power amplifier, and I decided to integrate it into my stereo system. Since the amp is vintage, I had it serviced; happily, it came back with a clean bill of health. The technician only had to make minor bias adjustments. Next, I had to buy a preamplifier (since I was replacing my old Marantz AV receiver). After doing a bit of research, I ordered the Schitt Saga 2. It arrived in the mail earlier this week, and I've got everything set up now. Honestly, I'm amazed at how much difference the new amplification makes. I expected improvements, but there's been a huge leap -- especially in the bass. I'm super-pleased, and the system is sounding great!

Gorgeous singing & accompaniment.

Now on my turntable: A favorite LP of mine.

SACD

Definitely reminiscent. The same artist maybe?

@medjuck, Last year, I stayed in the Cumberland House Knoxville. It's a few blocks from the main drag, Gay Street, but easily walkable.

Life-affirming artistry.

Sibelius' Second Symphony, as heard in this set:

A desert-island disc for this listener.

I don't know what "Habs Legend" means!?!?
