A desert-island disc.

Charles Lloyd Quartet - Montreux 82 (Elektra Musician) with Michel Petrucciani, Palle Danielsson, and Sonship Theus

Two Is One

Yeah, I hear you. Before buying the PP vinyl, I only had Hells Bells as an MP3 download. So it was easier for me to justify the cost of the LP. I think the only other PP reissue I've purchased is Harold Vick's Don't Look Back -- since it wasn't available in any other format.

Showed up at my local Publix yesterday evening to see if they had any "extra" vaccine doses that would go to waste otherwise. Turns out they did. So I got my first dose (Moderna). No side effects whatsoever.

Dub - Hells Bells is such a great record that I plopped for the Pure Pleasure reissue. It's not a super-great sounding LP (strictly from an audio quality point of view), IMO -- but it ain't bad either. Somewhere in between. So I would not recommend buying it if you're in the game for an "audiophile experience"; HOWEVER, I would definitely recommend buying it for the music. Even at the expensive PP price. (OTOH, if you already have the Charly CD, it's probably not necessary.) Steadfast isn't quite on the same level, IMO. It's good stuff, but not as good as Hells Bells. My 2 cents.

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Blue Rondo (Concord) with Bill Smith (cl), Chris Brubeck (b, tb), and Randy Jones (d)

This again: Marty Ehrlich & Anthony Cox - Falling Man (Muse, 1991) So true!

Marty Ehrlich & Anthony Cox - Falling Man (Muse, 1991) Beautiful.

Now spinning: Joanne Brackeen - Special Identity (Antilles) with Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJohnette One helluva trio!

First listen to an album recommended by mikeweil: Billy Pierce - The Complete William the Conqueror Sessions (Sunnyside) Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone – Billy Pierce Piano – James "Sid" Simmons or James Williams Bass – John Lockwood Drums – Keith Copeland

Great record! And welcome Beatnik!

via YT: Cecil McBee - Flying Out (India Navigation, 1982) Bass, Piano – Cecil McBee Cornet – Olu Dara Violin – John Blake Cello – David Eyges Drums – Billy Hart

Chico Hamilton - Peregrinations (Blue Note, 1975) with Arthur Blythe, Joe Beck, Steve Turre, et al I love this record! Blue Note should reissue Peregrinations and the subsequent BN album, Chico Hamilton and the Players, on a single CD. I'd buy it in a heartbeat -- if only for on-the-go listening.

Happy Birthday to BIG GEORGE!!! And many happy returns.

Stanley Turrentine - West Side Highway (Fantasy, 1978)

You're right... on both counts!
