Yes. My injuries easily could have been far worse. And that's very sobering. ... But I still love motorcycling.

Shaping up to be a piano trio sorta day.

Archival release from 1979 and CD compiles 2 LPs: Guarabe (Fantasy, 1977) and Here (Galaxy, 1979) Two excellent piano trios! Both are my 70s jazz survey.

I've ridden motorcycles since I was a kid. Most recently, I owned a Kawasaki ZRX1200R. Unfortunately, I took a pretty nasty spill on it last year while riding in the mountains up in North Georgia. I entered a curve too quickly, tried to stand up the bike and hit the brakes. I squeezed way too hard, locked the front brake, and sent myself flying over the handlebars. I landed on my left shoulder, breaking my collar bone and about five ribs. The bike was tore up pretty bad too -- but still ride-able. A few weeks later, I decided to sell it to a friend who can fix things himself. Eventually, I'll get back in the saddle, but it'll likely be on a smaller, little less powerful bike. I'm not as young as I used to be. ... Also, a spill like that is a jolt. Needless to say, I'll be more cautious going forward.

A recent acquisition: I've only heard this a couple times, but I already regard it as one of Lieb's best. Liebman performs with electric bassist Oscar Stagnaro and four percussionists. Very Latin (but not salsa-y and frenetic). Very Coltrane-esque. Very "spiritual." Wonderful. Looking for an entry point into Liebman's vast discography? Begin here. Especially if you dig Latin percussion. Audiophile quality sonics too.

Larry Willis !!!

jazzcorner, I don't think the Bee Hive LPs have ever been issued on CD. Sound is not good. Music is great.

I dig Kessel. Here's another really good one: with Bobby Hutcherson, Chuck Domanico, and Elvin Jones

and No doubt.

Archie Shepp - The Cry of My People (Impulse) Owes as much to Gospel and Soul it does to jazz. But all genre concerns aside, what a POWERFUL statement. ... Right there with Max's Lift Every Voice and Sing, Billy Harper's Capra Black, Rahsaan's Prepare Thyself, and (so much!) Ellington. They spill over the borders, jazz that transcends jazz. ... Like Duke said, "Beyond category."

Richard "Groove" Holmes - Blues All Day Long (32 Jazz) Originally released on Muse, recorded in 1988

Excellent.
