Perhaps not "Jazz," strictly speaking. ... Then again, who cares when the music is this good?

I'm still working from home full-time. My daughter, a senior in high school, is 100% online -- although there's talk that they're going to return to school before the end of the semester. However, I think it will be optional.

Yeah, I love that record. Roy sounds inspired.

Disc 3 Interesting. I've never seen that cover before. Excellent music, regardless.

While reading Santana's autobiography:

colin, I have the Landmark LP reissue of this session, and I'd be willing to part with it -- since I've also got the music on the Mosaic Single CD. If vinyl would work for you, PM me.

Powerful, Mingus-like intensity. and

Disc 4 and Such a beautiful record!

Yes. This one: Alive and Well in Paris (Pathé, 1968) NP:

Last night, I finished Max Gordon's memoir, Live at the Village Vanguard. I enjoyed it. Gordon is an adept storyteller and writer. I only wish the book were longer! Today, I started reading Carlos Santana's autobiography, The Universal Tone.

Delightfully uncategorize-able music. Anyone who enjoys Airto's music should hear Opa. His fingerprints are all over these records.

So sorry to hear this sad news. R.I.P. and THANK YOU for the music.

Perhaps. ... I never had a chance to see the ERM. I was just a kid when Woods disbanded the group and returned to the U.S. ... But I think they made some impressive recordings -- including the one I posted above. An excellent record, IMO.

More Jaws: Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis & Johnny Griffin - Live at Minton's (Prestige) with Junior Mance, Larry Gales, and Ben Riley

It's always FUN to rediscover stuff that's already in your collection.
