More Rabbit:

Facebook -- and Mark Zuckerberg -- gives me the heebie-jeebies. So I don't use the platform. Y'all go ahead. I'll opt out.

Now: Disc 12 - Recordings from the mid-Forties Earlier today: and Jim - Just paused Duke to give this a listen. I dug it! Thanks for sharing. ... Sounds like y'all were having a great time.

Did not know that. Interesting.

An extraordinary performance.

Now spinning: Scriabin: The Divine Poem (Symphony No. 3) / Svetlanov, USSR SO (Angel-Melodiya)

Prokofiev's Sixth & Seventh Symphonies, performed by Vladimir Ashkenazy & the Cleveland Orchestra:

Yep. Couldn't agree more. NP: 2016 Elemental/Blue Note repressing, 180 gram vinyl

NP: Duke's version of "The Days of Wine & Roses" on this LP is really special. The way Gonsalves caresses that melody. Phew!!! Magnificent from start to finish !!!

Yep, that's confused me before too. Real Gone Music = Quality. Real Gone = PD junk.

Yes!!! Went round and round with this selection. For a long time, my choice was Nefertiti. GREAT record. But, in the end, I went with my gut, with the 70s Hill record that I play most frequently, which is the Montreux solo LP. ... Even said as much in the brief blog entry. I need to listen to this one more closely. I've heard it, but I don't know it. Lord is probably right... especially since the more recent CD releases say Paris and 1977. ... So let's go with that. 👍 No doubt! 😁

LOL

I don't know Keeper of My Soul. I'll keep an eye out for it. But I do know Valley Land (Muse, 1974): It's good. But not as good as I wanted it to be -- especially given Billy Hart & Sam Jones. Sometimes the magic works; sometimes it doesn't. Re: the write-ups -- It's just gobble-de-gook to sell stuff, no? Like the descriptions on Dusty Groove ...
