Holy Ghost

I know there are some Ohioans here, even nearby. WE ARE GOING! https://www.playhousesquare.org/events/detail/jazzfest-25-sun-ra-arkestra

LOLs, yeah don't think think any of that is happening, let alone Pilot nor some rich producer living it up in the Bahamas.

Night cap. Thank you Felser!

On Impulse!? Now:

Okay, tangent time, but I don't know about all of you, but I'm really sick how these pharmaceutical conglomerates are inserting their catch words into classic songs into their commercials. Like how Ozempic changed Pilot's Oh it's Magic: Too... Too: 😐 Like, stop it!

Yeah, really enjoy the Campbell (got to him live at CMA with Henry Grimes back in 2006) the Parkers and Shipps are all extremely nice on these thirsty ears.

On the same set being offered here? One of the greatest alt/art rock/pre-grunge/college rock bands of the late 60's of all-time.

Just got back from Chicago a few days ago. What part? We were largely on the north side. About Step Lightly. Never heard it, you like it? Now, an awesome find at Reckless Records on Milwaukee Ave North: The 1995 connoisseur with the extra tracks.

Yes. The Columbia/Legacy edition. It's packed and I can't recall if its Don Byas or Bud Powell on the front of the CD booklet.

Have the Don Byas. Just got home: spinning the Bud Powell Columbia on Thelonious I picked up for $5 never to be see again in a weird-ass record store outside Hyland Park: wow! Completes the Cannonball's Columbia producing jazz he was doin' there for a short while.

A lot of those song titles involving the word sun...😎

👍Picked up the RCA long time ago for cheap (couldn't believe it, same artwork!). Glad I did, the BNs, Impulses, and Columbias are favorites!

You get it! I share an office space with my wife at home, and she LOVES sunlight, which shines on my cd shelves and book cases everyday, which I know the sun is having its way with my stuff! She's a chemistry professor and researcher, yet she doesn't know the damage direct sunlight inflicts on colors that get burned out of existence?! If I had my druthers, I'd hire a team to take out that window, and replace it with a wall, so I can control the lighting.

Wisconsin haul. Milwaukee was kinda' sweet having a kick-ass record store next to Half Price: Volte Records: Trane. Blue Trane, but the mono version, BN Japan ($4 okay) Vince Guaraldi. Latin Side of Vince Guaraldi. Fantasy OJC (grew up listening to this stuff!, absolutely love it) Kenny Dorham. Jazz Contemporary. Sealed, Time Japan Eric Dolphy. Conversations. Sealed, FS/Douglass. Fills out Iron Man in the same issue series I only had half of. Half Price next door: Horace Silver. To frame the sleeve on the wall. BN Japan reprint (not a tone poem, but selling at $20). Looks slick, no wring ware, record is so-so, but still!

Trying a lot of microbrews here in Chicago and Milwaukee. Like this one from Chicago:

More !!!!! Let's just go bonkers nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOLs. I may be homeless by the end of the week, but I will have the most kick-ass cd collection around! A note about Reckless Records, it's not quite the same as it was when I was in Chicago 15 years ago. Far more care was given to CD's then now. For example, I'm sure we CD/LP collectors know that sunlight fades/ruins the colors on CD spines/covers, but Reckless is kinda', well, reckless. They put the jazz CD's right by the window, right in front of the sunshine, and the Impulse and Atlantic spines suffered the most, because of the orange and red colors. I probably would've bought more, but the damage to the CD art was already done. A shame.

I've been in Chicago since Monday, and my wallet is ready to shoot me, but after Signal Records and Reckless down the street on Milwaukee, I don't know how I am going to get through Dusty Groove without refinancing my home. So far: Stanley Cowell. Brilliant Circles. Freedom Japan mini LP. Albert Ayler. Spirits, Debut Japan mini LP (upgrade from some mid-level label I have). Cecil Taylor. Live at the Cafe Montmartre. Freedom Japan mini LP (original cover art!) Paul Bley. Touching. Japan mini LP ( Röling art). Dewey Redman. Look for the Black Star. Japan mini LP (Röling art). Gabor Szabo. Spellbinder (Verve digi pak). Lee Konitz. At Storyville. Storyville Japan mini LP 2 CD set. Zoot Sims and Bob Brookmeyer. Tonight's Music Today. Storyville Japan mini LP 2 CD set. Bobby Hutcherson. Total Eclipse. BN Japan Budget (upgrade from the original CD issue). Milt Jackson. Bag's Opus. UA/BN, not a club edition! Jimmy Smith. At Club Baby Grand, vols I & II, BN Japan Budget Dizzy Reece. Blues in Trinity. BN Connoisseur. Long story short, when my first daughter was 2, she spilled milk on the R's and this was one of the casualties. Bought the TOCJ because the Connie went OPP but it was missing the last three tracks. Nearly 25 years later...got it back!) Kai Winding. The Incredible Trombones... impulse! Japan. Have the LP sleeve framed on the wall, now I can listen to the music! (I do not have a operating turntable) Larry Young. Young Blues. OJC. 'Nuff said.

Another 👍 Wow! Never seen these before! Weird? I like disc two more than disc one.

👍

Another great! Thank you for all the great music, RIP! Enjoy this date very much:
