Holy Ghost

Just an incredible record, from jacket to the music, still blows me away.

Fantastic! Huge Peanuts fan, and Vince Guaraldi defined my upbringing, even though my parents didn't get it at the time. One of my all time favorites:

I want to start the new year with Duke: Excellent!!

Weird, think it's a statue, but maybe his wife, Moci, but not to get to weird about it, she was white, so I don't know. Nenah did say this in the chapter about her dad, where she thought this album sleeve embodied everything about jazz to her; she really dug her dad in shades in this picture...I do too:

Wow. For reals, cool as fluffin' fluf, that record especially you show there, cost an arm and maybe a leg! Meanwhile, I totally forgot I owned this! Like I forgot!?!

I dig. 😁 NP: 'cause Christmas ain't over here yet.

Fantastic news. Over Christmas, we were watching the Charlie Brown Christmas Tales DVD, which included music I never heard before. Great stuff indeed!

Yeah, I've heard of these titles, specifically here, in great praise, I should just by the Milestone boxset. Haha, You mean like this record?

Very good album it is. Great sleeve art too.

Love the sleeve, but think the scattered tracks around I have.

Yeah! I have Power to the People, but want to dig deeper into the Milestone years.

I'm just not going to to see if I posted here or not, but YEAH! FULL-BLOWN Vince Guaraldi fan. Grew up listening to him, love his music, his themes, everything. I start here. Its my fall music album:

Wife selected it.

Talk about C.G. Jung's synchronicity. I was at a bar last night with friends for a drink and Eagle Eye’s Save the Night came on…cheers! Then later, we walked over to Barnes and Noble right by the restaurant we were at, and I came across Nenah Cherry’s Memoir, and of course I raced over to the chapter on Don. WOW. Within 5 minutes, she talks about her brother, Eagle Eye. Now that’s synchronicity!

Playing now: Maybe my third favorite Christmas album.

Yeah! Two of my favorites!

YUK, in no political direction 😁

Yeah, I'm not finished. After finishing a big project, who else would I like to celebrate with then...

Some Residual Christmas listening:

Considered a Christmas album in my home:

Granted, one of the prettiest pictures of a toolbox I've ever seen. Whoever was in charge of the lighting, nailed it. But wait, no ladders, backhoes, earthmovers, bull dozers, cherry pickers, foremen? Who's in charge here? I want to speak to the manager.

What a batch of music. Excellent listining, period.

Braxton, Dolphy and Ayler in no particular order.

Polarizing. WOW. Dortmund (1976) changed everything (for me). When I was studying bass clarinet in my early teens, and heard this, this record stopped me straight in my tracks, and I never played the same since.
