What were the first musics recorded for Compact Disc, though? Jazz and Classical

Victor The Cardshark - Gonna Freeze It Right There

I'd be curious to know at what point "divisions" devolved into "cost centers".

That's part of the appeal of him for me, that shit was not contrived or otherwise adopted, he HEARD those sounds, that was part of his palate. And a large palate it was, too!

It's dense, multilayered, and perhaps superficially redundant.But only superficially. And the singings are just totally delightful! Truly, he created a musical language all his own.

I've had a Zawinul Spotify thing going for about a month now, and it's almost all post-WR/Columbia stuff. Without fail, I find the music to be deliriously joyous and just ALL kinds of crazy wackgood.

Koko Popadopolis - Anthem For KuKu

Happy All The Days!!!

Yep.

Ditto Jazz Goes To College.

For the sax work, I probably prefer the Verve. Succinct! But on the RCA record, follow the bass lines, they are strong and compelling and provide the context for everything else.

Some interest, not all.

The records with Mulligan. Just them, bass, and drums. One on Verve, one on RCA. Or...there's an early Fantasy date with him & Don Elliot, no chordal instruments on that one. About Desmond "actually playing", though...the earliest Brubeck quartet records (on Fantasy) have Desmond REALLY playing. Just sayin'...

I'm not a virus psychologist, but if anybody here is, please advise. Is Omicron an effort by the virus to stay alive by any means, i.e. - willing to spread more at the expense of potency? Or... Is it an attempt to sacrifice immediate potency for the sake of getting a chance to regroup into a more potent form when the opportunity presents itself? Of course, viruses don't "think" (that we know of yet...), but patterns of survival in all life forms...possibilities exist. Some strategies lead to increase, some lead to decrease (and even extinction). I guess we'll know when we get there. But the lack of a really consistent population strategy seems to be to almost exponentially increase the range of variables, and more variable is probably not what we should feel good about in terms of a possible positive end game? Right? Real science people, speak up here, please.

and just got word that another one of my granddaughter's friends has tested positive. No indication yet of how symptomatic she is, but just the possibility of a pediatric ICU is chilling. That's an emotional reaction, of course.

Whatever hope I have is going to be rooted on a general consensus of appropriate/effective factually-informed behavior by the general population. Y'all can do the math on that one.

The whole concept of "binary choices"...good for the handling of data, bad for the thought process of living creatures.

The extra Golden Circle material has been out on CD already, so why not do a "dummy" cover for it, like Live At The Golden Circle Vols 3-4 or something like that, and include it in this box. Value added. Otherwise, it's leaving material/money on the table.

That we are still in pandemic mode strikes me as a massive failure of the species to pay attention at any meaningful level or to any meaningful degree. To get to endemic would therefore be a triumph, albeit a hollow one.

More and more I hear "endemic", to replace "pandemic". That would be both a success and a failure, imo. People make choices, and choices have consequences.

That's more than a dream, it's actually totally reasonable. This.

How many of those 50,000,000 Elvis Fans are still alive?
