This was in his jazz/world music fusion style. Astor Piazolla is an influence on the band's sound.

Last night, Al Di Meola at the Kessler Theater. A trio of acoustic guitar, piano and accordion.

Duke Ellington Plays Mary Poppins (Reprise)

Hey, happy birthday.

A trip to a record show in Richardson (very close to where I live) on Saturday was highly fruitful, including those two.

Disc 1 is all soprano. Disc 2 is all tenor. Disc 3 is split between tenor and soprano.

Herbie Mann and Bobby Jaspar, Flute Souffle (Prestige) Elvin Jones, Coalition (Blue Note)

Django Reinhardt, Quintet of the Hot Club of France, First Recordings (Prestige)

Yesterday afternoon in Allen, Texas, Abisek Lahiri (Sarod) and Subrata Bhattacharya (tabla).

La Dame Blanche, Bajo El Mismo Cielo Weather Report, Sweetnighter (Columbia) Mike Bloomfield and Nick Gravenites, Live at the Fillmore West (Columbia)

I have the Last Testament on the Columbia LP and was very pleasantly surprised on first listen how good it was.

I have ascertained the first benefit to my recent (60th) birthday... Da Camera defines 60 as a senior citizen, so tickets to see Lonnie Smith and Chucho Valdes are half price.

Wayne Shorter, Emanon (Disc 1) (Blue Note)

Wayne Shorter, Emanon (Disc 3) (Blue Note)

I believe Dannie Richmond rejoined Mingus some time in 1973, about the time of the Mingus Moves recording sessions. He had been in the Mark Almond Band, which was a spin-off of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.

Thank you. The birthday gods appear to have sent me a copy of the new Wayne Shorter release before everyone else, so cause to celebrate.
