kh1958

Well worth hearing. I was reading about her, listening to some tracks, and ordered her CD.

Caroline Davis at Scat Jazz, December 26.

Wes Montgomery, Movin', The Complete Verve Recordings (Hip O Select)--discs 1 and 2 yesterday, disc 3 today.

Last night, Shelley Carroll at Scat Jazz in Fort Worth.

You'll just have to bite the bullet and pay. Worth every penny and then some.

You will be thanking Big Jim soon.

I would love to have been there; the CD is excellent.

His last 13 (!) CDs, released since 2006, are all available on cdbaby.com.

He had 2 new CDs (Euphoric and Revelation) released in 2011. His later years were extremely prolific for recordings. I saw him at Drom in October of 2012. He was only able to play about half the set. About 15 years previously when I heard him at the Knitting Factory, he was still in prime form.

Not every state. Only states where Amazon has a physical presence (like a distribution center) can require it to collect sales tax.

Joe Diorio, Solo Guitar. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMH8GW/ref=dm_ws_ps_cdp?ie=UTF8&qid=1385473003&s=music&sr=1-2

It's the same in Texas, sales tax is now collected on purchases from amazon.

I was a bit underwhelmed by this date, seemed a bit of mess IIRC but it's been a while since I heard it. I rather liked about half of it.

Lee Konitz, Leo Wright, Pony Poindexter, Phil Woods, The Alto Summit (Prestige/MPS).

Michael White, Father Music, Mother Dance (Impulse)

Tina Brooks, Back to the Snacks Jackie McLean, Jackie's Sack Don Cherry, Where is the Men's Room?

I'm sorry, I wasn't at home; I checked in for the repeat this morning but the broadcast wasn't working at all.

And Gene Bertoncini, aged 76, sounded beautiful last night. I didn't hear that, as the last two nights I have been having connection problems--I'm not sure if it is the broadcast or on my end.

Yes, while not a perfect recording, the detail of his guitar playing is captured more clearly here than on the studio recordings. Bass and drums are sufficiently audible and balanced with the guitar, and the vocals are mostly clearly captured.

Actually, the recording date is 1968.

This arrived today and I'm listening now, Magic Sam at the Avant Garde June 22, 1968--Newly released on Delmark. With Big Mojo Elem on bass and Bob Richey on drums. It's by a wide margin the best quality live Magic Sam recording released to date. Recorded by Jim Charne, 18 at the time. Thank you very much--it sounds great.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats--75

I received a notice of shipment of the West Montgomery set this morning.

I would have been up for it, as I like all those players, but 1200+ miles away.

This past week, I was able to watch/hear and enjoyed, Pilc, Moutin, Hoenig on Monday night, Dayna Stephens (with Aaron Parks) on Wednesday night, and Saul Rubin (with Stacey Dillard) on Saturday night.
