"The forest cobra is a generalist in its feeding habits, having a highly varied diet: anything from large insects to small mammals and other reptiles." There should be plenty to eat then.

Cancelling/Postponing all visits to Grand Prairie for the foreseeable future.

Louis is of course great.

The overvaluation of Louis Armstrong relative to Jellly Roll Morton and Sidney Bechet has gotten absurd.

In my one live experience with the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine many years ago (around 1984), they played Doll of the Bride to close a set. It was utterly fantastic.

The one I was missing that I wanted was the Billie Holiday, Banned from New York. Fortunately, there was a reasonably priced used copy on eBay.

Just listened to the first disc so far. Woody Shaw is on fire. Slow start on first track, but both Understanding and Billie's Bounce are terrific. Good sound too.

It's not the best. The guitar is quite low in the mix. The organ seemed to fluctuate between being too low to loud on the first side. I found it sounded better when I turned it up pretty loud when listening to the second side.

Roy Brooks, Understanding (Reel to Real)

Jimmy Smith, Live at the Village Gate (Metro) Dizzy Gillespie, Cornucopia (Solid State)

Alice Coltrane, Ptah the El Daoud (Impulse)

Charlie Byrd, Byrd by the Sea (Fantasy) Errol Garner, Contrasts (Emarcy)

I thought both discs were excellent. It captures well the Roy Hargrove I remember from live performances.
