I was able to get XL in the 2 Morgan shirts but all the others were only showing S sizes.

Louis Scherr - Warm Valley (What's In A Name Records). A nice, if rather tame session that I found in a dollar bin and bought with one glance at the cover.

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but for @jazzcorner , I wanted to extend the discussion a little bit. He is over at the Steve Hoffman forums going on & on about how great Jordi Pujol is. I cannot call out any of his BS there unless I want to risk getting the boot. So here we are... Since this thread stopped getting posts, the EU has extended copyright to 70 years in 2011. This means that everything Blue Sounds (Fresh Sound, Lone Hill, Blue Moon, etc.) is selling that was recorded after 1952 is in violation of EU copyright law. That's the facts.

Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy (Deluxe Edition - Disc 2) 1 - The Song Remains The Same (Guitar Overdub Reference Mix) 5:30 2 - The Rain Song (Mix Minus Piano) 7:45 3 - Over The Hills And Far Away (Guitar Mix Backing Track) 4:21 4 - The Crunge (Rough Mix - Keys Up) 3:16 5 - Dancing Days (Rough Mix With Vocal) 3:47 6 - No Quarter (Rough Mix With JPJ Keyboard Overdubs - No Vocal) 7:03 7 - The Ocean (Working Mix) 4:27

The Proclaimers - Sunshine on Leith (Chrysalis) Whenever I hear "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", all I can think of the movie "Benny & Joon", which has some of Johnny Depp's best work.

Theo - The Game Of Ouroboros (Generation Prog Records).

Some of those Prestige two-fers sound pretty good. Some even use the original RVG mastering.

I just finished Bosch - Legacy on FreeVee (formerly IMDB TV). Not as good as Bosch and I hate that it ends on a cliffhanger, but it was worth watching. Now I have to wait for the next season to drop to see what happens next. If you're thinking about watching it, I would wait until they announce the next season's launch date.

I was all set to pre-order this... and I'm not talking about the music here... but what's with the audio on that video preview? Piano sounds rinky-dink and very recessed. The drum kit, particularly the cymbals, are way up in the mix. It does not sound much like a professional recording from 1969. Bob Thiele did this? Really?

The Beatles - Abbey Road Sessions Disc 2. I am not usually a fan of these peeks at the master tapes but I had to do it for "Abbey Road", my favorite Beatles LP.

I'm really thankful that I didn't lose my sense of taste. Several of my friends lost their sense of taste for a few days or even weeks. The wife of one of my coworkers hasn't been able to taste anything for almost a year. I would have a very useless wine cellar if that had happened to me.

I am much better now. I was really sick for a short time... maybe a day and a half? Then I had (have?) a nagging cough. The cough was from a cold I got about 3 weeks before COVID, so I don't think it's been made any worse because of it. I'm very glad I got vaccinated because I would've hated for that day & a half to stretch out longer.

Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. Having Mickey Haller cruise down the road with "The Sidewinder" playing is pretty cool.

I saw Wayne Shorter live a few times. At at least one concert, he played the soprano exclusively. I think it was the tour for Herbie & Wayne's duo CD "1 + 1". Truth be told, it wasn't that great of a show. The two of them just sorta noodled the night away.

If you like Chanbers' arco bass solos... not my favorite.

It took for me to get this Tone Poet LP to realize that there is a ton of reverb added to the horns on this date. I don't think it's a good thing. It's too bad that there isn't a master tape of this session "dry" before RVG added all that reverb, because I'd love to hear it.

Jim Alfredson's Dirty Fingers - A Tribute To Big John Patton (Big O Records). Excellent CD. No offense to the organissimo dates, I really like this date by Jim.

The last time I saw George, he was still "Big George". Man, he looks so frail up there. But then again, my mom is 85 and she can barely walk, never mind play a saxophone, so George is doing something right. Joe Farnsworth is a damn fine drummer.

I actually pulled it out because it has Gary Bartz on it and I've read on Facebook that Gary has had to cancel a few appearances due to his health, so I wanted to spin something of his. I should've spun his live date from Birdland, "There Goes The Neighborhood", which is smokin'.

Next up, Lawrence Brown's All-Stars with Johnny Hodges - Inspired Abandon (Impulse!). A nice stereo original I found at Stereo Jack's a few years ago. I hear a record like this and all I can think is that this is one of Duke's guys trying to make a few bucks on his own but it's still an Ellington record. Funny, but I saw this "Inspired Abandon" as I was filing Donald Brown's "Sources of Inspiration" a rather fitting progression.

Donald Brown - Sources of Inspiration (Muse). With this band, I thought I'd like this more. It's not inspiring me to spin it again.

Not Jazz... not classical... not quite rock... I guess it belongs here though: Jim Alfredson - In Memorandom (Big O Records). I listen to this pretty regularly while working. I keep hoping that Jim puts the long-awaited sequel to this date. I do like it a lot.

Lee Morgan - Search For The New Land. One of my few (only?) DMM LPs. I am not generally a fan of these pressings, as they generally sound too bright to me. This LP is no different. Very bright or maybe a better way to put it - very little bass and too much midrange. I never did pick this up when Music Matters put it out. I should have. This is a great session. Probably my favorite Lee Morgan date.

James Clay & David 'Fathead' Newman - The Sound Of The Wide Open Spaces!!!! (Riverside/OJC). Great rhythm section, Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones & Art Taylor. that rarely recorded together. I think their only other recording is Byrd's "Off To The Races". Is that Clay who keeps having reed problems? You would've thought after the first one or two, he would've gotten that straightened out.

But this is the first time I've seen it on YouTube. I don't generally buy every music DVD ever made.
