I was able to slip in two discs while Lucinda and Tobi took a nap. First Donald Byrd “Fuego” Blue Note Japan 24 Bit by RVG lp facsimile cd Then Disc 7/Session 7 of the Chet Baker box set, which has interesting piano by Francy Boland and some neat Pres-idential tenor by Jean-Louis Chautemps.

Don Cherry, pocket trumpet in hand.

Now Larry Young “Into Something” 24 Bit by RVG Blue Note Japan LP facsimile cd. Great session with Sam Rivers, Grant Green and Elvin Jones.

A nice cool morning. Starting off with disc 12 in the Grateful Dead “Summer Magic 1985” box set.

Light in the Attic is a very reputable record label which creates great reissues. I would wager their sources for this release are original tapes.

Time for some Charles Ellsworth! Pee Wee Russell "Jazz Original" Commodore cd

There are so many I wish I had seen but top of the list are Duke, Miles and Ayler.

Right now The fifth session/disc in the Chet Baker Paris Barclay box set, this session brightened by Bobby Jaspar’s participation, and Maurice Vander on piano.

A warmer morning this morning, Tobi and I enjoyed a nice brief flashlit walk. I’m starting the listening day off with a 24 bit by RVG lp fascimile disc from Japan, Horace Silver “The Stylings of Silver.” I really like the Japanese 24 bit by RVG series, on my system they sound very good. Great band on this one, and the bassist and drummer really propel it along. Bass – Teddy Kotick Drums – Louis Hayes Piano – Horace Silver Tenor Saxophone – Hank Mobley Trumpet – Art Farmer Recorded on May 8, 1957. \

Back to the Chet Baker box set, disc 4, an all French trio behind Chet with Raymond Fol at the piano. This is beautiful music, reminding me at times of the “Lift to the Scaffold” recording by Miles Davis. Chet Baker “In Paris: The Complete 1955-1956 Barclay Sessions”

I found I wanted to hear some Art Hodes, and sought out this Jazzology LP in the shelves. He was such an interesting player. I think the idea came into my head as two days ago going through books from the storage unit I came across his “Selections from the Gutter.” 400×300 29.8 KB 588×612 28.2 KB 300×439 19.2 KB

Now on to disc 3, with Gustin on piano. Chet Baker “In Paris: The Complete 1955-1956 Barclay Sessions”

COLD this morning. I should have put on a jacket when we went out. . . and didn’t. . .but it was nice to feel the temperature. Starting off with disc 10 of the Grateful Dead “Summer Magic 1985” box set. Halfway through, and my favorite track so far is “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue.” 1024×1024 249 KB Followed by disc 1 and 2 of this box set, which had been in storage way too long! This material with Twardzik is so good. The discs are short though, as each disc includes one session. Chet Baker “In Paris: The Complete 1955-1956 Barclay Sessions”

Now another favorite Cassandra Wilson, “Belly of the Sun” Blue Note cd The whole album is great but I really like the one two punch of “Darkness on the Delta” and then “Waters of March.” “Darkness” I only really knew from Monk and it was great to hear the words on the first listen I had to this cd 24 years or so.
