The big cold is on its way. What was melting the last few days will be ice. I’m going to get supplies and hunker down!
Starting off with a great LP . . . Monk with Thad Jones, Charlie Rouse, Sam Jones and Art Taylor.
Thelonious Monk “5 by Monk by 5” Riverside/Analogue Productions LP, from the “Tenors” box set (repress)
The last time I got to really immerse myself in this release it was disc 1.
Now disc 2,

Teagarden always starts a day off well.
Jack Teagarden “Thnk Well of Me” Verve stereo LP
This is helping the cold to be more acceptable. I just am so bonded to this music. Willard Robinson was such an intriguing writer of music.

Duke Ellington “Jazz Party” Columbia mono LP
I have a stereo cd or two but this mono Lp slays them. One of these days I’ll get a stereo LP.
Such an amazing album!
Starting a cold morning with side 1 of this monser album again. So much history with this release for me, and I just sink into all the little details that the LP provides.
Weather Report “Sweetnighter” Columbia LP
Weather Report “Sweetnighter” Columbia LP
This LP always tells me a lot about my system. What it is telling me today is good things.
Mr. White and Mr. Vitous on bass are really dishing it out!
12 degrees and snow. Still winter! A big deer in the back yard did not seem to mind. I didn’t stay out long though. . . wow. . . the cold just sits on your skin and takes root.
Starting off with some very old, very dear music.
Miles Davis “Big Fun” Columbia 2 LP, “Ife”
Sounding excellent with the new upgrade to the Rega turntable setup.
