Charles Mingus “Changes One” Atlantic cd from this box set 604×596 46.8 KB

“Jazz Celebration: A Tribute To Carl Jefferson” Concord Records 4 cd set, disc 2

Moacir Santos “Ouro Negro” disc 1

Yes, I never had the 1967 LP. . . I had this at first in the 2 LP set with the Tokyo concert. That was a dynamite one-two punch when it was released.

I put in the "mono" disc 1 of the "Berlin" 2 cd set just to hear "Stella by Starlight" which was not included on the second disc. This is a phenomenal "Stella." Then. . . . Moacir Santos “Ouro Negro” disc 2 I just love this 2 cd set and never play it often enough.

A really cool morning! Fall is in the air, though 80 degrees are due later this week. The kitchen cabinets will be finished today. . . and then the long wait for the countertops begins. Starting off with an old favorite in a new “light”–Miles Davis “Miles in Berlin” Blu-Spec CD2, disc 2 (the original German “stereo” release remastered) The only drawback really is that this does not have the delightful “Stella by Starlight” released later.

Chick Corea + Origin “A Week at the Blue Note” disc 6

Johnny Griffin "The Little Giant" Riverside Records/JVC XRCD Johnny Griffin, tenor saxophone Blue Mitchell, trumpet Julian Priester, trombone Wynton Kelly, piano Sam Jones, bass Albert "Tootie" Heath, drums

Yes, I saw elsewhere that he was performing that song on the soundtrack. I always think of Ella Fitzgerald or Ella Mae Morse when I think of that song, but I bet Bob does it well. Makes me hope for another studio album.

John Coltrane “The Heavyweight Champion” cd 6

It’s cool again! Up earlier than I’d like but that’s my new routine with the old dog. Bobby Hutcherson “Stick Up!” via the new Mosaic set.

I started as a teenager as well. I was given three jazz LPs by a Peace Corps volunteer that my Dad was the Director of when we were living in Swaziland (Eswatini now). When my Dad was back in DC briefly I had him pick up a few LPs for me with my "allowance" dollars. Locally in one of the shops I found a few LPs to buy, notably the first Chicago and the second Blood, Sweat and Tears. Then when we returned to the US I found "Filles De Kilamanjaro," "In A Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew" in the library and i a few months I had found my own copies of these. . . and my record buying began and continued pretty much into the early 'eighties. At that time I was buying cassettes and cds and sold some of my best LPs to a shop and to a few individuals who made me what seemed crazy offers. I concentrated on cds going forward, but was always buying an LP here or there that was not on cd.

It’s fascinating listening to a genius working it out in the studio with some difficulty but good humor. Bob Dylan “The Cutting Edge–Collector’s Edition” disc 5

Another early morning up with the old dog. Cool, after a warm night. Starting off with a wondeful recording. Bill Charlap “Play George Gershwin–The American Soul” Blue Note cd

Yes, I'm enjoying it a lot.
