Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers “Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World Volume 2” Blue Note Japan 24 Bit by RVG lp facsimile cd

Back to some music after tasks. The New Elvin Jones Trio “Puttin’ it Together” Blue Note Japan 24 Bit by RVG lp facsimile cd Each time I spin this one I like it more. It went from “meh” years ago to “wow” today over the years.

And now for something completely different. Marisa Monte - Barulhinho Bom cd

MIles Davis “Seven Steps to Heaven” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 Starting the day with very familiar music that eases me in.

Ike Quebec “Bossa Nova Soul Samba” Blue Note Japan 24 Bit by RVG lp facsimile cd I love this session so much. I discovered today that I have TWO copies of this 24 Bit by RVG, and I know I have another Japanese cd. One that I haven’t gotten that I might one day when I feel a big splurge possible is the Analogue Productions SACD which I bet sounds great. [IMG]600×600 50.4 KB

Tom Browne “Another Shade of Browne” Hip Bop cd

Jimmy Smith “The Sermon” Blue Note Japan 24 Bit by RVG LP facsimile cd

Just got an email back from them. The set was returned to them and they are mailing it out to me again. Good customer service!

It's easy for me to get tired of pop or rock music that I just sort of love. That one and Dark Side of the Moon I never need to hear again! My brother used to (and in a way still does) play the same music over and over for months. . . and then move on to another to obsess about. Currently he's nuts about Jason Isbell--will get his new album and play it incessantly til the next one arrives, rinse and repeat. My other brother is a jazz and classical music fan.

One of my brothers played that album so many times over and over I can just look at the cover and I'm good.

Paula Maya “Mar Da Minha”

Paul Quinichette “For Basie” OJC cd

I emailed them yesterday my situation. We'll see how and if they respond.

Yes, mine is AWOL. I've queried cafe otto, we'll see.

Antonio Neves - A Pegada Agora E Essa (The Sway Now) cd Neves plays drums and trombone. This is a wild cd.

Wayne Escoffery “Veneration–Live at Smoke” Savant cd

Just noticed that my order has UK in the address rather than United States. Could be why it has not been received.

We had spent two years in Ethiopia prior to that, which was a wonderful experience as well. But the three years at Waterford Kamhlaba were perhaps the most important in my life. I was the only American at the school (my siblings were too young to attend) and there were African, English, Indian and Portuguese students from a number of African countries, and the only drawback was that there were only about 12 girls amid 120 or so male students. I had the best education of my life and the best cultural and social experience of my life--it shaped me in important ways.

There NEVER was apartheid in Swaziland. The impetus of the creation of this school was anti-apartheid--it was originally built in the Republic of South Africa to enroll white and African students together, and was then banned and moved to Swaziland to be rebuilt in 1962. My family arrived the week that Swaziland gained its independence from the UK and we were the first American family to live there--my father was the first Director of their Peace Corps program.
