I don't even know where it is at the moment. I'm glad you love it. I don't love it, don't hate it.

I have this on cd. Meh.

Miles Davis- April 9, 1970 Fillmore West, San Francisco

Frankie Trumbauer and his Orchestra 1936-1946" Chronogical Classics cd

Dexter Gordon “Our Man in Paris” Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG lp facsimile cd

Jefferson Airplane “Volunteers” RCA/Culture Factory cd "HANDS AGAINST THE WALL!" A blast from the past for me. … I used to really get into the 'Plane. People rag on the Culture Factory releases perhaps with good reason, but I have all their Airplane, Hot Tuna, and Quicksilver releases and I confess that at the right volume level these cds bring me back to the sound of my late night stereo sessions of the 'seventies and early 'eighties.

Gary Peacock Trio “Eastward” Sony HiFiCD Gary Peacock (bass) Masaaki Kikuchi (piano) Hiroshi Murakami (drums) Man, he was a master player and a deep musical mind. And this is a very interesting recording. In the Keith Jarrett Trio “exploratory mode” tradition.
