"Classic Bobby Hutcherson Blue Note Sessions 1963 – 1970" Mosaic Records, now playing disc 2.

Some heavy rain this morning! It was a hot night and I got up briefly at 3 but was able to convice Fiona the dachshund to let me go back to sleep. Starting off with a collection that it dawned on me that I needed and this first disc is killer! Grateful Dead “30 Trips Around the Sun: The Definitive Live Story 1965–1995” cd 1 of 4. I never did try to get the full 80 cd set. . . affectionately known as “the porch crusher”. . . but I wish I had made the effort.

I can tell you already that imo in my system the albums "The Kicker" and "Dialog" sound better here than on US cd releases. A Japanese SHM-CD version of "Dialog" sounds a little different but very good as well. I think that it will turn out that this set has sound quality on top of or equal to any previous issues. . . I'll try to remember to update you as I get further into this set over the following days.

Just arrived: "Classic Bobby Hutcherson Blue Note Sessions 1963 – 1970" Mosaic Records, now playing disc 1 https://www.mosaicrecords.com/product/bobby-hutcherson-limited-edition-set/

It comes from the archive of Wayne's live recordings, with his personal involvement with the production in his final months. I pre-ordered.

Another cool morning. With some rain. Hope they keep coming! Right now, starting the day off wtih some swinging Mr. T and wife. Stanley Turrentine “Let it Go” Impulse Japan SHM-CD Bass – Ron Carter Drums – Mack Simpkins Organ – Shirley Scott Tenor Saxophone – Stanley Turrentine

Mabuta “Welcome to this World” Impartmaint Inc. Japan cd Interesting “fusion” from South Africa, 2017

Duke Ellington “Newport 1958” Mosaic Records cd This Mosaic Single release combines live material with mono studio material. Some wonderful music! Some great Gonsalves!

I finally watched "American Fiction." Glad I did.

There was no need for the AC unit nor fans last night–and two humans and one dog were very happy about that! A bit muggy this morning but nice! Starting the day off with two albums from this two cd set, “Conception: the Gift of Love” and “Un Poco Loco,” both Columbia releases.

I got a notice from Mosaic that a shipping label has been created for my Hutcherson set.

Robert Parker/Jazz Classics in Digital Stereo “Duke Ellington – Swing 1930 To 1938” cd I found where I had placed about 18 of these “Digital Stereo” re-workings of classic earlier jazz and chose this one to listen to today. They are fun, some better to listen to than others, but the track choices are interesting. [IMG]600×600 92.7 KB [IMG]600×750 17.1 KB
