"Dark Magus" is the live electric Miles I just don't listen to much. Doesn't do it for me! Right now--the OPPOSITE of Dark Magus! Easing into a warm, humid morning (though it is supposed to get deliciously cool today). A little stiff from painting the kitchen, but not too bad. . . . This is definitely EASY listening, sounding very much like the Maestro’s own last recordings–nice sound and textures. Brazilian Tropical Orchestra & Singers “Music Of Antonio Carlos Jobim”

Tania Maria “Olha Quem Chega” Japan cd Followed by Renee Rosnes “Kinds of Love” Smoke Sessions cd 1000×1000 470 KB

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/
