Grateful Dead “From Mars Hotel” Rhino 50th Anniversary reissue, disc 1
The 50th Anniversary reissue has arrived! The original album sounds amazing in this 3 cd edition and I bet the 2 cd of the live show does as well.
God bless the Plangent Process!
Finally cooled down upstairs here and I’m starting off with a disc I finally bought, listening to it for the second time, and really enjoying it.
Ryan Truesdell: “Centennial: Newly Discovered Works of Gil Evans” ArtistShare cd
Jerry Garcia Band “Jerry Live! Vol. 21” 2 cd set, cd 1
A great band, his '76-'77 band with Keith and Donna Godchaux, John Kahn and Ron Tutt. Jerry is playing a Travis Bean guitar here, not my favorite of his axes, but some great playing.
Dexter Gordon “The Montmartre Collection” Muzak 2 cd set Japan MZCB-1400, disc 2
I have had this material on LP and cd before and it has never sounded better than here.
Miles Davis “Sketches of Spain” Blu-Spec CD2 2023, mono disc
The mono Sketches is a different experience!

Mario Adnet “Jobim Jazz” Adventure Music cd
This one again to start the morning. Got to sleep in a bit more. . . Fiona the dachshund slept longer than usual.
Duke Ellington “Copenhagen 1958 (Bonus: After Hours 1950)” Storyville cd
Duke Ellington “Copenhagen 1958 (Bonus: After Hours 1950)” Storyville cd
Classic jazz done with Ellington style and grace. My kind of symphonies! It was a good night in Copenhagen, and the sound is decent.
