Saw Willie Mays play at Connie Mack Stadium when I was a lad. We lived about six blocks from the Stadium, but I only went a few times as sports was just not a thing in our family.

Wow! I haven't looked at or listened to that disc in that box set in a long time (I have two LP and two cd versions of "Indigos" outside this box). Should fix that. And "The Sky Fell Down" was included on the original mono LP release.

I don't stream so I'm not sure but I've noticed a few things like this, compilations with some selections that seem ringers.

Tom Harrell “Sail Away” Contemporary cd Tom Harrell continues to amaze me with the variety of his writing and arranging and the personal vision of his music.

I think that those three are earlier tracks, from '45, '52 and '57 respectively, added to that streaming version. I don't know if they match up to a cd reissue version, haven't seen one.

Hot last night. . . we didn’t sleep as well as we’d like. Have to get used to it! Starting off with Theo Hill “Interstellar Adventures” Acoustic Bass, Electric Bass – Rashaan Carter Drums, Percussion – Rudy Royston Piano, Electric Piano – Theo Hill

 Teddy Charles Quartet "Live at the Verona Jazz Jestival 1988" Soul Note.cd' Bass – Ray Drummond Drums – Tony Reedus Piano – Harold Danko Vibraphone – Teddy Charles

Took a while to get cool last night! But it is pleasant now. I’ll enjoy the cool while I can–it is due to be scorching this week. Starting off with a box set I pulled from the back row of one shelf. The Complete Riverside Recordings of Bill Evans, cd 4 Trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, and part of the Quartet with Cannonball Adderley, Percy Heath and Connie Kay. Early digital, remastered by George Horn, sounding quite nice.

I'm nearing 69. . . I've had conversations of this nature with my wife. I only listen to physical media, so I'm inclined to just hang on to it all as long as I can. It seems if I don't take care of my collection big dumpsters will be in our driveway and pitching will begin. I'm undecided what is my best course of action or inaction.

Monday Michiru “Tomorrow’s Sunrise” remixes from “Optimista” cd Just talked with my brother Les and the three stents are doing well and he sounded tired but GOOD. He will probably be going home tomorrow. His wife is a surgical nurse. . . he'll be in good hands. What a relief.

Familia Jobim “Banda Nova” Among the most soothing music in my arsenal.
