On to an LP. . . . Wini Brown With Milt Jackson “Miss Brown For You” Savoy Jazz LP This lp includes National Records material including previously unreleased material by a singer from the Lionel Hampton band with excellent backing. LP sounds a tiny bit off-center.

Another cool morning and it will stay that way today. Nice! Starting off with a very interesting cd that draws me right in. Patricia Brennan “More Touch” Pyroclastic cd 600×600 86.8 KB

Ruby Braff / George Barnes Quartet “Live at the New School” Chiaroscuro Records cd

Grateful Dead "Friend of the Devils, April 1978 Fourth show, disc 2 SEVENTEEN years ago today we lost my first wife, Helen Elizabeth Haggerty, who was a brilliant and loyal and kind and compassionate woman. Thinking of her today, as I do every day. She would have loved the sylvan life I have now, and this cool autumn morning. She learned to like the Grateful Dead over time, I played them enough and they grew on her. This box set startles me with its excellent sound.
