Blossom Dearie “Discover Who I Am: The Fontana Years 1966 - 1970,” 2 cd [SHM-CD] My favorite of all the material in the box set.

Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” Columbia 70s pressing 2 LP, LP 1 My first purchase of this music probably over fifty years ago. Sounding like the familiar warm blanket of amazement it always does.

Right now. . . really enjoying the “Black Jazz” label sound here. . . fits my mood this morning. Roland Haynes “2nd Wave” Black Jazz cd 640×633 148 KB Bass – Henry Franklin Drums – Carl Burnett Keyboards – Kirk Lightsey Keyboards, Written-By, Arranged By – Roland Haynes Producer, Liner Notes – Gene Russell This is making me want to play “Bitches Brew”. . . .

I know. I have that one too.

John Gunther’s Axis Mundi “Above Now Below” CMP cd

Bob Dylan & the Band “The 1974 Live Recordings” Columbia 27 cd box set, disc 3

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.
