Not cold this morning, but quite cool, especially with the heavy dew. A REAL relief up here in the listening room that has been stuffy too long. Starting off with a new arrival: Bob Dylan “The1974 Live Recordings” Columbia 27 cd box set, disc 1

It's a good one! I had this on cassette and transferred to cdr for a long time, part of trading years ago with Danny D'Imperio. Sounds better on this Fresh Sounds release.

Dave Holland Big Band “What Goes Around” ECM cd

Fiona the dachshund has decided that this is the first COLD morning. Feels welcome to me! Starting off with Tina Brooks "Minor Move" Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD. I wish they had used the original Japanese cover. But this sure sounds better than the last release!

Pete Jolly “Little Bird” Ava Records/Muzak Records Japan cd Some tracks trio, with Chuck Berghofer (bass), Larry Bunker (drums); some tracks with Howard Roberts (guitar), Kenny Hume (percussion) added

Yes. . . I just "saved" 22 dollars on the Dylan 1974 Live set.

The rain stopped! Fiona is happy. She is so low to the ground. . . that wet grass is a tickling wet disadvantage. Man the system sounds GREAT!
