Glad to see this has a review and attention. I am really enjoying the two volumes. Great work Allen!

Sam Noto has a few excellent releases on Xanadu, he was a very decent player. I think "True Blue" and "Silver Blue" are very satisfying listens--all players are excellent and they are good bebop jam records. Now Playing: Grateful Dead “Friend of the Devils: April 1978” 2024 box set, first show Excellent sound!

My dachshund listening partner is sleepy this morning. After a day of rain there's a still, cool feel to this morning and sitting in front of the stereo is a great way to start the day. Now playing Disc 1, Xanadu 2 cd set. Al Cohn/Dexter Gordon "True Blue & Silver Blue"

Holiday and Faulkner

Robert Hunter “Tales of the Great Rum Runners” Deluxe Edition Rhino cd, disc 1

Rain! Very welcome by all the outside world, but Fiona the dachshund is not very happy about it. . . . Don Menza/Pete Magadini “Live At Claudio’s” Sackville cd

Neil Young “Tuscaloosa” Reprise cd This is sortof an alternate “Time Fades Away”. . . recorded on the same tour. This tour was the only one that I ever attended of Young’s.

Wouldn't be a bad idea. I'd suggest PM'g or emailing Allen.

Allen Lowe “Louis Armstrong’s America Volume 1” disc 2 Allen Lowe Louis Armstrong's America Vol 1 & 2 — Allen Lowe

It’s been too long since I spun a cd by the maestro. This is one of my favorites. Andy Bey “Ballads, Blues & Bey” Evidence cd

Jerry Gonzalez & Miguel Blanco Big Band “A Tribute to the Fort Apache Band” CDBaby cd

Rigmor Gustafsson and the Jacky Terrasson Trio “Close to You–Celebrating Dionne Warwick” Act cd Japan

The Rich Corpolongo Quartet “Smile” Rich on multiple reeds with Larry Luchowski on piano, Eric Hochberg on bass, and Michael Raynor on drums All originals. Reminds me of Atlantic and early Impulse Trane.

A muggy morning! The system is all warmed up and sounding great. Jason Roebke Octet “High/Red/Center” Delmark cd with Greg Ward, Jason Adasiewicz, Jason Roebke, Jason Stein, Jeb Bishop, Josh Berman, Keefe Jackson, Mike Reed

Yes, different, non RVG, non McMaster mastering--mastered by Kevin Reeves. I like the RVGS (I have kept US and Japanese versions) AND I like this 2 cd set which sounds very good as well.

I think the RVG cds sound really darned good on all the Monk and Monk/Jackson material. Possibly the very best digital sound of the Monk led sessions is on this two cd set: https://www.discogs.com/release/6474196-Thelonious-Monk-Round-Midnight-The-Complete-Blue-Note-Singles-1947-1952

Jim Cooper "Tough Town" Delmark cd With Ira Sullivan on tenor!

Re-listening to this one. So good, there is so much here. Allen Lowe "Louis Armstrong's America Volume 1" https://allenlowe.com/louis-armstrongs-america

Allen Lowe “Louis Armstrong’s America Volume 1” Got this and Volume 2 in the mail from Allen, pre-ordered it some months back. It’s as wild as I thought it would be and rather thought-provoking. Allen Lowe Louis Armstrong's America Vol 1 & 2 — Allen Lowe

Ife I think was recorded in '72. All the items in "Big Fun" were recorded between '69 and '72. It is absolutely essential to my jazz library, fantastic music. You should check it out.
