“Nat King Cole at the Blue Note Chicago” cd 2 This was an RSD release on LP and cd but is coming out next month on both formats in a more permanent edition. Quite nice performances and sound is decent.

Emily Remler “Retrospective, Volume 1–Standards” Concord cd Her vibe is a great way to start a day. “How Insensitive” with Coryell here is lovely.

Billie Holiday "All or Nothing at All" Verve LP

I'll be prepared to feel tiresome then as it was Allhof I picked up.

Yes, McRae, Ronnell Bright and Ray Bryant alternate on the piano chair on this LP--one session is Carmen or Ronnell, the other session Ray. Ike Isaacs and Specs Wright are the drummer and bassist.

I picked one up when you posted it here. I haven't read it yet. Right now A. A. Fair "Some Women Won't Wait"

Carmen McRae “After Glow” Decca LP Carmen plays piano herself on several tracks here.

Miles Davis “My Funny Valentine” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 2023

Mal Waldron Steve Lacy “The Mighty Warriors” Elemental Music 2 cd set, disc 1 700×700 99.8 KB

Glad you are feeling better, hope that your wife has a shorter still period of discomfort.

Joel Ross “King Maker” Blue Note cd One of my favorite cds of this century.

Bud is supposedly pictured in the left. Do you feel that is not Bud? I've blown the picture up and it certainly looks like Bud.

Javon Jackson “Expression” Smoke Sessions cd Orrin Evans! It’s cold here this morning but he’s warming me up. I’ve grown to love his playing.

Susannah McCorkle “The People You Never get to Love” cd

Absolutely. So much sadness before . . .and after. . . the vaccines. I lost neighbors and indirectly my father.

Get well soon! Second time. . .that's a big bummer! Hopefully the last.

Kenny Barron “Beyond this Place”

There are two box sets, I have them both.

Emily Remler “Firefly” Concord cd I wish someone would assemble all her Concord work into a cd box set. Come on! This disc reminds me what great, tasteful drummer Jake Hanna was.

Marisa Monte “Rose and Charcoal” cd One of my favorite of hers. Up early as ye olde dog was feeling a bit wonky and wanted to tour the back yard earlier than usual. Will try to go back to sleep again in a bit. This disc sounds really good the way the system is set up lately.

I enjoyed that one.

Essence All Stars “Organic Groove” Hip Bop cd. Really nice grooving music and great relaxed sound. Joey DeFrancesco and Lonnie Smith on organ, Idris Muhammad on drums.

I've never become a French press fan. . . just doesn't do it for me. But I can see the appeal. I've become addicted to organic Mexican coffee, been drinking it for nearly 20 years now daily. Love the stuff!
