Muggy. This may be the last day of kitchen construction for a while, we’ll see how much this crew gets accomplished. After their work, it will be a wait for the countertop people. . . and maybe my wife will relax a bit. She’s a ball of nerves and excitement! Starting off with Karin Krog & Steve Kuhn “Together Again” Grappa/Muzak Japan cd I may have never heard better playing from Kuhn. Gloriously recorded.

That is Quincy Jones.

1m Miles Davis “The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965” Sony/Tower Records SACD box set, disc 3 I’ll never tire of the music in this set. And this edition sounds really good. (I also have the Sony gold cd “Teo Macero” edition and enjoy its sound).

Series finale of EVIL. I am really going to miss that show.

I haven't delved into this yet, but it has arrived and just from the physical object itself in hand I know it will be magnificent.

"Welcome to the Club" has lyrics written by Noel Sherman who also wrote the lyrics to "Ramblin' Rose."

"Another Dimension" was one of the first records that I ever owned. Cool that Ron Carter was in my jazz listening from the beginning.

"Bobby Gordon Plays Bing" Arbors Jazz cd I love Gordon's clarinet playing, and these cats really know how to get deep into these jazz styles of the past.

My kitchen remodel physically begins this morning, I'm squeezing this in while I can on this stuffy morning. Fiona the dachshund has settled down for a nap before all the excitement begins. Bill Charlap "Stardust" Blue Note cd A beautiful album. Tony Bennett is singing right now. . . wonderfully. Sound is great as well. Oddly I bought this used as "Plays George Gerswin: the Soul of America" which is the jewel case I got. . . with the Stardust cd within. Still, a great cd!

Son Brasil “Tudo Joia” A Chicago group doing Brazilian music, and very well.
