Right now, something different. . . .the first spin of the 2023 Blu-Spec CD2 Miles Davis “Agharta,” disc 1
The system is astonishingly good lately and this disc sounds wonderful.
Okay, she finally settled down. I’m enjoying the cool morning while it lasts. Should stay fairly cool, mid-seventies, today. . . but plenty of rain expected.
Shifting to Big Blue, Bob Dylan, “The Cutting Edge” disc 5.
“I’m in the kitchen with the tombstone blues.” Love take 1.
Jefferson Airplane “Volunteers” RCA/Culture Factory cd
"HANDS AGAINST THE WALL!"
A blast from the past for me. … I used to really get into the 'Plane. People rag on the Culture Factory releases perhaps with good reason, but I have all their Airplane, Hot Tuna, and Quicksilver releases and I confess that at the right volume level these cds bring me back to the sound of my late night stereo sessions of the 'seventies and early 'eighties.
Lots of Kenny singing. . . perhaps not everyone’s cup of tea, but his playing here is worth the listening indeed.
Kenny Burrell “Weaver of Dreams” Sony cd
800×800 53.1 KB
Kenny Burrell – guitar, vocals
Bobby Jaspar – tenor saxophone
Tommy Flanagan – piano
Joe Benjamin, Wendell Marshall – bass
Bill English, Bobby Donaldson – drums
Up early again. . . and it’s not as cool as I’d like it to be.
Haven’t spun any of the Herbie Nichols Project releases in a long spell. Overdue!
This one may be my favorite.
Herbie Nichols Project “Strange City”
Doug Watkins "Watkins At Large” Transition/TOCJ “RVG Special Edition” 24 Bit remastered lp facsimile paper sleeve edition
What a group, and this sounds great.
Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Kenny Burrell, Duke Jordan, Doug Watkins, Art Taylor
Enjoying another cool morning–got to sleep in a bit more as well, a good thing.
Starting off with Marcos Ariel “Alone with Jobim,” a great solo piano disc.
