Stan Turrentine “Cherry” CTI Supreme Blu-Spec CD I’m definitely in the mood for this one! And it delivers. Milt Jackson is featured, and on occasion Cornell Dupree’s Telecaster steals the show.

George Benson “The Other Side of Abbey Road” A&M Universal Japan SHM-CD. This is an odd record. Has its moments!

Wayne Shorter “Adam’s Apple” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

No. I'll pre-order as soon as possible!

Enjoying the early morning cool while it lasts! (Almost said “and quiet” but it’s generally quiet here round the clock–so nice to have so few neighbors and all these lovely trees). Keith Jarrett “Sun Bear Concerts” disc 6, “Encores” (which were not included in the original LP box set).

Listening to this one again. In part because I was rudely interrupted by kitchen modding reality mid-way, and partly because there is a lot going on here--it's no wonder Dex and Jug are/have been/will be wiping sweat.

And his teaching ensures a long legacy for him. I'm exceedingly grateful for his tutelage of Tony Williams.

Dexter Gordon Gene Ammons “The Chase!” OJC cd Giving me my energy boost.

The Dave Liebman Group “Expansions Live” Whaling City 2 cd set, disc 1

Christian Scott “Live at Newport” Concord cd Hard to believe it has been fifteen years since this was released. One of these days I should watch the DVD that is included with this cd!

Miles Davis “1958 Miles” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 (2023)

Ha! Luckily no real need for a propane tank. A generator would be nice. Maybe if a ship ever comes in--we have no intentions of ever moving from our sylvan wonderland.

Eric Kloss “One, Two, Free” Muse/32Jazz cd

Having a generator is a good thing. We have vowed to get one if we have a repeat of a few weeks without power but since those two instances we haven't had a repeat (we live in a forested area and after trimming trees that caused those power outages the outages have halted. . . for now). The bad thing about power outages is that when there are really heavy wind storms or really heavy snow storms that cause the outage the power company takes care of the populated areas FIRST and our neighborhood is very sparsely housed and is taken care of. . . last. But overall the advantages of our neighborhood outweigh that limitation.

Andrew Hill “Passing Ships” Blue Note Tone Poet Series LP 700×700 61 KB

So glad you have power back! I know what that was like--a few winters ago lost power for 5 days. . . and then a month later for 7 days. . . no heat, no water. . . a bad time.

Jerry Vivino “Walkin’ With The Wazmo” Zoho cd

Gregory Groover Jr. "Negro Spiritual Songbook Vol. 2--The Message"

The artist/composer that I am closest to has told me he deliberately does not listen to certain work and persons because he feels his admiration and wonder for them would unduly influence his own work--and at this time he does not wish to be influenced as he had been in the past but to find his own music on his own.

These cds have sold.
