It comes from the archive of Wayne's live recordings, with his personal involvement with the production in his final months. I pre-ordered.

Another cool morning. With some rain. Hope they keep coming! Right now, starting the day off wtih some swinging Mr. T and wife. Stanley Turrentine “Let it Go” Impulse Japan SHM-CD Bass – Ron Carter Drums – Mack Simpkins Organ – Shirley Scott Tenor Saxophone – Stanley Turrentine

Mabuta “Welcome to this World” Impartmaint Inc. Japan cd Interesting “fusion” from South Africa, 2017

Duke Ellington “Newport 1958” Mosaic Records cd This Mosaic Single release combines live material with mono studio material. Some wonderful music! Some great Gonsalves!

I finally watched "American Fiction." Glad I did.

There was no need for the AC unit nor fans last night–and two humans and one dog were very happy about that! A bit muggy this morning but nice! Starting the day off with two albums from this two cd set, “Conception: the Gift of Love” and “Un Poco Loco,” both Columbia releases.

I got a notice from Mosaic that a shipping label has been created for my Hutcherson set.

Bobby Hutcherson “Highway One” Columbia/Beat Goes On cd [IMG]600×600 125 KB

Bill Evans “Tales–Live in Copenhagen 1964” Elemental Music cd 600×600 49.7 KB

Robert Parker/Jazz Classics in Digital Stereo “Duke Ellington – Swing 1930 To 1938” cd I found where I had placed about 18 of these “Digital Stereo” re-workings of classic earlier jazz and chose this one to listen to today. They are fun, some better to listen to than others, but the track choices are interesting. [IMG]600×600 92.7 KB [IMG]600×750 17.1 KB

Louis Armstrong “Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson +4” Universal Japan UHQCD Bobbah doo vay!

So sorry to read this! I hope that you will be on the other side of this as soon as possible.

Monday Michiru and Toshiko Akiyoshi “Jazz Conversations, The Other Side of Monday Michiru” A mother and daughter collaboration for the ages.

I think San Francisco is a great album--glad it is included.

Fascinating box set for those who have been fascinated by Ziggy and the Spiders. David Bowie “Rock 'n Roll Star” 5 cd and 1 Blu-ray box set. cd 1

This month when I turn on my stereo in the morning it’s an exciting first few minutes as the sound struts out. The system has never sounded better! Music is a thrilling component of the day. Right now “Duke Ellington in the Uncommon Market” OJC cd 893×768 87 KB Not your typical Ellington concert (actually excerpts of three concerts, one in Sweden, one in Italy, and one in France) of rarely played material. Waking my brain up!

Great news Doug!

Andrew Hill “Passing Ships” Blue Note Tone Poet LP 1

On the Hoffman board there have been reports of shipping notices received. . . . I'm eagerly awaiting mine, but I always seem to get one after others have received the set or never get one and receive the set later than others. I think it may be because I pre-pay with PayPal.

Thelonious Monk “Brilliant Corners” Analogue Productions LP

Grateful Dead “Blues for Allah” LP

Santana “Welcome” Columbia LP

Earl Coleman “There’s Something About An Old Love” Xanadu LP Ted Dunbar is a highlight here as he always is.
