The Brazilian version. . . . Released elsewhere as This is like classical music to me, and if there were more classical music somewhat like this I'd listen to even more classical music. Jobim at a peak of his creativity showcasing wonderful compositions with the amazing arranging and orchestrations of Claus Ogerman. Jobim strutting his stuff in his finest livery. Diego Oivas gets it right, here: Tom Jobim: Matita Perê (1973) – FOND/SOUND

Eliane Elias “Dance of Time” Concord cd.

Welcome back, welcome back . . . welcome back.

I know of it and know his association goes bak five decades--but I have not found a copy I can afford of their release together. Edit to add: I decided to pay more than I wanted to for a cd copy.

More in this series are due out the end of the month. Great stuff, reissued expertly. Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra: Live At I.U.C.C. 11/26/1978

Starting the day off with the second cd I’ve bought of Nelson Angelo. This guy captivates me. He has an amazing arranging gift and he has more than 50 years of experience singing and writing. And . . . he retains a goofiness that is very endearing alongside his mastery. I love his guitar playing! Nelson Angelo “Times Square”

Good news, thanks for sharing.

Seamus Blake "Guardians of the Heart Machine"

Terri Lynne Carrington “Money Jungle – Provocative in Blue” GrooveJazz Media A re-interpretation of the Ellington-Mingus-Roach masterpiece with added instrumentation and taped voices.

A not typical Joyce album–here a batch of jazz standards with her husband Tutti on drums and Helio Alves on piano. Great music for the glistening snow outside and the still quiet of the mornning. Joyce Moreno “Cool” Far Out Recordings cd

"Jews of the Wild West." Excellent PBS documentary.

The Complete Alain Jean-Marie Biguine Reflections, disc 2

I have to admit that is true for me too. My favorite of his that I have heard is the live 2 cd set. I really really enjoy the playing of the trio backing him, his playing not so much.

Starting the day off with some Neil Swainson Quintet featuring Joe Henderson, “49th Parallel” cd

Roberto Grilli “1962” A session with some great players: Mark Turner, Kevin Hayes, Joe Martin, Eric Harland.

“Albare plays Jobim–A Tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim” I could probably do with fewer orchestration, but I can tune them out for the most part. Nice interpretations on Les Paul guitar.

Jean-Michel Proust "To Barney, Vol. 1" I think anyone interested in jazz would love the two volumes Proust has put out honoring the strong influence Barney Wilen has had on his art, and the sound is stunningly good.

It was 1 F this morning. Now it's 7 F. At least the high wind of last week and the start of the week seems to have ceased.

This is a two disc set, one Blu-ray Audio, one SACD. I can’t play the Blu-ray Audio in my system at the moment, though it sounds fantastic. (2L stuff always does). The SACD also sounds fantastic and is in play right now. There is Beethoven here. . . some great Schubert as well.

Miles Davis “Agharta” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 2023 Have to say this sounds great! Still thinking of MLK and for some reason this recording aids that.
