Good news!

I find this different from his Impulse material in a way that you would likely favor. Add that to your thinking mix!

Looking forward to those notes Mark. I have about half or more of this already, but I pre-ordered--great music imo.

IMO it's among her best work. In parts very Mingus like.

Duke Ellington “1941” Smithsonian Collection LP 1 Re-listening to LP 1 of this excellent 2 LP set. These Smithsonian Collection Ellington sets always have sounded so good and transported me into a great listening world. 300×302 20.8 KB

Cold start to the morning, but I’m getting used to that. Other parts of the nation are having heat waves. . . . Starting off with Miles Davis “Miles '54 (The Prestige Recordings)” 2 cd set, disc 1 This is my second copy of this set as my first copy had a defective track. I have this material several other times elsewhere but I really enjoy the Paul Blackmore transfers Concord has been using, they sound excellent. The '55 recording set is due out soon.

Lucinda and I watched these nine episodes this weekend--was enjoyable. "Your Friends and Neighbors" Apple TV+

I had pulled out some Kenton discs yesterday to go through this week. Starting off with "Kenton's West Side Story" Capitol cd

Yes, it's one of my favorites of the Kentons. I pulled a few others to listen to soon. . . been awhile since I have spun some Stan.

Stan Kenton “Adventures in Blues” Capitol cd 220×220 20.1 KB

It is COLD today, for May. My listening schedule has been morphing lately as with the passing of my dog I’ve been waking up later and my wife has been waking up earlier and I don’t now generally get to dive into listening first thing. Today we got to meet with one of Lucinda’s sisters and brother-in-law who live about 90 minutes away here locally for lunch, which was really nice. Lucinda’s sister Ann has been blind about 20 years and her husband Chris is the role model of a loving spouse and takes incredible care of her while also having a demanding job. I love these people. Now I’m finally in front of the main system. I started off with Keith Jarrett “New Vienna” ECM cd and moving on to Tom Harrell “Moving Picture” High Note cd

I really liked her in this series that I thought was pretty darned good. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485842/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_27

I don't think that way, not in agreement, at least in thinking it's great that it works that way. 'S alright. You be you.

Still feel the same way. If anything that is what is NOT great in the art world. IMO.

Dave Burrell “High Won, High Two” Freedom/Muzak lp facsimile cd A two LP set on one cd. Very interesting sessions that would sound better if a better piano had been utilized. Bass – Sirone (Norris Jones)* Drums – Bobby Kapp, or Sunny Murray Liner Notes – Stanley Crouch Piano – Dave Burrell Tambourine – Pharoah Sanders 200×200 64.8 KB

No, I don't feel that is what's great.

We're all different. I feel very differently than you do, but that's what's great about the world of art. I'm also done for now.

Joel Ross “Who Are You?” Blue Note cd I love this one. Actually, I love all his leader dates.
