Some of my favorite music. Duke Ellington “1938” Smithsonian Collection LP

Eliane Elias “Dance of Time” Concord cd An album of samba jazz, her 25th album as a leader!

Another chill pill. Chet Baker “Chet” Keepnews Collection cd

590×599 66.1 KB Gerald Clayton “Bells on Sand” Blue Note Well, this is a chill pill.

Zoot Sims and Bucky Pizzarelli “Nirvanna” Groove Merchant/Solid Records Japan cd Zoot Sims – tenor saxophone Bucky Pizzarelli – guitar Milt Hinton – bass Buddy Rich – drums Stan Kay – drums (One track, while Buddy sings)

Wayne Escoffery “Vortex” Sunnyside cd A little energy to start the pre-dawn morning.

I love Helen Folasade Adu. What a beautiful person and what a voice. . . with that special Nigerian sonority within as well. I have a hard time listening to her now as her music was the soundtrack to the euphoric five years I had with the "one that got away."

I've pre-ordered the cd set--I really enjoy Everett Barksdale's playing and this should be great.

Cal Tjader and Charlie Byrd “Tambu” Concord cd

Often I am tempted to buy these Japanese reissues for sonic upgrade reasons. For example I bought all the Basie Roulette reissues from Warner Japan and felt they were upgrades from the Mosaic versions. But listening to the Jamal Mosaic. . . the sound is such an improvement from Atlantic LPs or cds I had of the material and so satisfying to listen to that I'm not going to purchase any of these new Japanese reissues. Cover reproduction means little to me, that's not a motivating factor. I love the Mosaic pictorial presentations.

Fabiano Do Nascimento “Mundo Solo” cd 600×600 48.2 KB Amazing guitarist. Followed by Harish Raghavan “Calls for Action” cd 700×618 91.3 KB

Larry Willis “Inner Crisis” Groove Merchant/Solid Records Japan cd Bass – Eddie Gomez, Roderick Gaskin Composed By, Electric Piano, Piano [Acoustic] – Larry Willis Drums – Al Foster, Warren Benbow Guitar – Roland Prince Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone – Harold Vick Trombone – Dave Bargeron

This one again. A brilliant fusion of jazz and classical imo. Ethan Philion “Meditations on Mingus”

Tom Harrell “Time’s Mirror” RCA cd This is a 1999 Grammy nominated big band session that really delivers.

I ordered from https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/ Ships via Royal Mail.

Hamilton De Holanda Brasilianos 2

Well, it's real sugar, cane sugar, not corn syrup. And it's spicy. This was my father's favorite soft drink. Lucinda and I have a root beer float with vanilla ice cream at least once a week, in honor of my family's tradition--that was our celebratory and New Year's drink--we're not "drinkers." I like their Cream Soda and Black Cherry Soda as well. They used to offer Birch Beer, which is excellent, but they no longer manufacture it.

YaY!

This one again. Sound so good.

Los Angeles Jazz Orchestra Unlimited with Kenny Burrell “Unlimited 1 (Live at Catalina’s)” High Note cd

No argument from me.
