Just read that Sheila Jordan is in hospice. Sad news. I decided to spin this one.

Keith Jarrett “Life Between the Exit Signs” Vortex/Warner 24 bit cd Japan Keith Jarrett’s first session recorded as a leader, with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian.

Very compressed and slightly edgy sound.

Alexis Cole “Someday my Prince will Come” Venus cd 500×494 61 KB Quite nice. . . but alas, that Venus sound. Bass – Steve La Spina Drums – Matt Wilson Harmonica – Gregoire Maret Piano – Fred Hersch Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone, Flute – Don Braden Vocals – Alexis Cole

Grateful Dead 60th Anniversary box set, “Enjoying the Ride” Deer Creek Music Center, Noblesville, IN (7/15/89) disc 2

Joel Ross “Parable of the Poet” Blue Note cd Immanuel Wilkins on alto saxophone, Maria Grand on tenor saxophone, Marquis Hill on trumpet, Kalia Vandever on trombone, Sean Mason on piano, Rick Rosato on bass, Craig Weinrib on drums, and special guest Gabrielle Garo on flute. One of the best releases imo of this decade.

Going to be a hot one. Starting off with Gary Burton “Lofty Fake Anagram” RCA/Sony Japan cd From 1967, with a great quartet: Gary Burton vibes, Larry Coryell guitar, Steve Swallow bass and Bob Moses drums..

Something quite different. . . earlier Monday Michiru, "Maiden Voyage" Kitty Records cd There are a handful of women musicians I really do have a crush on. Monday is one. "Never ever give up, there is love!" This is a cool record. I love her lyrics here (there and everywhere).

I was thinking about a remark Thelonious Monk made to Johnny Griffin about his pants while they were on tour together in Europe, and that made me reach for a Griffin disc. Johnny Griffin “Night Lady” Philips Japan cd 300×300 17.7 KB

As I once overheard in church, "It's the angle of the dangle, due to the view from the pew."

Jangeun Bae Trio “JB” 170×170 4.74 KB 300×300 8.44 KB I’d forgotten about this one. It will show your system off and this gal can play piano! Great accompaniment as well. Modern music that pulls me in.

Looks to me as if this photo below was the source for the digital drawing. . . and the jaw area appears pretty much the same. . . .

Bob Dylan “The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 -1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Collector’s Edition” disc 15 “Oh Mama, can this really be the end?”

posted in wrong thread.

Lucy and I are finishing up Project Runway Season 6 (re-watch on her part) and the latest episode of the new season. I haven't been watching much TV otherwise. . . music has been reinforcing and sustaining me and I'm dedicating as much time as I can to that.

Miles Davis “Sorcerer” Mobile Fidelity Labs SACD OMG, Tony Williams! I remember being so inspired by his playing when I first discovered this album decades ago–this is a great showcase for his amazing talent. (And also a testament to the excellent engineering on this album). 500×500 90.6 KB 640×520 129 KB

A hot night, a stuffy morning. Summer is in full force here in NE Ohio. Grateful Dead 60th Anniversary box set, “Enjoying the Ride” Deer Creek Music Center, Noblesville, IN (7/15/89) disc 1

George Masso & Dan Barrett “Let’s Be Buddies” Arbors Jazz cd Close friendly jazz in excellent sound. Masso is a seasoned pro of decades of jazz leadership and a multi-instrumental master and Barrett is a virtuoso trombonist and can play a mean trumpet.

This is a really nice session. I like Ms Cole and One for All. Unfortunately this is on Venus cd. I just really don’t enjoy the Venus house mastering style. It’s not the worst of the lot but I wish it had been on a label with different mastering. I can futz around with gain in my system and it is nice, but I’d rather not futz. 299×300 8.3 KB

One of the 85th Anniversary UHQCD from Blue Note Japan mastered by Kevin Gray, Sonny Clark “My Conception.” Previous cover of this album: An all-star band. I keep hearing Bud Powell every time I listen to Sonny Clark.

Bob Dylan “The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Collector’s Edition” disc 14 Oh that sad-eyed lady of the lowlands!

One for All “Upward and Onward” Criss Cross cd

Dexter Gordon “Go” TOCJ 24 bit by RVG Blue Note Japan cd

Another disc from the Grateful Dead 60th Anniversary box set “Enjoying the Ride” Shoreline Ampitheatre, Mountain View, CA (5/12/91) disc 3

Zoot Sims & Bob Brookmeyer “Tonite’s Music Today/Whooeeee” Storyville/Muzak Japan 2 cd set, disc 2 Wow, these Muzak reissues sound so much better than any other version of the Storyville or Black Lion issues I’ve ever heard.
