Duke Ellington “The Great Paris Concert” Atlantic 2 cd set A great Ellington concert . . . sound is very good. If I had a time machine this would be a good destination for an evening out.

Cassandra Wilson “Live” Winter & Winter cd Long time no play–system has improved since then. A great listen.

About 10 days I'd say. For some items they have an American warehouse.

Cheaper to order from the label.

Can't drink what isn't there to purchase.

Both are great concerts. I think the sound is a little better here, though I haven't made a direct comparison this week. There are only a week apart between them. . . very similar performances but as you know there are significant differences between Miles concerts in any year.

This is a great release. Sound almost as good as the Dragon/Bootleg series releases of 1960 tour material. Great performances.

Roland, Christian McBride, Walter Booker Drums – Clarence Penn, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Lewis Nash Piano – Cyrus Chestnut, John Hicks, Mulgrew Miller Tenor Saxophone – Craig Handy Vocals – Betty Carter I needed to hear some Betty.

I like the strawberry but in the evenings it upsets my stomach a bit . . . I like grape later in the day.

Dexter Gordon ‘Gettin’ Around" Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG LP facsimile cd

Lost our internet from 5:00 p.m. or so til 2:00 a.m. Back now and catching up. Now playing Steve Lehman Octet “Travel, Transformation and Flow” More than a bit outside but resembling my brain this morning that is only linear when my dog is barking looking for more food.

The sound is quite good. The playing is very nice.

That flavor is not available here. .. yet.

I ordered it from Blue Sounds (www.freshsoundrecords.com)

Listening to Miles Davis and Barney Wilen at the Olympia Theater, November 1957 on the newly released Fresh Sound cd.

Erik Deutsch “Decades” Octave SACD Impressive sound. I’m warming to the performances. Followed by Logan Richardson “AFROFUTURISM” Whirlwind cd Not really morning music but I’m digging it.

Chico Buarque Songbook, Vol. 1, Lumiar cd

Al Grey "Snap Your Fingers! Featuring Billy Mitchell" Argo/Verve cd I'm foggy this morning. This is helping clear the cloud.

Circulation: The Music of Gary McFarland McFarland’s music has fascinated me and this is a nice project.
