What a band!

John Oswald/Grateful Dead “Grayfolded” disc 1 “Transitive Axis.”
About a hundred versions of “Dark Star” folded together. A fascinating disc, one of two.
Up early with Fiona the dachshund, this is lulling us into a mellow morning.
Mario Adnet “Amazonia–Na Trilha Da Floresta” Adventure Music cd
Orchestral “Forest Trails” produced and arranged by Mario Adnet, guitarist.
Beatiful morning sounds.
I could wish this concert was better recorded, but I’m happy that it sounds better on this Octave/Mack Records cd than an earlier cd and the LP i had–due I bet in large part to the use of the Plangent Process.
I think this is the last live concert of Garner’s recorded and released. And it sure is a good one.
Erroll Garner “The Campus Concert”
Count Basie's first recording for Pablo Records, a jam that is interesting in that Irving Ashby of Nat Cole Trio fame is on board. Great horn players too. And the Count plays organ as well as piano.

Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - tenor saxophone
Zoot Sims
J.J. Johnson - trombone
Harry "Sweets" Edison - trumpet
Irving Ashby - guitar
Ray Brown - double bass
Louie Bellson - drums
Bengt Hallberg “Late Date: A Tribute to Lars Gullin” Dragon cd
Gullin certainly wrote some beautiful music and it’s great to hear an old colleague paying tribute.
