Jon Irabagon “Behind The Sky–featuring Tom Harrell”

Don’t often do this but I’m playing this one again. For a Jobim nut this is wonderful. The sound is very vivid and real as well. “Eric LeLann & Jean Marie Ecay Play Jobim” Plus Loin cd Guitar and trumpet duo interpretations of the master’s music.

Starting the day off with Jobim interpretations. Dirindi feat Marzieh Reyhani "Cantar Do Jobim" Jazz N Pulz cd

Pat Thomas “Desafinado” Blue Moon cd

Listening now to two newly arrived Teagarden LPs from a four LP lot of Jackson I got very cheaply from eBay. First up was a mono LP of “Think Well of Me”–I’ve had the stereo on LP and cd, but never heard the mono and it’s a great mix, and sounded great. Now I’m listening to “Mis’ry and the Blues” one of my favorites–I’ve never had it on LP only on cd, and it’s a great sound stereo copy. Now I need to decide of I want to splurge on a (more expensive) mono copy. I’ll keep an eye out I’m sure I’ll find one eventually I can’t resist. I’m a Teagarden fanatic, more so as time passes.

I have all I have ever encountered by him, which is nearly all written or recorded. I once pleaded with Michael Cuscuna to collect all this into a Mosaic set. His one line response: "Lon, you are out of your mind!"

Right now, another unsung vocalist that I really enjoy Babs Gonzales. He was a complete goof. But he could also deliver straight and emotionally as he does often enough on this LP. A reissue of an earlier LP which is very hard to find: Babs Gonzales “Babs” Chiaroscuro LP Some of my favorite musicians behind him here! Drums – Roy Haynes Leader, Vocals – Babs Gonzales Piano – Horace Parlan Acoustic Bass – Buddy Catlett Tenor Saxophone – Charlie Rouse, Johnny Griffin Trombone – Melba Liston Trumpet – Clark Terry Violin – Ray Nance 600×618 123 KB Original 1968 LP

I listened to the Tomlinson from last night again and then Aline Muniz “Onde Tudo Faz Sentido” A Brazilian singer-songwriter with a lovely voice.

Yes, it's been on a gray market cd, and on Miles Davis Bootleg Series Vol. 4.

Sahib Shibab “Companionship” Rearward Schema cd

Newport '55--which led to Miles signing with Columbia.

The Sahib Shihab Quintet “Seeds” Rearward Schema cd

Duke Ellington Orchestra “Hot Summer Nights” Red Baron cd Just one night in the life of the Orchestra, and they were unusually (it seems to me) tight that night.

I feel very much the same way Joe, though the next two had some great moments. And I'll add the complete Basement Tapes and Planet Waves. Planet Waves still blows me away, best of Bob and The Band together.

Another beautiful sounding Adventure Music cd from Brazilian trombonist Vittor Santos! Vittor Santos “Renewed Impressions”

Saw this cd on the shelves and had to spin it–this is such a sunny and warm and fun cd. I love Paula’s voice . . . and Joao shares her bright musical spirit. “Paula Morelenbaum & Joao Donato” 600×527 84.8 KB 854×602 98.1 KB

I'd recommend these eye protection for anyone riding, I have both tinted and clear pairs (for night riding). Your eyes will not water and they rarely rarely "fog up" . . . . https://www.wileyx.com/sunglasses/collection/climate-control They're not cheap but they work. Transformed my riding eye comfort.

“Sugar Hill: The Music Of Duke Ellington And Billy Strayhorn” Chesky SACD Javon Jackson, David Hazeltine, Tony Reedus, Paul Gill

“The Jackie Paris Sound” Atlantic/Collector’s Choice cd This century I discovered the joy of Jackie Paris recordings and this is a good one. Bass – Joe Benjamin, Wendell Marshall Drums – Bill Clark, Ed Shaughnessy Guitar – Barry Galbraith Piano – John James Tenor Saxophone – Ed Wasserman

Stefon Harris "Black Action Figure" Blue Note cd Starting the day off with a recording that has it all. . . horns, quartet, swing, funk, introspective rumination.

I got into Chick via Filles de Kilimanjaro and MIles Davis at Fillmore. I preferred his fusion work to Herbie's but I like Herbie's as well. Ponty does very little for me, never has.

In my case I had rain gear and rode in rain a lot. I was also very easily able to take one of three different bus routes to work; three bus stops were just one to five minutes from my house. The very best grocery store in town was a five minute walk from our house, and I had sadddle-bags on my motorcycle to transport items as well. My then wife (now late first wife) did not drive. I often used noise protection--never any "music" headphones--when riding. I both rode with and without full and open helmets. Fogging wasn't much of an issue, I usually had the visor off or propped up.
