Eliane Elias “Love Stories” Concord cd

A cool morning punctuated by the sound of the garbage trucks in the neighborhood. Squeezing in some listening before going off to the car dealer. . . . Horace Tapscott and the Pan-Afrikan Arkestra “Live at the UCC March 25, 1979” Nimbus West cd Alll these in the series are great listens. This one is nicely recorded.
