Marcos Amorim Trio “Portraits” Adventure Music cd

My rock concert days were before the heavy merch days. Long ago, far away. Not sure about bow ties.

I hadn't thought about this. I wonder if it's a case of "demand." I do know some jazz fans who. . .wouldn't wear a t-shirt of a jazz artist. They dress a little bit more. . .refined. Myself, I appreciate a good t-shirt with printing but so much more often I wear a plain colored t-shirt of which I have a spread of colors available. When I have a really nice printed t-shirt, such as the four Uniquo that I have. . . I worry about harming the printing in use or washing. I find I don't wear them as often as I imagine I would when I buy them.

"Chet Baker Trio – Live In Paris: The Radio France Recordings 1983-1984" Elemental Music 2 cd set, disc 2 Of all the releases of RSD material the last few years this is among my favorites, along with this year's Chet Baker release. Just relaxed and soothing playing in decent sound.

J & K “Stonebone” RSD reissue Bought this for “Free” and postage during the sale Sound of Vinyl had that ended days ago. Not essential, but some nice solos.

"Citadel," Prime Video. Over-the-top of the top, but. . . Priyanka. That voice. . .an important part of her appeal to me. She's why I'm going to watch this one to the end.

I’m sneaking this one in while Lucy and Fiona sleep, on my best headphone system. Wow. Just amazing in all possible ways. My favorite digital version. Sony SRCS 9703 cd, lp facsimile

RIP Peter. Never got into his music but realize his importance.

Bengt Hallberg with Lars Gullin “All Star Sessions 1953/1954 – Featuring Lars Gullin” Dragon Records cd Great morning listening. The Dusty Groove description: Great recordings from Swedish pianist Bengt Hallberg – recorded at a key point in the 50s when he was really building a reputation in the overseas market! The sides here were recorded for Metronome and Pacific Jazz – and feature Hallberg’s sharp-edged piano working with a great range of Swedish reedmen – not just baritonist Lars Gulling, as mentioned in the title – but also Arne Domnerus on alto and clarinet, Carl-Henrik Norin on tenor, and Putte Wickman on clarinet – plus added brass from the trumpet of Ernie Englund and trombone of Ake Persson. Moods are modern throughout – and kind of a blend of Swedish postwar with west coast cool – an aspect that made Hallberg ripe for exposure to the US market at the time. Titles include “Pink Lady”, “Side Car”, “Whiskey Sour”, “Red Wails In The Sunset”, “Blues In Fourths”, and “Meatballs” – and some tracks are presented in multiple takes!

I never mention guns. Loathesome things.
