I've seen it listed but haven't heard it or owned or even seen a copy.

Julian Priester Keep Swingin’ Riverside/OJC cd. Looking at that band lineup you know it’s going to be great, and it is. Julian and Jimmy blend so well together with their rich tones.

It's so much fun re-reading these tales of the B. Cool and Lam Detective Agency, and also cool to be reading a very old paperback.

Another cd and Blu-ray set. . . listening to the cd. Wes Montgomery The NDR Hamburg Studio Recordings" I didn’t know about this release til last week. Sound is excellent as are the performances. Recorded April 30, 1965 (live-recording) at NDR Studio 10, Hamburg, Germany Alto Saxophone – Hans Koller Baritone Saxophone – Ronnie Ross Bass – Michel Gaudry Drums – Ronnie Stephenson Guitar – Wes Montgomery Liner Notes – Michael Laages Piano – Martial Solal Tenor Saxophone – Johnny Griffin, Ronnie Scott The Blu-ray includes another session.

It may well be too early for this music, especially as the new SEWE300B amp has really bloomed lately and is sounding so atmospheric and this music is. . . eerie to say the least, full of resonant spacey effects. But it suits today well enough! Sun Ra & His Intergalactic Solar Arkestra: Space Is The Place (Music From The Original Soundtrack) 2 cd set and also remastered DVD and Blu-ray of the film, now listening to CD 1

Chet Baker “Baby Breeze” Limelight/Verve cd. This one again as I didn’t get to the alternate and additional tracks yesterday. Some great Chet singing here–especially the two tracks just backed by Kenny Burrell. What Kenny could do. . .he was such a master.

Chet Baker “Baby Breeze” Limelight/Verve cd.

Kenny Clarke Francy Boland Big Band “Jazz is Universal” Atlantic/WEA Japan cd

Yes, I'd like to hear the live one but it's not easily available.

Recorded in Cuba, a great session. Stefon Harris/Christopher Scott/David Sanchez “Ninety Miles” Concord cd en.wikipedia.org Ninety Miles Project Ninety Miles Project is both a jazz album and documentary film recorded on Havana, Cuba, in May 2010, and features American jazz artists Christian Scott, Stefon Harris, and David Sánchez. The project also features Cuban composers and artists Rember Duharte and Harold Lopez Nussa. The album was released in 2010 on Concord Picante Records. The follow-up record, Ninety Miles Live at Cubadisco, was released on September 24, 2012. The name alludes to the stretch of waters between America, Puerto Rico...

After spinning a classical SACD I am on to an Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie disc on Pablo. “Ella and Basie–A Perfect Match” Pablo cd. Late Ella, late Basie, aged to an expressive height.

The Don Rendel Ian Carr Quintet “Change Is”

Starting the day on other worlds. Joe Lovano & Dave Douglas Sound Prints “Other Worlds”

I've read that it IS a needle-drop. Haven't my copy yet.

They can do wonders with needle-drops today. The new Pharoah Sanders supposedly sounds amazing for example. Must be . . . A I.

It's an okay session, not essential for either a Chico or Little Feat fan imo. I have it on cd from Culture Factory.

Anita O’Day (with the Gary McFarland Orchestra “All the Sad Young Men” Verve I’m listening to this session in the O’Day Verve Mosaic box. I’m fascinated with McFarland’s arranging and his music in general. This is a good pairing.

“10 Anos de Toquinho & Vinicius”

Jeremy Steig “Wayfaring Stranger” Blue Note/ Dusgty Groove cd 587×600 117 KB Quite a band–Sam Brown on guitar! Bass, Liner Notes – Eddie Gomez Drums – Don Alias Flute – Jeremy Steig Guitar – Sam Brown

Is there really such a box that can be compiled? I have doubts there is enough of useable quality to release.

Starting the morning off with something diffferent that I haven’t heard for a while. This edition has a hi-res verson on DVD that sounds great, but my main system doesn’t play DVD (my other two systems do) so. . .here’s the excellent sounding cd version. Shostakovich: Pavel Kogan, Moscow State Symphony Orchestra – Symphony No. 5 Opus 47

I haven’t heard this one in too long, a nice live date with Kenny and Jay Hoggard on vibes. Kenny Burrell “Guiding Spirit” Contemporary Japan cd
