Pan Afrikan People's Arkestra "Live At IUCC 6/24/79 – Church Recordings Vol 6" (2CD set) disc 1 I'm awake now.

Shelly Manne & His Men “Yesterdays” Pablo cd

Her music doesn't really do much for me no matter what it may be classified as. But she is a lovely woman.

Unless there is some revelation of profundities I have completely missed, I too will pass on the next installment of the bootleg series. Actually it's not the next installment of the Bootleg Series, but a Japanese brewed independent release adopted by Columbia/Sony for international release.

Jackie Paris “Nobody Else But Me” Audiophile Records cd Bass – Mike Richmond Drums – Keith Copeland Piano – Jim McNeely Vocals – Jackie Paris Recorded July 11 + 12, 1988 in New York City. This is one of my favorite Jackie Paris albums

Art Farmer Quartet (with Jim Hall) “From Sweden with Love–Live!” cd Sound is pretty darned good. I’ve always loved the music from this Quartet.

Theo Hill “Reality Check” cd I bought this because Joel Ross was here on vibes. Nice quartet session.

Another release from 1978. . . quite different. Charles Mingus “Something Like a Bird” Atlantic cd from the “Changes” box set.

Bob Dylan "LIve at Budokan" Sony Blu-Spec CD2, disc 1 Thie Budokan concerts expanded is the next deluxe Dylan set to come in October so I wanted to revisit this release which is certainly far from my favorite Dylan to see if I am interested in this expensive upcoming set. Not really. I admit I like listening to this more than I have in the past because my system sounds os much better. . .but. . .what I have is enough.

Ahmad Jamal “The Complete Ahmad Jamal Trio Argo Sessions 1956-1962” discs V and V! The mastering on this set excels that of any LP or cd of this material I have had before. The dynamics that Jamal plays with so skillfully are presented as accurately as the dynamics on almost any other recordings I have. Lovely sound that breathes and swings.

I was going to recommend the Vegh Quartet work. I have a pretty limited experience along these lines, but those always impressed me.

Starting the day off with some Morelenbaum. Jacques Morelenbaum CELLOSAM3ATRIO “Saudade do Futuro–Futuro da Saudade”

I own them all. Perhaps my favorite trio.

Fresh Sounds has done this as well. I think Ace Records owns this material and it would be great if they did this.

Gabriel Mervine “Live at Nocturne” Octave Records SACD

Special guests! Duke Ellington and his Orchestra “Live at Newport 1958” Columbia 2 cd set, disc 2

Coleman Hawkins "The Hawk Swings" Crown Records/Boplicity cd What a band! Coleman Hawkins – tenor saxophone Thad Jones – trumpet Eddie Costa – piano, vibraphone George Duvivier – bass Osie Johnson – drums

John Oswald/Grateful Dead “Grayfolded” disc 1 “Transitive Axis.” About a hundred versions of “Dark Star” folded together. A fascinating disc, one of two.

Artemis “Artemis”. Blue Note cd

Duke Eliington “Private Collection Vol. 3” These Private Collection discs have some very interesting music.

A five second google search.

This was a hot band that tour. SFJazz Collective “Music by Stevie Wonder and new Compositions” disc 3

Guinga “Noturno Copacabano” Velas cd Guinga’s great guitar playing with great horn playing as well.

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.
