Coming back to this one, mainly because I've become quite drawn to the playing of Joel Ross and Mark Turner. Jason Palmer "The Concert: 12 Musings for Isabella"

Revisiting this one. I love it. Bob Dylan “Rough and Rowdy Ways” Sony Japan, disc 1

Sun Ra in Egypt 1971, cd 2. Wild stuff. Mastering on this set is very good, getting the best out of the material.

Starting the day off with a very nice recording of Harold Mabern leading a great band through Coltrane compositions. Harold Mabern “Mabern Plays Coltrane” 768×768 175 KB

Lee Morgan “Complete Live at the Lighthouse” Blue Note Japan SHM-CD box set. Disc 3 I needed some bass clarinet in my day! Bennie Maupin delivers.

Camila Benson “Desafinado–Songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim II” Nice atmospheric recording, and Ms Benson can sing and play. A good batch of Jobim interpretations.

Yes. All of Neto's work is interesting.

Now that the system is warmed up, this old favorite. The new amp is excelling in playback.

Rudy Royston “303” cd Bass – Mimi Jones, Yasushi Nakamura (2) Drums, Percussion, Producer– Rudy Royston Guitar – Nir Felder Piano – Sam Harris Saxophone – Jon Irabagon Trumpet – Nadja Noordhuis Nice music and sound.

Duke Ellington “Private Collection Vol 2 – Dance Concerts – California 1958” Wow. To have been at one of these concerts! Some great Ray Nance in particular.

Warming up the stereo after five days cold. This is a nice one I haven’t played in a while. Etta James “Mystery Lady: Songs of Billie Holiday” So good to be listening again!

Our neighborhood was out of power for five days after a tornado passed by. Most neighbors have generators. It went from a quiet neighborhood where the most prevalent sounds outside were the wind in the trees. . . to sounding like we were living next to an interstate highway! In the last three years we have had three periods of five days or more without power. . . but I still don't want a regenerator. Can't really afford one for the little use and I hate the sound (of the neighbors') and don't want to contribute to the general noise pollution.

Definitely not cheap. And the gas powered ones are like noise pollution.

Me too. Day 5 of no power and water after a tornado passed by though so won't be listening for a while.

Disc 2

Well, glad you enjoy the music.

Sorry to hear that. Their service for cds has always been quick for me.

Yes, pretty quick.

OK, I forgot about that as I ordered about 7 3 dollar cds from the label and I think only paid that one shipping cost.

Actually the cd is 3 dollars.

Walter Smith III “Twio” Nice session. Redman and McBride appear on a few tracks.

Marvin Gaye “What’s Goin’ On” Mobile Fidelity SACD Masterful. . . brilliant. Followed by Andrew Hill “Time Lines” Blue Note cd A favorite Andrew Hill.

Jefferson Airplane “Surrealistic Pillow” Mobile Fidelity (mono) SACD

My favorite big ensemble CTI recording. Milt Jackson “Sunflower” CTI Supreme Blu-Spec cd
