Survived a hot night. . . putting up with the sound of the window unit was a necessity. Getting excited about the 50th Anniversary releases of “Blues for Allah” coming up in September, which has led me to put on this finely recorded live version of the material. . . . Grateful Dead “One from the Vault” disc 1

PM on Elvis. Thanks.

The American Jazz Institute presents Mark Masters Ensemble “Peggy’s Blue Skylight” Capri Records cd Arrangements (arguably “recompositions”) by Masters of Mingus and Mulligan material. A real showcase for the system–superb engineering.

Another concert in the Grateful Dead “Enjoying the Ride” box set, this one Boston Garden, Boston, MA (10/3/94) disc 2

Not quite as cool as yesterday, but a sweet, still morning. My wife is sleeping well after a stressful day. I’m enjoying the opportunity to listen. Starting off with an LP from the shelves downstairs, “Ruby Braff with the Ed Bickert Trio” Sackville LP. Great song choices! Bass, Recorded By – Don Thompson Drums – Terry Clarke Guitar – Ed Bickert Trumpet – Ruby Braff Recorded at Puget Sound, Toronto on June 14, 1979.

Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra “Big Train” Columbia cd This one has hit my transport several times lately. . .it sounds really good and I guess I feel like taking a long train ride!

Boogaloo Joe Jones “Legends of Acid Jazz vol. 2” Prestige cd My system is really all about MUSIC for me and the way it is presenting this music is just as if I’m in a dream. I have really dialed this whole beast into the time and space machine I’ve always wanted. Just amazes me. Jones is one of my favorite soul jazz guitarists, I love the way he made guitars “sing,” especially the Barney Kessell Gibson signature model he was often pictured with.

300×297 7.79 KB Miles Davis “Porgy and Bess” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 I appreciate these Evan charts more and more as time goes by. They seem less dense than they did in the past and I love the airy layers. This Blu-Spec CD2 edition really does sound great.

Better than previous versions. 960×960 70.1 KB
