I pre-ordered mine via bandcamp and got it in the mail yesterday.

I've been revisiting this London Brew thing. Disc 1 makes more sense to me this time. . . I've decided that parts of it remind me more of "Miles Davis at Fillmore" than "Bitches Brew" (the synth interplay being like Keith and Chick in ways, and some reminds me of "The Mask") and though parts of the second track might be conceived to be like "Pharaoh's Dance". . .it is a lot more like "Ife" and some of "Get Up With It." The horns are more dominant on the second disc and I like that more and forget about trying to see what was "Bitches Brew" inspired etc.

Starting off the day re-listening to this one. The mastering is excellent. This is the first cd reissue of one of my favorite albums from the 'seventies, originally released in the US on Cobblestone. Great, wild music. Hermeto Pascoal, "Hermeto" followed by "CENARIO BRASILEIRO featuring João Bosco" Celia Malheiros

I just got caught up with Season 2. Which for me is just as good as 1.

I looked for this one for a long time. Finally found it had fallen back behind a bookcase of cds! Love this disc, love Strayhorn. Billy Strayhorn, “Lush Life” Red Baron cd

Monday Michiru “Episodes in Color” With the new DAC breaking in this cd is a great test to show me where bass response is. And where it is is in a very good place. I love this woman’s work. Her lyrics especially impress me. But her singing is also great–especially her multi-tracked harmony singing.

The first session here is great with Jimmy Jones and Roy Haynes. “The Complete Roost Sonny Stitt Studio Sessions” Mosaic Records, disc 6

I’d forgotten how nice and mellow this cd is. Soundstage back behind the speakers. Great band. Chet Baker “Chet” Orin Keepnews Edition, Concord cd

I disagree. Important, to me, parts of former Tony were jettisoned never to return. And I am not a fan of what was replacing them. C'est la vie.
