Hopefully warmer today. Had a rough night, Lucinda was not sleeping well . . . and that meant I didn't either. Starting off with an old favorite, my OG LP copy of Grateful Dead "Blues for Allah". . . sounds really good today.

I see no news outside of Facebook about his passing. I hope it's not true!

Antonio Carlos Jobim “Stone Flower” CTI Supreme Blu-Spec CD Japan I listen to this title for pleasure and to assess my system’s current quality status. Man, oh man, this sounds very good today. And some of my favorite music ever. 200×200 11.8 KB

Immanuel Wilkins “Blues Blood” Blue Note cd A different release than his first two on Blue Note, the first to include vocals. I love the sound of Wilkins’ alto, and his writing is always interesting. 200×200 4.7 KB

Something different than my usual. I bought this after seeing her Austin City Limits performance and being very impressed. I think I would have mixed and mastered this differently but I like this music. She’s exhibiting a bigger Prince influence than I noticed before, and man can she SING. Brittany Howard “What Now”

Something there is about Tom Harrell’s music that I keep reaching for it the last 12 months or so. Perhaps it’s because it is solidly a part of the tradition and yet also a personal distillation of the post-bop musical world. He’a a favorite of my best friend who is also a trumpeter and that I think also plays a part–we have listened to his music over the years together. This is a nice one. . . a live recording that sounds great and has spirited playing by musicians who listen to each other and enjoy playing together–THAT you can feel in the music.

NICE! Thanks. I'd only seen the Louis, Ella and Duke before.

Jimmy Smith “Cool Blues” Blue Note RVG Edition cd Despite the complaints many raise against RVG Edition cds I find quite a few that sound really nice at least to me on my system–this is one of them. Great music here! Alto Saxophone – Lou Donaldson (tracks: 1 to 6) Drums – Art Blakey or Donald Bailey Guitar – Eddie McFadden Organ – Jimmy Smith Tenor Saxophone – Tina Brooks Recorded live on mono at Small’s Paradise, New York City on April 7, 1958. Remastered in 2001. All transfers from the analog tapes to digital were made at 24-bit resolution. The original CD issue on this material (B2-84441) contained pitch errors that have since been corrected.

I've ordered the Charlie Rouse cd. . .my previous cd copy is probably in deep storage. I have copies of the others I'm interested in on hand.

Claudia Acuna “Luna” MaxJazz cd “Music Is A Journey With Many Stories To Tell” Acoustic Bass, Electric Bass, Arranged By – John Benitez Backing Vocals – Bethany Yarrow Drums – Gene Jackson Producer, Arranged By, Vocals, Written-By, Lyrics By, Backing Vocals – Claudia Acuña Producer, Piano, Instruments [Fender Rhodes], Arranged By, Written-By, Backing Vocals – Jason Lindner Soprano Saxophone – Jimmy Greene 300×270 5.98 KB

This Dorham sounds so so much better than Olatunji! My copy is flawless. Luck of the draw I guess.

oe Locke David Hazeltine “Mutual Admiration Society” Sharp Nine cd I have enjoyed revisting this and “2” its sequel. I especially like the lower tempo numbers where the vibraphone “rings out” more. Engineering is really nice on this–all instruments are well portrayed and the overall balance seems very natural.
