I have digital versions of this LP in stereo, but this mono Roulette LP has a rich sound of its own that I wanted to hear. Jack Teagarden “Portrait of Mr. T” Don Goldie was an excellent trumpeter and vocalist and is a real asset in the late Teagarden bands. And how cool to have a version of Bix’s “In the Dark”. . . .

Erroll Garner “The Complete Concert by the Sea” disc 1 This release continues to fascinate me. I had earlier versions of this acclaimed and extremely popular release, but not only is the complete, twice as long as previously released, concert here, but the extraordinary Plangent Process has been used to TRANSFORM the sound here. And if I had a time machine I’d go back to this performance night and revel in the delight. I am certain that visually Garner is as riveting and involving as the audio material is for me. He was one of a kind and like other great pianists I love to hear he is a master of a musical universe. If you have been familiar with the other editions of this music the transformation of the sound is fascinating.

More awake now, I want to hear a bigger sound. . . . “Duke Ellington: Live At The Berlin Jazz Festival 1969-1973” Lost Recordings/Diavelet cd It took me a while, but I’ve learned to really love “late” Ellington. This one is in excellent sound.

It was a stuffy night. . . slept a bit fitfully. Starting off the morning with a nice trio recording.

My favorite interpretations.

Pharoah Sanders “Message from Home” Verve cd Produced by Bill Laswell

I'm not making any sacrifice. The benefits of her love and trust far outweigh being cautious and mindful pf her apprehension and insecurity. Right now Jazz is Dead 7 "Joao Donato"

No, she would not be happy. She's very possessive and jealous. And I guess due to a devistating past marriage insecure. I'm used to it after ten years, I love her, she has nothing to fear but I know that doesn't keep fear at bay. Right now Another disc from the “Enjoying the Ride” Grateful Dead box set. Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY (9/16/87) disc 3

There should have been an album "Everybody Digs Wes!" Now playing a collaboration between Wes and his brothers, "Montgomeryland" with Harold Land and an album reorded with Pony Poindexter. "Montgomeryland" Poll Winners cd 458×458 50.1 KB She's such a lovely lady. I met her father when I was a teen. . . would love to meet her one day. But my wife would not allow even if I could!

Alexis Cole and Bucky Pizzarelli “A Beautiful Friendship” Venus cd Bass, Vocals – Nicki Parrott Clarinet – Anat Cohen Guitar – Bucky Pizzarelli, Frank Vignola Trumpet – Warren Vaché Vocals – Alexis Cole

Carmen McRae “Carmen Sings Monk” Like Betty Carter Ms McRae recorded some amazing albums right before her passing, this perhaps the best of them. A perfect marriage of music and singer.

A wonderfully cool morning after a hot day. Starting off with the second half of this release, didn’t get to fully digest it yesterday. Excellent music and sound. Joel Ross “Who Are You?” Blue Note cd

Joel Ross “Who Are You?” Blue Note cd Joel Ross on vibes, Jeremy Corren on piano, Immanuel Wilkins on alto saxophone, Jeremy Dutton on drums, Kanoa Mendenhall on bass. Harpist Brandee Younger guests on five tracks. This is a killer band and album, Ross’ second as a leader.

Flora Purim "Open Your Eyes You Can Fly" Milestone LP Maybe not my favorite Flora LP, but it's a good one. Ah, they're all good. with Airto, David Amaro, Ron Carter, George Duke, Egberto Gismonti, Alphonso Johnson, Ndugu (Leon Chancler), Laudir De Oliveira, Robertinho Silva, and Hermeto Pascoal.

I met Sam at a gig in Austin, and my wife and I talked to him a few minutes outside the club. What a nice man!

Cassandra Wilson “Jump World” Winter&Winter cd I sure wish Ms Wilson would put out a new one. I haven’t heard this one in a while.

Amazon has it up now for 19.98 and as I had Prime it's my best bet--I pre-ordered.

Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead “Come Down to that old Jail Cell” Rehearsals for their tour, 6 cd set, disc 2 As a former band member I like listening to rehearsals. Not sure why. . . .

Nilson Matta “Green Heart” A nice album by this Brazilian bassist that suits this quiet, finally cool morning.
