I haven't done much listening because I was waiting for my new DAC to be delivered and as it was supposed to arrive on Sunday I took my modded DAC out of the main system and moved it into the headphone system, and that stock DAC I packed up as it was to be traded in for the new one. (All three are PS Audio DirectStream DSD DACs, one the original I bought, stock, another one modded with upgraded transformers and an outboard power supply for the analog board, and this third one the Mk2 version just released). Well, although it was loaded and out for delivery Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, each day at about five p.m. there was an "Operational Delay" and it was rescheduled for the next day. I guess I should be lucky that it got here today. It sounds great. Right now, playing again, Wynton Marsalis "Blue Interlude" Columbia cd

There IS a movie. . . .

Vol. 2 does not exist.

Synergistic Research interconnects have sold. Thanks!

Wynton Marsalis Septet “Blue Interlude” Columbia cd. I like this band. Hard to believe it has been more than 30 years when this first came out. Wynton Marsalis – trumpet; piano and spoken word Reginald Veal – bass Herlin Riley – drums Marcus Roberts – piano Wessel Anderson – alto saxophone Todd Williams – tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, clarinet Wycliffe Gordon – trombone

The lovely Ms Spalding left her basses at home for this one. I like it. Esperanza Spalding and Fred Hersch “Alive at the Village Vanguard”

I've been re-reading the A.A. Fair novels the last few years, up to this one. "Give 'Em the Ax" These B. Cool and Lam novels are fun.

Two Johnny Little albums on one BGP cd “The Loop” and “New and Groovy”

Kenny Burrell “Lucky So and So” Concord cd 600×598 186 KB The master working his musical magic.

Keith Jarrett Trio “Changeless” ECM cd An old favorite, not played for a while (after perhaps playing it too often for a while!)

A valid question--only "Talkin' Verve" on cd compiling Cadet and Impulse! sides.

I don't have that one. In part I'm holding off because I'm near the very end of her catalog and I hate to get there, so I ignore one for as long as I can and this is a plum to be ignored. And in reality I haven't found a copy at a price I want to shell out for yet. Right now Duke Ellington “1950” Chronogical Classics cd Mostly Mercer Records material with some Columbia Records at the end.

This one?

That would make a great box set. Maybe if the Lockjaw/Queen Craft set sells like a dickens. . . .

Carmen McRae "Bitter Sweet" Focus Records/Koch cd One of Carmen's best imo. She even plays piano on one track, that's always a good thing.

Carmen McRae “Live at the Flamingo Club” London, May 1961 Great performance! I hope one day to find a better sounding release.

Just the mellow sound needed for the moment. Gene Ammons “Boss Tenor” Prestige/RVG Edition cd.
