Lucy and I are finishing up Project Runway Season 6 (re-watch on her part) and the latest episode of the new season. I haven't been watching much TV otherwise. . . music has been reinforcing and sustaining me and I'm dedicating as much time as I can to that.

Miles Davis “Sorcerer” Mobile Fidelity Labs SACD OMG, Tony Williams! I remember being so inspired by his playing when I first discovered this album decades ago–this is a great showcase for his amazing talent. (And also a testament to the excellent engineering on this album). 500×500 90.6 KB 640×520 129 KB

A hot night, a stuffy morning. Summer is in full force here in NE Ohio. Grateful Dead 60th Anniversary box set, “Enjoying the Ride” Deer Creek Music Center, Noblesville, IN (7/15/89) disc 1

George Masso & Dan Barrett “Let’s Be Buddies” Arbors Jazz cd Close friendly jazz in excellent sound. Masso is a seasoned pro of decades of jazz leadership and a multi-instrumental master and Barrett is a virtuoso trombonist and can play a mean trumpet.

This is a really nice session. I like Ms Cole and One for All. Unfortunately this is on Venus cd. I just really don’t enjoy the Venus house mastering style. It’s not the worst of the lot but I wish it had been on a label with different mastering. I can futz around with gain in my system and it is nice, but I’d rather not futz. 299×300 8.3 KB

Woke up an hour ago with a lot of thoughts in my brain and a to do list that was forefront and had a hard time going back to sleep. So. . . thought I would listen a bit and see if I will get sleepy again. This is a great late night album. . . and Ms. Horn is always a great musical companion. Ah!

Sneaking a few listens in this cool morning before I have to go back to the dealership with my car. Starting off with the expanded Charles Mingus “The Carnegie Hall Concert–Deluxe Edition,” Rhino 2 cd set, disc 1–the newly released first part of the concert. The sound is so good! A reissue truly done right!
