I have all those Bud Freeman Chronogical Classics--great music! “Bill Evans in England” Resonance Records 2 cd set, disc 1 I haven’t played this one in a while, and as a new RSD release (I go for the cd that comes out usually a week afterwards) is due, it seemed a good pick to start this cold morning (snow on the ground again!) I see a Bill Evans recording and get a sense I know it. . . and each time I do listen I find surprises, big and little, in the performance, arrangement, sound. . . a great thing. Especially it seems lately as the system shines so brightly.

Starting off a rainy morning with Branford Marsalis Qartet’s new one on Blue Note, “Belonging”–the Quartet re-interprests the Jarrett album with pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis, and drummer Justin Faulkner. Very nice. Hope the rain goes away. . .we’re supposed to go to Chagrin Falls for a “Hands Off” event this afternoon with a few neighbors.

The cold is back! And rain expected. . . as well as tomorrow which would suck as we’re scheduled to join in a local “Hands Off” event. 600×600 65.1 KB “Basie Big Band” Pablo Japan cd This was still in the transport and I’m spinning it again. I saw the Basie Orchestra about this time in Chicago in a Catholic Church near the University of Chicago which I was attending. I had wanted to go to the concert with the woman who seventeen years later became my first wife, but someone else had asked her first. I remember loving the show. . . and also watching her as much as I could out with the other guy. I was always drawn to her like a magnet. I think that emotional activity causes me to really remember the band’s performance. This disc has real dynamics. A great recording. Followed by Peggy Lee "Black Coffee" Japanese Decca/Universal lp facsimile cd
