The system is all warmed up and I’m treating it to a Monday Michiru that is among my favorite listens of the darkest time of this century–“Optimista” . . . talk about a percussive wall of sound. I love this photo–I love any woman who can laugh this way. 300×299 7.48 KB

Have the house to myself, so I am listening to something loud that I have wanted to turn up ever since it was released last year. Jimi Hendrix “Axis Bold as Love” mono mix from “Bold as Love,” the box set. 400×400 48.4 KB

Yes “Tales from Topographic Oceans” Steve Wilson remix box set, disc 1, Atlantic cd

Chilly rain. . . this will demolish what remains of the recent 13" plus of snow we had. Warm for January this morning, with a cooler front moving in this afternoon. I decided to start the day with a Miles Davis bootleg–Miles Davis “Howlin’–Kyoto, July 15, 1964” EGHO cd. Not perfect sound, but decent, and Sam Rivers on tenor for one of his few recorded gigs with the Quintet. Interestingly this concert was recorded outside in the rain. . . so the slightly intrusive sound of the rain here, now, is appropriate.

This item has sold. Thanks!

“Ernie Wilkins Kenny Clarke Septet” Savoy/Denon cd Recorded the year I was born. . . an early RVG recording. . . and swinging in that Marshall/Clarke way that made many Savoys so great. And Eddie Bert on trombone–a plus! Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone – Ernie Wilkins Baritone Saxophone – Cecil Payne Bass – Wendell Marshall Drums – Kenny Clarke Engineer – Rudy Van Gelder Piano – Hank Jones Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone – George Barrow Trombone – Eddie Bert

Dave Holland Big Band "What Goes Around" ECM cd My kind of ECM album.

15 IPS is the recording and playback speed for the recording. IEC is a type of equalization. I think there is a market for these tapes. One suggestion may be to query HDTT website, they transfer tapes into high resolution digital and may be interested in purchasing these: https://www.highdeftapetransfers.ca/pages/contact-us https://www.highdeftapetransfers.ca/pages/about-us

Now playing “Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto–Live at the Berlin Jazz Fesitval 1966” The Lost Recordings 2 cd set, disc 1 This edition of the Getz group with Gary Burton swings hard!

Unfortunately other than doing a bit of isolation component shifting I didn’t get to spend time with the system yesterday. I missed it! I hope to get a little time in today. Everything changes when I don’t listen to enough music. Starting off a cold morning with “Hal Wilner Presents Weird Nightmare–Meditations on Mingus.” This recording has fascinated me for decades with its use of instruments developed by Hary Partch. A very interesting release–and I love the Mingus music at its core.

Daniel I too am very worried about the state of the world and it influences how I view bulletin boards. I pay more attention to one thread on another forum, and that community means a lot to me, helps me to cope with the worry and frankly anger I feel. I worry so much for my young neices and nephews (including -in law) and what their future will be like--I totially understand the importance you place on raising your kids and your worry about their reality ahead. I've always enjoyed your posting.

A daily bump.

It’s going to be a bit on the warmer side today, up to 40 degrees, the high from yesterday. Still feels cold . . . I’m thinking of a sweater! (Not something I normally wear). Starting off with the warm Brazilian sound of “Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum”–graceful, expertly played Jobim music by his son and some of his favorite band mates.

March 8, 2003 I joined. I remember flailing about trying to find a new home after the BNB fell apart. . . and landing here to stay very happily for fifteen years or so.
