Funking it up a bit. Javon Jackson “Have you Heard?”

Yes, nothing new but the cover and the excellent mastering. Starting off a soggy morning with some excellent music from the "Classic Vanguard Jazz Piano Sessions" Mosaic box set, disc III. All Mel Powell sessions. I have loved this music for many years, just so swinging and smart.

Sunday bump

“Classic Vanguard Jazz Piano Sessions” Mosaic Records box set, disc 2 Sir Charles Thompson Quartet! Bobby Henderson solo piano!

Warm again! Starting off with Chet Baker “The Complete Timeless Records Albums Collection” disc 1, Kirk Lightsey's "Everything Happens to Me"

Craig Taborn "Daylight Ghosts" ECM cd Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone – Chris Speed Double Bass, Bass Guitar – Chris Lightcap Drums, Percussion – Dave King Piano, Electronics – Craig Taborn

Robert Hunter “Tiiger Rose” Fiftieth Anniversary 2 cd set, disc 1 Newly released set. . . I haven’t listened to this album in a long time but I remember it fondly. Was part of my final period of rock listening before jazz nearly completely swallowed up my interests and musical attention.

Once again the stereo LP from the Rhino sixtieth anniversary mono/stereo 2 LP set John Coltrane “My Favorite Things”

Saturday bump

“Classic Vanguard Jazz Piano Sessions” disc 1 Jo Jones Trio! Sir Charles Thompson Quartet!

Warmest morning yet. . .but rainy. Still nice to not have to wear heavy socks! Starting off with a new arrival to the mailbox: Miles Davis “Birth of the Blue” Columbia/Analogue Productions SACD I disclike the title and the concept of titling this but the music is excellent and the mastering is really good. One fault: it’s short. They could have added a little. I wasn’t going to purchase this but eventually I caved.
