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.

Starting off with Tom Harrell "Oak Tree" High Note cd. Late start to listening today as my wife woke up early and we had a fun morning breakfast and relaxing time on the couch.

I like that show. It's a series of morality plays. . . I enjoy them.

Bill Evans “The Paris Concert Edition One” Blue Note cd Recorded by Radio France at L’Espace Cardin, Paris on November 26, 1979.

“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt … she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard." Ella to Ms magazine.
