One JG followed by another. First, Jerry Garcia "Live Volume 17" disc 1. This seems to be a nice laid back show, which is how I like my Garcia Band shows. Followed by Johnny Griffin "Johnny Griffin" Japan Universal cd UCCU-8228 (new reissue using 2002 master). With Junior Mance, Wilbur Ware, Buddy Smith, Argo LP originally.

Chick Corea + Origin "Live at the Blue Note" box set, disc 4

Chick Corea + Origin "Live at the Blue Note" box set, disc 2

Shirley Scott "One for Me"

Duke Ellington "Indigos" Impex Records gold cd

"Miles Davis plays for Friends with Benefits" Sony Special Products cd

Miles Davis "Zurich 1960" TCB cd

Starting the day off with this one again. It's just so . . . graceful and calm and charming. Daniele di Bonaventura & Giovanni Ceccarelli “Eu te amo – The music of Tom Jobim”

I think Bird was canny enough to know that the discs Dean recorded could be circulated, he knew the level of his ingenuity and acclaim. I bet he could envision them being bootlegged and/or released officially. . . and I think he would have not objected strongly. Just my hunch. We won't know.

I can't speak for him, but I think he may be questioning whether Bird would want every scrap of material privately or covertly recorded without his permission or review to be available. In his case as he didn't seem to contest Benedetti and others recording him as they did perhaps he just didn't care. All artists may not feel or have felt similarly.

Daniele di Bonaventura & Giovanni Ceccarelli “Eu te amo – The music of Tom Jobim” A beautiful album in every way.

Frank Rosolino "Free for All" Specialty/OJC cd Bass – Leroy Vinnegar Drums – Stan Levey Piano – Victor Feldman Tenor Saxophone – Harold Land Trombone – Frank Rosolino

Harold Mabern "The Iron Man--Live at Smoke" Smoke Sessions 2 cd set, disc 1

Don Ellis Orchestra "Live at Monterey" Universal Japan cd UCCU-8176

Buddy DeFranco "In a Mellow Mood" Universal Japan cd UCCU-8213 Another great DeFranco album with Sonny Clark. All of these are equally interesting and some of my favorite Clark appearances.

Listening right now. Nice!

Harold Mabern "Mabern plays Coltrane"

Duke Pearson "The Right Touch" Blue Note Japan SHM-CD

One of my favorite 'sixties Blue Note sessions. Reissued last month again in Japan, this is from the penultimate release, TOCJ-8717. Tyrone Washington "Natural Essence"

I'm not a big fan of Xmas music but I love this release. Roberts is a master and I have seen his amazing hands at the keys in person. One of the only persons whose hands I saw "blur" as he he raced up and down the keyboard, but each note was clearly delineated. Amazing talent, and ge communicates feeling. Marcus Roberts "Prayer for Peace"

Lost in Space (reboot) Season 3. I really like how they remade this.

The most recent Japanese copy (UCCQ-9516) sounds pretty good.

Very good point to recognize his contributions as producer and A&R man. And I for one enjoy Nat's son's singing and playing and writing I have heard.

Thanks Kevin, I corrected it above. Worked elsewhere I posted it.
