Gerry Mulligan, "The California Concerts" TOCJ Superbit Jazz Classics cd from Japan.

bump

I love this session. And I love the Japanese RVG version so much, it turns out I have 2 copies!

"Artemis" Blue Note cd You can tell that Ms Rosnes is in this group from the first seconds. Good stuff so far!

Fernanda Cunha "Olhos de Mar" Were I a drinking man, an expresso martini would be at hand.

Pops and ticks can non-LP be. These may well be from collector tapes (?) Squatty Roo is surely not a legit label, even if they have a great label name.

"Debris," I'm caught up. A nice new venture from some who brought us "Fringe," which I really enjoyed. This one is getting going, both getting better in some ways, and in others. . .oh well.

the Ben Thomas Group "Triskaidekaphobia" I'm enjoying exploring Ben Thomas' cds.

Again. Sounding so good. SFJazz Collective "Original Compositions & Works of Thelonious Monk" disc 2

SFJazz Collective "Original Compositions & Works of Thelonious Monk" disc 2 The original compositions featured on this tour are very good. Sound is great as well.

+1 We all read in the best places apparently.

Jovino Santos Neto and Mike Marshall "Serenata--the Music of Hermeto Pascoal" Adventure Music Wonderful music for a cool morning.

Gene Russell "New Direction" Black Jazz Records/Real Gone Music cd This came out on cd months after the LP reissue. Worth the wait. I think of this one as "The 3 Black Jazz Sounds" . . .

I listened to disc 4 of this great set twice between yesterday and today (stolen moments! I usually don't get to listen much at all over the weekend.+ Jo Jones on the first session is just so easy breezy and dancing with grace and draws my attention. And on the second session Arvell Shaw commands with his drive and full sound, he was playing with Armstrong as well still at this time and that energy is brought right here. Teddy Wilson is just astonishingly good on these Verve trio recordings. He makes everything sound so easy, you miss the reworkings of the harmony that just swim in waves and his entire performance of a tune is a calculated journey that one can enjoy on so many levels. I kept thinking of Thelonious Monk here too. . .something in the way his two hands interacted and the simmering that leads into a run up or down the keyboard. . . . The earliest Monk I have heard reminded me of Wilson, and Duke. . . . There's no vacuum packing in jazz, things seep in and out. Next up is this, the second one I have bought of this trio. I just love Berger--and I hear a lot of harmelodic influence here, but that is also possibly the sonority of Blackwell's past-present-future battery of beats.

Another bump

Released just over 51 years ago. Makes me feel old remembering how young I was when I first encountered this release and what it has meant on my musical journey all these years. Miles Davis "Bitches Brew" disc 2 Sony quad/stereo SACD release

Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra "The Abyssinian Mass" Been too long since I spun this one. Sure makes the system sweat a bit! And has some very moving portions, at least for me

Freddie Hubbard "Straight Life" CTI King Japan "50th Anniversary" cd

The Thelonious Monk Quartet "Monk's Dream" Mobile Fidelity SACD Music I love in excellent sound.

Donald Byrd (with Pepper Adams) "At the Half Note Cafe, Vol. 1" Final RVG Edition Japan cd Jazz at the Waterfront! Great working band workin' it!

How well I know. I have a hard time being civil to certain in-laws.

I am not a twitter person, thanks. I didn't know that about her political views, didn't get that sense from her facebook page. I'm a huge fan. Sad if she fell down the Q rabbit hole.

???? Cassandra Wilson and Q? Now playing It's been a while since I listened to this classic . . . this time it's the mono Platinum SHM-CD Superb sound.

Chet Baker, Art Pepper, Phil Urso et al "Pictures of Heath," Pacific Jazz/Sony Superbit Jazz Classics lp facsimile cd with Carl Perkins, Curtis Counce, Lawrence Marable--a super group.

I bought one a few weeks ago and have it for sale as I bought it in error thinking that it was the cd set. I paid 103 for it and am offering it for sale for 100 including media mail in the US. It's listed in Offering and Looking For. What a great series of discs from TOCJ. I bought one a few weeks ago and have it for sale as I bought it in error thinking that it was the cd set.
