Trying to be attentive to my wife’s needs now that she is home and re-establish some normalcy for us. Sneaking in a liten to Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Paul Motian “The Old Country” ECM Japan UHQCD. 300×269 8.53 KB

Gheorghe, Sorry to hear that about your wife, I know how much you loved her. My first wife died when we were both 52, after a two plus year long battle with cancer, and that too was too young. I was lucky to find love again--love is the one thing I've been lucky in when my thirties finally came around. My nightmare is sort of over. . .except now there is about four or five weeks of my wife's recuperating where I will be the nurse. I'm up for it.

I finally got a bit more time with the new Silver. I like it a lot. Especially "Sayonara Blues"--Everyone is great there. . . but JOE. Wow.

Not yet, it's a mess.

A lot of badness happening here right now, I got two tracks in and won't be listening to anything for a spell. Sound is good.

Well 24 hours a personal nightmare began and today will be wiping up aftereffects and a few actions that are going to be datytime nightmares for me. Just time to sneak in a partial listen to

A sort of reissue of a release, yes. Discussion here begins:

I don't know why this happens, nothing I can do about it I am afraid.

I don't have a lot of personal experience with "roller rink" organ but it sounded that way to me earlier in my jazz journey, but doesn't sound nearly as "awful" now.

That's not how I would describe the organ sound, but I see why one might.

Great album I've had on cd for nearly 20 years. "As entertaining as it is educational" indeed.

Tom Harrell “Roman Nights” High Note cd

Amanda Brecker “Blossom” A cd by the daughter of Randy Brecker and Eliane Elias. I picked it because it was the cheapest I could find and wanted to check her out. A very singer songwriter pop vibe. I think I would like her Brazilian music album better. 500×500 22 KB

That means that the analog tape was transferred to digital, and then that tape was used to master the LP. Which means it is not an all analog LP which is what many buyers want and is not going to sound the same as an all analog LP.

Impex Records is a well-known and respected audiophile label. Their gold cd of "Ellington Indigos" is one of my very favorite discs. They have also done an INCREDIBLE SOUNDING SACD of "Getz/Gilberto." Their LP releases get great praise, I haven't bought any as I'm not buying recent reissue LPs.

I haven’t spun this one in a while and it is a good one. Ku-Umba Frank Lacy with Mingus Big Band “Mingus Sings” Sunnyside cd

Dan he clearly says it was mastered from digital files! Doesn't bother me--I'm not buying the LPs but his "there's digital and then there's digital" phrase is. . . wonky. I think he is trying to stress there is limited digital editing, but he should have tried again.

A third rainy day seems ahead. Memphis not happy about it. Lots of falling leaves. Starting off with Dave Brubeck “Jackpot” Sony cd. Not essential perhaps due to a less than stellar piano and instrumental balance that could have beeb better, but tunes not usually played.

On to Miles Davis Quintet “Live In Europe 1967 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 1)” Sony Blu-Spec CD box set, cd 3 This is not my favorite year of live Miles, but still some great music.

Cold and wet, not yet raining but expecting rain all day. Re-listening to this to start off the day–it is SO good! Dave Holland Big Band “What Goes Around” ECM cd
