I haven't yet become bored and desperate enough to even sample "Rubberband." There's a slim chance this news is premature and may change. We can hope.

I honestly think the estate may have thrown a wrench in the works somehow.

Kenny Dorham "Quiet Kenny" XRCD

Disc 2, Art Pepper "Artworks" from this box set.

Supposedly an upcoming Alfa Romeo 2021 GTV. I wouldn't mind owning an Alfa again. . . won't happen though. Lovely car.

"Jam Session in Swingville featuring Coleman Hawkins & Pee Wee Russell" OJC cd.

Oh gosh I can hardly read comments anywhere any longer. Not unless I want to be misanthropic and lose a lot of sleep.

"Watchmen," HBO, Episode 1. I dig it.

Erroll Garner "Dream Street"

Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald at the Cote D'Azur, disc 1

It was either Miles Davis "Nefertiti" or "Miles Davis at Fillmore." I had returned from Africa to small town rural NE Ohio and was miserable. Didn't know a lot of the music that my peers were listening to and on the radio and didn't like that much of it. Explored the library and found "Filles de Kilimanjaro" and "In A Silent Way" and that was the ticket. Within a few months I had my own copies of those, and "Nefertiti," "Miles Davis at Fillmore" and "Bitches Brew," I think in that order.

I'm enjoying it too. Nicely done so far. I enjoyed the second season of Lodge 49 and hope it comes back. I'm looking forward to Watchmen.

No watch for me since the mid-seventies.* I was working building machinery at that time and kept breaking crystals on the watches I wore. Just stopped wearing a watch and have always done fine without one. Life is nice without one. *One exception: I got the Blue Note watch after sending in the requisite Connoisseur OBIs. Wore it a while. . . I just wasn't feeling wearing a watch (in my then office work world I wasn't breaking crystals, but I just didn't need to wear one and I preferred a bare wrist).

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "Moanin'" Blue Note Japan UHQCD

Listening to "Artworks," the second disc in the Art Pepper "Promise Kept" box set of the complete Artist House recordings. Nice clarinet playing!

NOW 55 dollars including media mail postage within the continental USA. USA sales only please.

Greg Osby, "Inner Circle" Blue Note cd. This one continues to grow on me.

Goro Ito/Jacques Morelenbaum "Rendezvous in Tokyo" I've had this cd on repeat as I pop in and out and listen this weekend, experiencing the new Windom OS for my DAC. Beautiful music, with interesting arrangements and the lovely lovely voice of the lovely Paula Morelenbaum.

This is a great date and it's too bad it's so hard to find at the moment. I wouldn't call it the "best" of the Mosaic Select as I really like all the sessions on those discs, though all the others are better than the Christmas album, which is okay but Christmas music doesn't get a lot of play here. Hutcherson makes the date special for me, and it's well-recorded.

Me too.

It's very nice. I'm not a huge Pepper fan, but this is very well-mastered and well-presented.

Miles Davis/Gil Evans "Porgy 'n Bess" Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD

This new Pepper set sounds very good. I'm not a huge Pepper fan, but these quartets are good listening.

I love this and have neglected to spin it for too long. Cassandra Wilson "Coming Forth by Day" Blue Note Japan SHM-CD

A new arrival. . . . Barney Wilen Quartet "Live in Tokyo '91" Followed by Art Pepper "So In Love" from the new "Complere Artist House Recordings" box set
