Jerry Garcia Band "Don't Let Go" Grateful Dead Records 2 cd set, disc 1 A great band that worked together a while, this is the May 12, 1976 concert from the Orpheum, San Francisco. Jerry is playing a Travis Bean guitar here. . . .

Romain Pilon “Colorfield” Whirlwind Records cd A guitar led quartet with some cool sax work from Walter Smith III.

Dave Hamblett “Light at Night” Whirlwind cd I forgot how lovely this cd is. Forward thinking but not jagged. Nicely arranged, performed and engineered.

Miles Davis “Kind of Blue” Columbia reissue LP 180 gram Beautiful sounding LP.

Ahmad Jamal “Emerald City Nights: Live At The Penthouse (1966-1968)” Jazz Detective/Elemental 2 cd set, disc 1 These Jamal releases from the Penthouse are all excellent–the playing draws me rigth in. Surprisingly well-recorded also.

Aaron Parks “Little Big III” Blue Note cd Pianist Aaron Parks, guitarist Greg Tuohey, bassist David Ginyard Jr. and drummer Jongkuk Kim. A quartet recording co-led by a guitarist. . . interesting, well-recorded 21st century jazz.

Another cool and quiet morning. Starting off with some Gary Peacock that is new to me, in Marc Copland’s trio. Marc Copland “Modinha” NY Trio Vol 1 w/Gary Peacock, Bill Stewart, Pirouet cd 400×360 38 KB Marc Copland 300×225 3.6 KB

“Sweet Blossom Dearie” Fontana/Universal Japan lp facsimile SHM-CD

Boogaloo Joe Jones "Snake Rhythm Rock" Prestige LP Rusty Bryant! Any album he is on he's a highlight.

I'd welcome a Malik box. (I had the [Ahmed] box and sold it off--was not my thing).

“Stan Getz in Stockholm” Verve LP Stan Getz - tenor saxophone Bengt Hallberg - piano Gunnar Johnson - bass Anders Burman - drums Recorded in Stockholm around December, 1955 Just recuperated from a serious bout of pleurisy and pneumonia this is a mellow Getz, very nice.

Duke Ellington and his Orchestra “In Grona Lund 1963” Storyville 2 cd set, disc 2

A bit warmer this morning. Slept in. . . a lot of fresh air with like minds yesterday had me worn out enough. Re-listening to this excellent album to start the day. I love the way it is recoded and the playing is very entertaining.

Arturo O’Farrill “Live in Brooklyn” I love this disc! Just a TRIP.

Not sure how to describe this other than it’s James’ music. Funky, rock, jazzy, hip. .. I like it. Jose James “New York 2020” disc 2

Les McCann “Never a Dull Moment– Live from Coast to Coast (1966-1967)” Resonance Records 3 cd set, disc 1 These sets of trio recordings are a very rewarding listen, for me. Nicely recorded and mastered–not pristine studio recordings, but nicely rendered live recordings.

As I understand it the law has changed since that order was placed.

Some favorite music, known for decades in edited form, a prayer was answered and it was released in unedited form Miles Davis “The Bootleg Series Vol. 3: Miles At The Fillmore 1970” disc 2, “Thursday Miles” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 300×272 9.85 KB

The last un-listened to disc in the "Enjoying the Ride" box set from the Grateful Dead. Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA (5/1/81) disc 3

A little warmer this morning, and it will be warmer still later this morning and this afternoon, which is good for the planned outdoor event. Starting off with a cd that I have neglected, and I realize I have yet to watch the Blu-ray in this set, need to correct that! Wes Montgomery “The NDR Hamburg Studio Recordings” Jazzline cd and Blu-ray set

Yes! I pre-ordered last week.
