Jangeun Bae Trio "Go" (featuring Greg Osby)

Yes. But to my wife she'll always be Chupalcabra Paprika. Other than having the bad taste to marry a Jonas Brother, I think she's quite something.

My wife teases me because I once mentioned I think this woman is very beautiful. She refers to her as Chupalcabra Paprika

I managed both of my parents health for over two years from a half a mile away. . . it was still really really hard, I had no life of my own. But I'm glad I did it. I'm so glad my Mom ws able to have a peaceful passing, and that my Dad is so well-situated where he is now, even preaching again once a month in the chapel, and serving as "new resident greeter and orientation" for assisted living. He really blossomed again.

Honestly my favorite of this decade is Jose Jame "Yesterday I had the Blues--The Music of Billie Holiday." Wonderful ftio backing James, James does a very interesting job, excellent recording.

That's not happening on the great sounding new cd reissue from Japan (but then they are likely using a different tape?)

I have the live two cd set and love the work of the trio supporting Ambrose. Ambrose himself doesn't impress me that much. . . can't really get into his playing.

Yes, it's too bad. Their performance of a number on the Bell Telephone Hour is a gas! I've had this cd since it was released a long time ago. It's not the bee's knees. . . . No substitute for what would be the real thing if the Orchestra had recorded it all.

Duke Ellington "Ellington Indigos" Impex gold cd. This is such an exquisitely engineered album. From microphone placement to reverb this is so carefully crafted to suit and support the wonderful music. Coleman Hawkins and his All-Stars "Swingville" OJC cd. This is such a swinging session. The way that Wendall Marshall is recorded just makes it so. Joe and Vic do some whack playing here. Maybe there was one too many bottles on a sideboard in the studio. Regardless, Hawk is so authoritative and Tommy so fluid and full of ideas. . . Man I dig it.

Yes, the articles linked to in this thread mention that it was recorded by RVG.

Duke Ellington "Live at Newport 1956" (Complete), disc 2 Followed by George Benson, "Benson Burner" disc 1

Elsewhere it is said that this tape actually came from the filmmakers. Would seem likely that they had "masters" and that it was indeed recorded in mono. Mono was still prevalent in film playback then, and I bet RVG enjoyed producing a mono master.

Listened to this one again, Jimmy Smith with Stanley Turrentine, Prayer Meetin'--the new cd from Blue Note Japan. Wow. Followed by Peggy Connelly Peggy Connelly on Bethlehem, Verse Music Group cd. Nice band and arrangements but overall. .. meh. Finally, Lonnie Smith, Live at Club Mozambique, a Blue Note Rare Groove cd.

On the main system, three great sounding Blue Note cds released in Japan the last few months: "Kenny Burrell and John Jenkins"--a bright recording that sounds much better in this incarnation than the previous US version. Big John Patton "Accent on the Blues" . . . a young James "Blood" Ulmer, before the "Blood" and playing some awesome guitar. Jimmy Smith "Prayer Meeting" . . . Stanley Turrentine is so good on this, and the group really is arranged to showcase the dynamics that they can provide. And on the headphone system (my CSP2+ with Anniversary mods was returned yesterday from a checkup) Sal Salvador, the Connoisseur Blue Note cd US that presents his 10" sessions:

Yes.

"Second Winter" is a fantastic record. Winter is on film within the bonus material of the deluxe version of the Woodstock blu-ray. Interesting to me is that he is playing a Fender twelve string electric, strung with six strings, which probably does have an interesting sonic effect.

Someone grab them! They are both great sets, I really enjoy my copies.

Vol. 2 is my favorite of the two. Japan reissued both volumes on cd last month, as well as The African Beat.

Listened to a 24/192 file (via DVD-R) of Hank Mobley's "Soul Station." Sounds good, but this album ALWAYS sounds good. Followed by Antonio Carlos Jobim "Tide" Japanese Verve cd.

Stan Getz "Getz au Go Go" Verve cd

Just ordered my Dad's latest book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1083001590 Co-authored in '67 with his Amharic tutor Fisseha Demoze when he was an Assistant Director with the Peace Corps and we lived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The only known translation of numerous Amharic proverbs into English. Now both seniors my Dad and Fisseha worked together to get this polished up and published and it went on sale today. I'm so proud of my Dad. He has published a biography of my great great great great great grandfather David Tannenberg, colonial organ builder, and four books on Civil War era figures, three of whom he was the first to research in depth, and two books on ministers and ministering. He has one massive biography still to publish, it's completed, but he hasn't yet found a publisher for the 800 page biography of Father Taylor of Boston. I hope this last one does get published. He's 87 now and its his fondest wish. . . .
