I have never been a fan. . . but that does not at all seem an "unreasonable" price for a 19 cd set (220-230 that I have seen).

Thanks. Me too! Hope we don't get snow until I do. .. shoveling snow in this cold (15 to 25 degree F highs) is not going to help.

No need to apologize, just wondered. I'm fighting off a cold and not at my best yesterday and today.

He's a "trumpeter". I didn't notice that cut and paste typo, thought you were questioning the first name or such. Sorry. Doesn't seem funny to me. From the discogs page: Jazz trumpet player and songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY, grandson of Chico O'Farrill, son of composer and pianist Arturo O'Farrill and pianist Alison Deane, brother of percussionist Zack O'Farrill.

Now Monday Michiru "Brasilified" ? It is funny that I "typo'd" the word "typo."

I don't do surround sound. Never appealed to me. I seriously doubt that would change my reaction to this music. I'm aware of the work and intention. I just don't like film music, and this seems to be film music to me.

Monday Michiru "Brasilified Nights"

Arne Domnérus “Best Of Dompan” Bonnier 2 cd set disc 1 Very pretty music. Domnerus has a beautiful tone.

Another Blue Note. . . this one the “Collector’s Choice” Blue Note issue that reissues the first US cd. Andrew Hill “Black Fire” This one and “Smoke Stack” rival each other as “my favorite” Hill. Whichever I am playing is my favorite!

NOT a tupo. https://www.discogs.com/artist/4269132-Adam-OFarrill 9 degrees. The old dog and this old dog really did not want to step outside. Was rewarded with the sight of four deer though. Starting off with a release I’m trying again. Bob Belden “Black Dalia” Blue Note SACD I’ve not been crazy about this release in the past. Found the SACD cheap and . . . well it sounds good, I guess I’m warming to the music a bit more. It resembles a soundtrack, and I’m not crazy about soundtracks. . . I’m trying to experience it in a different way.

I tried this one again, and took it out about 2/3 of the way through. The production kept rubbing me the wrong way. Just too much dub as well for me. Ruby Garcia “The Source” 450×450 64 KB Moved on to music I truly, deeply love. Charles Mingus “East Coasting” Bethlehm/Solid Recrods Japan cd 2024
