We had about fifteen hours without snow! The. snow started back up about an hour ago, and should last through the afternoon and then though we’ll have very cold days we should get a respite for a spell from precipitation. Got to watch and listen thorugh the downstairs audio/visual system for a while and now I’m in front of the main system upstairs and listeneing to “Pictures of Heath” on Toshiba Super Bit Jazz Classic lp facsimile cd.

In from some more shoveling. This cup of Ruta Maya coffee tastes really good! Listening to Roy Hargrove “Earfood” Emarcy Japan SHM-CD

I got a tracking number six days ago. . .still no shipment! I'm patient I guess. . . .

I'm canceling another picnic in the side yard.

Eddie Condon “Jazz as it Should be Played” Jazzology cd 500×500 28.5 KB Bass – Bill Goodall Clarinet – Tommy Gwaltney Cornet – Wild Bill Davison Drums – Frank Marshall Guitar – Eddie Condon Narrator – Eddie Condon Piano – Don Ewell Trombone – George Brunies December 1. 1968 Place: Manassas Jazz Festival

We have had about 13" in the last 24 hours, and I've attacked it with shovel three times, kept it to an accessible and exit-able status with effort. Actually, I confess it feels good. Now I have earned a break to listen.

Starting off with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers “3 Blind Mice, Volume 1” Blue Note cd.

Eliane Elias “Quietude” Candid cd

Yes, I'm aware. But he did not have anywhere near as big a role in "Straight No Chaser" than in "Bird," that was the only point I was trying to make. Right now This disc is too short, because it’s so wonderful and should be so much longer! Mario Adnet “Para Gershwin e Jobim”

Pepper Adams “Urban Dreams” Palo Alto cd With Jimmy Rowles, George Mraz, Billy Hart

He was far more involved in "Bird." Right now

As it’s his birthday today, I decided to dig out this 2 cd set of piano and electric bass guitar duets featuring his music. “Piano: Tom Jobim Por Fabio Caramuru” disc 2

“Stan Getz in Stockholm” Verve cd Getz was possibly never prettier sounding than on this European jaunt. Nice music to watch gentle snowfall by.

It's a very different movie than "Bird," and I don't really see Eastwood's "hand" here.

Ir'a really Charlotte Zwerin's documentary, but Eastwood's company was involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelonious_Monk:_Straight,_No_Chaser

Duke Ellington “Jazz Party in Stereo” Columbia stereo LP Timeless beauty in these grooves.

Waiting for the storm to come. . . we haven’t had much at all so far. Hope we don’t lose power! That’s my biggest fear. I’m stocked up and will deal with the shoveling in shifts. . . just hope to keep the household calm. Starting off with a nice Eliane Elias cd, “Everything I Love” on Blue Note. 300×296 8.84 KB

Graham Collier “New Conditions” Disconforme cd

John Mayall “The Latest Edition” Polydor 580×572 126 KB Bass Guitar – Larry Taylor Drums, Percussion – Soko Richardson Lead Guitar – Hightide Harris*, Randy Resnick Saxophone, Flute – Red Holloway Vocals, Harmonica, Twelve-String Guitar [Slide], Piano, Organ, Vibraphone – John Mayal Recorded at Angel City Sound in Los Angeles during March and April 1974. From this box set: The First Generation 1965-1974

To my way of thinking you are entitled to do with these what your will and conscience allows. I like their releases--the sound quality is really really good and the music is great.

Now on to this great UHQCD from 2019 Wynton Kelly “Piano Interpretations By Wynton Kelly” Blue Note Japan

-5 degrees out. . . Snow expected tomorrow, but none today, though some wouldn’t surprise me the way weather forecasting has fallen a bit short lately! I decided to start the day off with Grant Green “Idle Moments,” the Blue Note 85th Anniversary UHQCD from Japan. Sure sounds nice!

Wanted to hear some Joel Ross. So “The Parable of the Poet” Blue Note cd A new Joel Ross release is due next Friday. 1000×1000 398 KB

“We Dig Dixieland Jazz” Savoy/Denon cd, re-issuing an lp compiling an Eddie Condon session and a Sidney Bechet session.
