Works wonderfully for me, I think it's a great album. Because of Gil, we have all these great Blue Note recordings by RVG, so glad he "hipped" Lion to RVG. Now. . . . The cold is back! Yesterday afternoon about 5 while I was just getting going restoring all my collection to the newly re-painted and re-furbished bedroom downstairs. . . Lucy fell in the living room and dislocated her left shoulder. Four hours spent in the ER got it back in place. . . it was so awful to see her in so much pain for too long but she’s sleeping comfortably right now. Hopefully she’ll be taking it easy, and I can complete the task of putting all the piles of books and cds and LPs into the shelving again today. Really miss listening. . . starting today off with a new arrival, the excellent In and Out cd of Randy Weston Big Band, “Montreux Jazz Festival 1985”–the third of the new Weston releases to hit my home. It sounds great!
