Finally cooled down upstairs here and I’m starting off with a disc I finally bought, listening to it for the second time, and really enjoying it. Ryan Truesdell: “Centennial: Newly Discovered Works of Gil Evans” ArtistShare cd

Jerry Garcia Band “Jerry Live! Vol. 21” 2 cd set, cd 1 A great band, his '76-'77 band with Keith and Donna Godchaux, John Kahn and Ron Tutt. Jerry is playing a Travis Bean guitar here, not my favorite of his axes, but some great playing.

This one again to start the morning. Got to sleep in a bit more. . . Fiona the dachshund slept longer than usual. Duke Ellington “Copenhagen 1958 (Bonus: After Hours 1950)” Storyville cd

Duke Ellington “Copenhagen 1958 (Bonus: After Hours 1950)” Storyville cd Classic jazz done with Ellington style and grace. My kind of symphonies! It was a good night in Copenhagen, and the sound is decent.

Yes, and this new all analog 2 LP release is the best it's sounded yet.

Al Cohn, Billy Mitchell, Dolo Coker, Frank Butler “Night Flight To Dakar + Xanadu In Africa” Elemental Music 2 cd set, disc 1 (“Night Flight to Dakar”)

Saw Willie Mays play at Connie Mack Stadium when I was a lad. We lived about six blocks from the Stadium, but I only went a few times as sports was just not a thing in our family.

Wow! I haven't looked at or listened to that disc in that box set in a long time (I have two LP and two cd versions of "Indigos" outside this box). Should fix that. And "The Sky Fell Down" was included on the original mono LP release.
