Listening now to this - Mabern is on fire:

I recently found a vinyl copy of "It's About Time." It's billed as by McCoy Tyner and Jackie McLean, but it seems to me like a Tyner album with McLean as part of the band. Jackie's only on 4 of the 6 tracks, and none are a showcase for him alone. It's a good album, although the SQ is sometimes funky. I think they missed an opportunity to call it McCoy and McLean.

The most obvious answer to me is the Mosaic Desmond box. Accompanied by just guitar, bass, drums; on one date, trombone, bass, drums. Sublime music. Also, be aware that while currently available, the Desmond box is now listed as "running low."

It's a great date.

Hi, Larry. I've posed a question to you in the thread about the upcoming Mosaic Tristano box: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/86711-some-previously-unreleased-lennie-tristano-is-in-the-works-now-from-stamford/&do=findComment&comment=1766264

I wonder what is Larry Kart's opinion about this set? He's very knowledgeable about Tristano, and wrote the notes for Mosaic's Tristano-Konitz-Marsh box.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Our Golden died of cancer when she was 10. It seems endemic to the breed. But they're always happy.

I always liked this track:

It's good; very enjoyable. Discussed here: https://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/84730-neil-swainson-49th-parallel/

I've never heard him, but it's notable that he has 3 albums coming out soon. Release date January 21: Release date January 7: Release date not listed:

Do they list anywhere how many sets will be made?

There's an article on her in today's NY Post. I've seen the ad and noticed the singer; I thought she sounded a lot like Stacey Kent, but determined it wasn't her. Now I know: Beverly Kenney: https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/tragic-life-of-singer-in-new-lincoln-aviator-ad-revealed/

Release date March 15; no additional info available:

When my son was little, he had many Thomas & Friends trains that look like they ran on Brio track. He still has the cars...how can you throw away Percy, Edward, et al?

I just downloaded "Lonesome Road." Could this be the reason you couldn't download when you tried? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10313465/Amazon-Web-Services-Latest-outage-comes-just-days-disruption.html

Sly and Robbie. Respect should be paid. RIP. https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/entertainment/20211208/robbie-shakespeare-sly-and-robbie-fame-has-died https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/dec/09/robbie-shakespeare-married-funk-and-reggae-to-create-a-catalogue-of-classics

The album is currently available as an mp3 download on Apple and Amazon. Here's the Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Cherokee-Jimmy-Smith/dp/B07CPT35DZ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=jimmy+smith+cherokee&qid=1639516538&s=dmusic&sr=1-3

I love GG's "Am I Blue." Think of it as having been released on Prestige's Moodsville label. But I agree that "JOS Plays Fats Waller" is a negligible date. Much too polite, which is funny considering Waller's oeuvre.

My son loves model trains. He was started in this habit by his uncle, who has loved them since being a child. My son has O, HO and N gauge, as well as Lego trains (the Lego trains have their own tracks, engines and remote). He currently focuses on N gauge. O gauge is great, but it's hard to find the area needed to set up a nice layout.

Listening now to the St. Louis December 1971 shows from the box. SQ is odd - volume sounds too low, and I really have to crank it up. Yet when I look at waveforms in Amadeus Pro, it seems the mastering is just fine. I wonder what could be causing this.

But you could have your downloaded music on your phone and listen to it with headphones.

You can download the songs only onto the Apple Music app, and only play them through the app (or through what the app allows). You can "keep" them as long as you maintain the subscription - once you stop paying, they disappear. No; you cannot in any way move the songs outside the Apple ecosphere.

RIP. While he's obviously associated with Detroit, I always thought he was a premier NYC jazz ambassador. He leaves a huge gap. Will play The Sidewinder today in his memory.

I'm curious whether the sound quality on the Zorthian's Ranch material is notably better than the earlier RLR release. If it isn't, I'd be paying an inexplicably high price for one CD's worth of tracks.
