Right now

Miles Davis "Blue Haze". Sometimes I like to listen to those old pre-quinted Davis recordings. The strange thing is, that the sessions are not chronologically.

On "Blue Haze" you have "April" which is from the session with Dave Schildkraut, and the remainder tracks from that session where Miles sounds a bit strange with the cup mute are on the second half of "Walkin". And the tracks with Monk and Milt Jackson are splitted among "Bags Groove" and "Miles DAvis and the Modern Jazz Giants".

I have all the records, but when I heard them first, they were (not completely) on 2-LP Prestige sets with some strange covers (Miles in the 70s boxing, not related to the early 50´s music).

I've often wondered why there has never  been a single cd  release of all the music (plus chatter) from the Monk/Jackson session.

Superb Mary Lou!

I love solo piano sessions. This is part of reissues entitled Chiaroscuro Jazz Classics that I discovered through CD Japan. There are about 15 of them. If anyone is interested, search Cdsol-45446 through cdsol-45460.

American IV:  The Man Comes Around.  This was the fourth and final album of Johnny Cash's American Recordings tracks to be issued in his lifetime and for me, it is the best.  It contains his hit version of "Hurt", and as good as that was, for me, the real highlights are elsewhere.  Whether it be his versions of more recent rock songs like "Personal Jesus" or "I Hung My Head" or Johnny Cash revisiting a classic like "Give My Love To Rose" (arguably the saddest tale ever sung) or  his moving versions of chestnuts like "Danny Boy" and the poignant closing tack "We'll Meet Again", this album is packed with great music.  The only track I could live without is "Desperado", a song I've never cared for and which is made all the more mundane following as it does in the wake of the quasi-religious experience here that is "Danny Boy".
