Some excellent Woody Shaw on this, his last studio date (rec. 1987). He never stopped getting better.

I was reviewing the charts on jazzweek and noticed a name I haven't seen since 2003.  Lolly was living in MA at the time, I think a recent grad of New England Conservatory of Music.  We hired her band to play for my wedding out on Block Island, RI.  She had to bring all her gear by ferry, the morning after a hurricane.  Seas were a bit rough but the ferries starting running in time for all to arrive, some a bit queasy.   I'm thrilled to see she's still making music.

The wonderful 3rd album of Curtis Fuller for BN.

And Curtis playing with Bud on the second half of Bud´s album.

I think this is the first 2020 album I've heard, and very nice, too! Must keep it in mind for the "best of the year" lists in 10+ months' time. Interesting contrast between Rupert and Garzone whose primary influences sound like Getz and Coltrane, respectively, yet both sound very contemporary. Mr Rupert seems to be going places; I hadn't heard of him a few months ago, but have now heard him on three recordings recently.

The square top X of 2020. In that case, should the square root of X be a natural number? Or does it list X^2 albums?

I should have heard it on Sunday, which was 02022020.

I just re-listened to Joe Chambers' The Almoravid, yesterday's entry on my 70s jazz blog, PLAYING FAVORITES.

Analogue Productions Hybrid SACD.

[Chuck Nessa]

My wife got an impromptu opportunity to have dinner with two of her sisters, so rather than be in the midst of that gabfest I stayed home and am spinning a few discs.

Two are ones that arrived in the mail today, both SACDs from Analogue Productions of Blue Note titles:

Dexter Gordon, "Dexter Calling"

Hank Mobley, "Workout"

And in between a disc I finally found that was drifting around elusively in my shelves that I wanted to spin, Buell Neidlinger "Blue Chopsticks: A Portrait of Herbie Nichols"

Disconcerting that Analogue Productions' Prestige stereo Hybrid SACD release program has ground to a halt. I really want the remaining Eric Dolphy and Booker Ervin titles. If they are cancelled I'll be upset.
