Here is an image I took during a rehearsal for the concert.

This is great! Thanks for sharing. Did you attend the performance too?

That´s really a treasure, Dizzy Gillespie Quintet with Leo Wright and Lalo Schifrin 1961 in Germany. This is from the SWR archives.

Great tunes: The Mooche, Con Alma, I can´t get started, Kush, and a feature for Leo Wright on flute "Willow Weep for Me".

I didn't know about that one.  The Gillespie quintet with Schifrin and Wright will always have a special place in my heart, with Gillespiana/Carnegie Hall Concert being my first jazz album. 

Now playing:

I can understand why Howlin' Wolf didn't like it.

I find myself liking it a quite a bit of very much.

The day over:

The Pepper is a 1986 Japan CD, which sounds great. I wish all Blue Notes were recorded that way ....

CD2 - ‘Waiting’. A very appropriate title for our times..

Some of this stuff points towards Blood Ulmer's more "rootsy" excursions, some towards other things yet to come.

I get that it was a "commercial calculation", and a few moments sound tacked on gratuitously, but....damn, so be it. It happened, and you can't unhappen it.

Sorry, Mr. Wolf. It's a damn good record.

I found a signed copy a few years ago.

[jazzbo]

Bob Dylan "50th Anniversary Collection: 1970" disc 1

I bought a bootleg copy of this. . . just before they announced it was to be officially released. Took forever for USPS to get it to me.

Me too. Turn on your TV. US capitol breached. If that's political, too bad. Sad day for our country.

[jazzbo]

Yes me too. If you ask several people who know me well you'd find I told them I suspected some sort of dire stuff like this would happen today. Most didn't share my prediction.

For some reason, I expected it earlier than this and not quite in this form.  I don't know how or if the country can approach any kind of normalcy after this.
