Today is the first day I really get to sit down and listen to my main system via speakers in five weeks, and also the first time I get to listen to my new transport via the speakers. 

Great sounds and a general relaxing are occurring.

I started off with Yana Purim, "Harvest Time." I love her older sister Flora Purim and there is definitely a family resemblance in the sound of her voice and phrasing. But. . . her English singing is not that great. Her Portuguese is better. . . but Flora is rightfully the one who became an international "name."

So I needed to listen to Flora Purim after this and decided to spin the LP of "Stories to Tell". . . ah, an old favorite since it was first released lo these many years ago.

Then as the Rega was spinning I listened to record 1 of Miles Davis "Big Fun" 2 LP set. Music that is in my mental musical DNA. And sounding very very good today.

Then I thought I would retry a recent release that I think has great music but not so great sound, Joe Chambers "Samba de Maracatu"

The sound is a bit better with my new transport and settings but. . . 

And right now I am spinning disc 7 of Lee Morgan "Complete Live at the Lighthouse" cd set. One of my favorite releases of the year.

Truly a joyous and entertaining release that I have always enjoyed. Two masterful singers having fun together in San Francisco.

"The Carmen McRae/Betty Carter Duets" OJC cd.
