So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

I was able to slip into the church before my sister's funeral and read part of the address to an empty space, it really helped come the real thing a couple of hours later.

Yes.  Very good!  Probably my favorite Kenny Burrell from the 80s.

with Ron Carter & DeJohnette.  No pianist, so it has a nice open feel.

I love it, and sometimes I listened to those three "Sky" "Filles" and "Silent Way" and of course Bitches Brew one after the other. Such a great evolution.

But I still wonder why "We Want Miles" as a great live album when Miles still played "jazz" and not "pop" is not in your "Jazz of the 80´s"....

Somehow I have the impression Grover Washington "came and went".....
In the early 80´s DB reported he shared stage with Sonny Rollins (Grover on soprano of course and I remember the commentary "or would you like to face Sonny Rollins on stage with a tenor ?).....
Someone sometimes bought me an album under his own name, it was nice easy music, but something like "background music" as it seemed to me. Nothing challenging.....

Yes I know. The bar is high for me. My Dad won a national speech making contest when he was 18 which partially funded his first few years of college. And he was a fantastic writer and deliverer of sermons. And he always took pride in how well I would make readings at a service or speak in public etc. So. . . I want to do this flawlessly, and knows that it will be okay if I don't.

You'be been there for your father during lifetime  so nothing more to be proved .... obviously easier said than done, so all the best for the festivity ....
