So glad to have picked up the Sonny Rollins original albums RCA box set, and one of my favs (What's New, is right behind it) from his RCA period. Most interesting period in Sonny's career, in my opinion.  

We Three. Roy Haynes, Phineas Newborn, Paul Chambers. New Jazz. 

Earlier, Coleman Hawkins, Desafinado, Impulse!

Well the big news Thanksgiving and yesterday was we could get “feet of snow.” Usually they are correct for our hilly area as we get all the “lake effect” snow predicted. But. . . so far., and we’re nearly out of the “watch” period, we have gotten less than an inch, a nice sweetener for the view but no hindrance at all. Seems weird as we’re so used to being slammed even when they say it may not be so bad.

Relieved! Fiona has finally gone back to sleep and I felt like listening to some Dexter Gordon. Picked this set off the shelves as I have not been listening to it much at all the last decade or so.

Dexter Gordon “The Complete Prestige Recordings” disc 2 of 11–featuring Booker Ervin on one track, James Moody on the others, Jaki Byard on one track and Barry Harris on the others.

Listening to Barry Harris made me think strongly of Bud, then my mind shifted to Monk and I put in the third disc of this excellent box set:

Thelonious Monk “The Columbia Years: '62-'68”

I haven’t listened to Columbia Monk in a bit and this seemed a good way to start. Opening with the Newport performance with Pee Wee Russell sitting in is I think brilliant sequencing.

Paul Klee may have been the inspiration ...

And when he does, I'm so glad he did.  One of my favorite drummers.

Sahib Shihab “Summer Dawn” Rearward cd

I love Shihab’s work. This cd has one track in mono and “out of phase,” the rest stereo. Great music.
