Original LP

[jazzbo]

Took a while to warm up the stereo today. We lost power sometime in the early morning and we were out a few hours. I spent part of that time messing with my Martin 00-15M which hasn’t been out of the case for a spell. Then the power came back and I spent time reseting the softener timer, oven clock, etc. A few things weren’t working so it was down in the root cellar again this time flipping fuses. . . two were tripped. Sigh. Luckily no damages, everything is functioning but by then Lucinda was awake and we were eating and watching the news etc.

Started off with Duke Ellington on Nimbus, “From His Treasure Chest 1965 - 1972” . . . some stockpile recordings, some with Wild Bill Davis on organ.

 

Then on to an SACD received yesterday, a new reissue of my favorite Joni Mitchell album.

Joni Mitchell “Hejira” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD

Dizzy says “And now ladies and gentlemen, the greatest. . . the KING. . . Louie Armstrong, Satchmo!”

Great sound on this All Star event.

After spinning a couple of his LPs, I'm now listening to this Jimmy Heath CD:

The Time and the Place (Landmark, rel. 1994)
with Curtis Fuller, Pat Martino, Stanley Cowell, Sam Jones, Billy Higgins & Mtume

Recorded in 1974, this music sat on the shelf for twenty years (!) before getting released.

My favorite Joni album as well! Something so spell-like about it, and filled with gorgeous songs and stories. Also strikes me as a haunting coda to the Rolling Thunder Revue in all its white-line glory. 
Re the Ellington, has the private collection material on that Nimbus been issued before, as part of the 10-CD series that came out on Atlantic (iirc) at one point?

Jaco's crowning achievement imo. I'm not really a big fan of his, but Joni taned that beast.

Yes, "Hejira" has a fascinating aura about it, and the story-telling seems so true and vivid, in a way that the stories in "Blood on the Tracks" seem so real and experienced.

I do not believe that the "stockpile" material in the Nimbus disc appears in any of the "Private Collection."

This new CD contains 15 such recordings made between 1965 and 1972. They are said to be "previously unissued" but they were actually first released in 1991 by the MusicMasters label.

That's a very good record too.

 

[jazzbo]

Right, this is a reissue of a Music Masters cd.
