thank you, @Referentzhunterthank you to you too.

Well I have not heard her music. I spotted the eyebrows, you know I have two passions: Music, and Beauty/Styling/Fashion, music my profession, the other stuff my "hobby" or my "necessity as a man" cause I scream over women who are beautifully styled and I also spend a lot money on clothes and cosmetica *oops*.  

 

Last night listening to Pharoah Sanders, my alltime favourite, my personal hero, and a guide to me to become a better human being. All my love to that man and his music ! "Harvest Time" soooooo beautiful, things like those let me fight with tears, anyway, complicate year, lotta emotions.......

oh interesting. There must be telepathy because I also have not listened to Mingus for much time, he was very often listened by me in the past, and I had seen him live 3 times, but now I am more into stuff like more spiritual music like late Trane, Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Albert Ayler and so on. 

But as you say it, yesterday I had listened to a Mingus album, I think an Impulse album, but not "Black Saint". 

I did not purchase the "Cornell" stuff, since I have too much from that 1964 band already, I have the Townhall, I have the 3 LP "Great Concert of Charles Mingus" and so that was enough for my tastes..... 

But I am sure it is as interesting as the others I already have. 

The 1964 Mingus material has long intrigued me--I've bought official and unofficial copies of every concert I could find, and really enjoy them.

Up early as Lucinda has an early PT appointment and I’ll soon have to shovel and clear some snow. But first a little listening.

Something very different than my last listen, Ben Pollack Vol. 3, on Jazz Oracle cd.

White guy jazz from a band that often had some great players White guy jazz from a band that often had some great players (this volume for example has Jack Teagarden and Jimmy McPartland). An acquired taste perhaps but I acquired the taste last century and rely on this type of music to boost my spirits. And Jazz Oracle always has incredible sound quality for music of this vintage.

Oded Tzur on tenor saxophone, Shai Maestro on piano, Petros Klampanis on bass and Ziv Ravitz on drums. Each member makes great contributions to intriguing compositions.

Well it’s cold but we dodged a bullet and didn’t get snow overnight that was predicted, so I just cleaned up the car a bit in preparation for a brunch with Texas in-laws that are here for just one more day.

Revisiting disc 2 of this excellent new reissue of two Bill Evans albums and many alternates/outtakes. God bless the Plangent Process–I did a brief comparison with an SACD of one of these albums and there’s a subtle improvement in stability and spaciousness on this new release.

I’m following up with a bit of never before heard by me Yes from the expanded reissue cd of “Tormato.” Yes is one of the few rock bands I still give a listen to, and I never realized until last week that they had included nearly another album of never before released material on this “Tormato” reissue. Nice stuff! I’m excited about the big deluxe edition of “Tales From Topographic Oceans” coming next year–that is my favorite Yes release.
