This is your idea of taking a break from football?

Looks sort of like the Bears playbook with Ben Johnson at the helm.

[Dub Modal]

No. 408 from ZIM is mind blowing. Listening to the entire album on headphones is recommended.

Digging into this treasure chest:

The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973)
Disc 15

In 1957 Hank Mobley recorded 5 albums as a leader for Blue Note. I dig all of them.That period is very appealing to me for a few reasons. One is no modal tunes, second is no boog-a-lou or otherwise commercially oriented tunes.

This album is a beauty. The tune "Bag's Groove" has been recorded numerous times. The version here is one of my favorites. Bill Hardman's trumpet solo is, to my ears PERFECT. Then Sonny Clark and Mobley play ideally within this idiom.

I should give them a try again. 

I have them but at some certain point they started to bore me because I started to get bored by the hard bop style and kept only stuff like "Soul Station" on my current playlist. 

But for some small hours listening when I lay down and close my eyes to relax a bit before falling asleep it might be nice again.

A very good bebop record. So many don´t know Miles before the "First Quintet" but he was strong between 1949-1951 doing almost as quick and fast like Diz or Fats, but all his own. Very fine. And he had the best players, Jackie McLean, Sonny Rollins, J.J. Johnson, Art Blakey.....I also like the 1951 Birdland recordings very much.

I love it. I love music that is like a prayer, like this one or ascension or Pharoah Sanders "The Creator..." or Alice Coltrane, it really inspires me, though I am a devout polytheist, but very religious in that manner......

I am sitting here comfortably in a way I haven’t since Wednesday or so. . .with a new furnace heating the house, all the house. The expense is going to be crippling in some ways in the year ahead, but the comfort and sense of security against the weather seems worth it right now. The former furnace lasted 27 years. . . I hope I get more than half of those years out of this one.

Starting off a listening with disc 2 of this new release, Thelonious Monk “Bremen 1965” – a truly nice 2 cd release from Sunnyside.
