The system is all warmed up and I’m treating it to a Monday Michiru that is among my favorite listens of the darkest time of this century–“Optimista” . . . talk about a percussive wall of sound.

I love this photo–I love any woman who can laugh this way.

Chilly rain. . . this will demolish what remains of the recent 13" plus of snow we had. Warm for January this morning, with a cooler front moving in this afternoon.

I decided to start the day with a Miles Davis bootleg–Miles Davis “Howlin’–Kyoto, July 15, 1964” EGHO cd. Not perfect sound, but decent, and Sam Rivers on tenor for one of his few recorded gigs with the Quintet. Interestingly this concert was recorded outside in the rain. . . so the slightly intrusive sound of the rain here, now,  is appropriate.

 

I think I have one from Japan from that time, with Rivers, maybe Tokyo, and it also has a distorted sound at the beginning, I think the tune is "If I were a Bell", something is not okay with the sound for a moment.....

This one starts off with "If I were a Bell" but not distorted.

This is a night where I have a day off, I didn´t have to play so I decided to relax at home, with some good vegan food and great music from two albums that arrived today: 

First, since I am into those things, I spinned the wonderful "Goin´Home". I love Albert Aylor, I love his spirituality in general, in another manner than Trane or my beloved Pharoah Sanders, but just beautiful and deep. 

This special mood let me go out for a walk in the small hours.

Usually I don´t comment the weather since I´m not so interested in it, but this night was special. Since we have a rare year with some snow here in Viena/Austria, I forget how beautiful the snow is in the night and enjoyed walkin in that silence...

I recaptured the music and did my prayers where I thank the Godnesses for watching over me, thank my late wife Serena whose spirit also is watchin over me, and thank the Godnesses for the great love I found with that wonderful young girl I am with....

After that, I did somethin good for me, takin a hot shower, washing my hair thats gettin longer and longer and while let it dry just with room temperatura I spinned the fantastic "Obsession". 

Well I´m so happy to hear the great Cindy Blackman here, and all those fantastic guys.
