Woke up to the sound of an owl hotting nearby in one of our trees. Always makes me happy to hear that! Gearing up to stand in the cold for hours today along with thousands nation-wide. . . I know I’ll wish it were warmer!

Starting off with:

Randy Weston with Monty Alexander “Montreux/Zaragoza & Ramatuelle Jazz Festivals 1988”

In & Out cd

This is as interesting a listen as I thought it would be. And sound is quite ggood as well.

No bass or drummer, just the two pianists and two percussionists.

Listening to one of the first LPs I’ve ever owned, given to me by a Peace Corps volunteer my father directed in Swaziland (now Eswatini) unwanted from a care package they all received from Atlantic Records in 1969.

It still plays and sounds wonderful!

Leo Wright “Blues Shout” Atlantic mono LP

Disc 2: Dreams and Roba part 1. So happy to have obtained this set. Challenging but very interesting music.

It was about 20 years ago when I was at a weekend jazz event in California.Rein De Graaf was attending the event as a listener, but not scheduled to perform. My good friend (the late) George Ziskind ,a fine jazz pianist ,located a room with a piano and wanted to play a bit just to keep his chops in shape. As he began to play in this mostly empty room, Rein De Graaff walked in and asked if he could also play. So for about one hour George and Rein alternated at the piano, each playing 2 tunes each time around. It was a reat treat for me to have the opportunity to hear two very good jazz pianists.

They both enjoyed it so much, that they agreed to do it again the next morning. So this was a second morning that I had a wonderful listening experience.

Rein De Graaf is very much a BEBOP oriented musician. He played many tunes those 2 morning out of the "bebop" playbook. Tunes by Bird,  Monk, Tadd and others.
