So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

A cold morning. Of course, it’s Halloween day, it’s always at least cold here on Halloween, usually with wind and rain. . . we sit at the opening of our driveway for a few hours giving out candy. BRR. Have that to look forward to.

Starting off the day with Teddy Charles “New Directions” Prestige/OJC cd. Innovative sessions from 1951-1953. Teddy Charles (vibes, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel), Hall Overton (piano), Kenny O’Brien (bass), Don Roberts (guitar), and Ed Shaughnessy (drums). Very forward looking chamber jazz.
