The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings

 

I’m on disc 3 now of this 39 disc collection. I’m sort of 1/13th of the way through! 

I like the solo and duet tracks with Joan best so far.

39 discs?! That is a LOT of Dylan!!

I searched for this years ago and never found a copy. I see that it's available for download on Amazon.

Better cover picture there...

On to Miles Davis “Water Babies” Sony SRCS 9736 cd. I remember when this came out on LP, it was so exciting, and it sounded so good. Still does.

It joins the other LOT of Dylan I have. It is certainly enough from that tour for me. Though. . . some rehearsals would be nice.

Beautiful Jobim music with a fresh presentation.

D'Andrea is certainly an interesting player; I’ll admit I only know his work from the 60s-early 80s.

Cold again. . . that will be the normal very soon. I guess I’m ready for winter. Maybe not. Will be interesting to see how Tobi reacts to the snow, this is the first winter we have had this super mutt.

Starting off the day with Helen Merrill “Carousel” Finlandia cd. . . one of the most recently acquired Merrills, with orchestration but also swinging gently.

Helen Merrill 1996 recorded with the Tapiola Sinfonietta and arranged by Torrie Zito.

I enjoy these little blog-like entries about your weather, the dog Tobi, your partner's relief at the election and so on.  We are having cold and foggy mornings near Grants Pass and the winter rains are about to start washing away the gold and red leaves.

[jazzbo]

I post each morning on three other boards and there is more "conversation" going on in one of them, I just copy and paste the same info to all three about the first listens. Apologies if it is uninteresting to some. (By the way I'm equally relieved about the election results, it's just that my wife is far more vocal and expressive, or was, she's calmed somewhat).

Yeah, we've had lots of late autumn rain, and wind, more than usual it seems, and about 85% of the beautiful fall leaves are gone from the trees. I suspect the snow will come soon and stay for four months or more--even for NE Ohio we get a lot of snow, considerably more than my brothers do on the west side of Cleveland for example. As a retiree, and my wife now retired as well, I am less phased by winter as I don't have to prepare her car and clear the deck and driveway every workday and just enjoy the sylvan beauty. But. . . when there's no snow. . . the acres of bare trees and gray sky surrounding us. . . becomes depressing. So I enjoy the snow as it transforms the landscape to a beautiful view.

Now something different . . . Miles Davis “The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions” Columbia 5 cd box set, disc 5

I love “The Mask,” which was part of my favorite sections of “Miles Davis at Fillmore”. . . I was so excited to see it included in two versions here on this box set.
