Disc 1

If the infection has healed you’re not in need of any medication. They can’t do a lot about the other symptoms like temporary loss of hearing. For me it took months but I think that’s exceptional. Anyway you’ll get through it in no time probably I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

My annual physical happens to be this Wednesday (in 3 days), so I’ll definitely have her take a look. I had just a little ear pain a couple days ago, for about 2 days (seems to be gone today) — which I actually took as a good sign, that this is just a regular, run-of-the-mill ear infection. She’ll probably write me a script for some antibiotics, and I’ll be fine in 7-10 days — or so I’m hoping.

Bouncing in my head while I was tinkering with the cars outside was a tune from “The Spirit of Condon” – Louis Armstrong’s “Someday You’ll be Sorry.” I’ve learned the wisdom in that song a few times. Need something to push that tune out so. . . . “Count Basie & Friends–100th Birthday Bash” Roulette 2 cd set, disc 1 Pulled this from the shelves, a great collection of great Basie in that Roulette sound. 300×300 10.8 KB

Yes; it's well recorded and good.

A bit of a different game, but Dusty Groove seems to always have a pretty good used selection, generally cheap.

Some late Chicago Style. . . . “The Spirit of Condon” Jazzology cd Eddie Condon on board, with Wild Bill Davison and Art Hodes as well. Recorded in Manassas, VA 1971 and 1973

👍 👍

Went to see "Sentimental Value." Quiet film, nicely written, beautifully acted.

Right. Point taken, I just don't like downloads. I feel like I am buying virtually air. Just not for me. Takes the excitement out of having the actual product in your hand, I mean did you not freak finding a rare album in the cut-out bin in 1970? I can't tell you how many times I've said, "no fucking way" out loud in a store when I found the actual record/CD. Downloads for me, the thrill is gone.

I preordered, but I have to say the discography of this set sent me to my shelves to pull down my somewhat dusty old copy of George T. Simon's _The Big Bands_. There are some really obscure groups on this one! For me, that makes it more interesting, but I fear others might be put off a bit?

with Marcus Belgrave, Branford Marsalis, Kenny Kirkland, and Jeff "Tain" Watts

I get it, but I like having the product, and I'm a library man; wish the program started out more...economical. is all.

Downloads need no packaging. Storage, yes. But not packaging.

Huge Bill Evans listener, love that lay out! Need to get this....

Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Vibrations in the Village: Live at the Village Gate (Resonance)

Have a little time with the system again and this one caught my eye and called to me. I really like the first of the two “shows” released here. The sound quality is excellent, and “Round Midnight” is really interesting to hear. Bill Evans “Portraits at the Penthouse: Live in Seattle” Resonance Records cd IMG360×360 26.4 KB

Thinking ahead, which is now behind (you know, behind sight is always 50-50, lols), if we would've just started making CD's mini-lp's back in the '80's, to save space (and money, haha) we should've started this like a half a century ago, then that way, we would've saved a third of space on earth; no, keep sending on those plastic jewel cases wherever they go....

Not really a "jazz" album, but lovely and moving on its own terms:
