Starting off a fairly warm morning–36 degrees–with a bit of Brazilian breeze, Eliane Elias “Dance of Time” Concord cd. Ms Elias is such a fine piano player. And this is a very modern recording, full and rich. I had a nice dinner last night with the older of my two brothers who is undergoing a crisis I have the experience to help him with–I admit it was nice to be the older brother giving advice and a listening ear.

No commercial on this edition. And there are three seasonal songs, one Dexter alone, one as a medley to conclude the recording.

Duke Ellington “Jazz Party (In Stereo)” Columbia Jazz Masterpieces LP This is the only stereo LP I have of this title, and though it doesn’t quite match the sonic majesty of the OG Mono LP I have, it does sound pretty darned good for an LP that is probably digitally sourced (and early at that). Such magnificent music and such a masterfully engineered album. One of these days I’ll seek an early pressing of the Stereo title to partner with my Mono copy.

Dexter Gordon Quartet 'San Francisco '82" Hi Hat cd Dexter Gordon on tenor saxophone, Kirk Lightsey on piano, David Eubanks on bass, and Eddie Gladden on drums. Keystone Korner, December 1982 There are so many good live Dexter recordings. This is among them, good sound quality and Dexter is energetic.

The unique voice and styling of Shiela Jordan is a great fit for this morning. This Sheila Jordan album was 'lost" from 1960 on and is really nice. The notes say: This music was found by two collectors on a test pressing recorded in 1960. The rhythm section is unconfirmed. Sheila Jordan “Comes Love: Lost Session 1960” Capri Records cd. Possibly only 500 made?
