Arturo O’Farrill and Chuco Valdes “Familia-Tribute to Bebo and Chico” cd 1 I have been tube rolling and using Afro-Cuban Jazz and Afro-Samba jazz as that helps me distinguish differences. And the music is great.

I have most of what I want from the missing as well. I need the Sam Most. . . I really like Most's work. Maybe one day.

Nice work!

Mario Adnet/Philipp Baden Powell “Afro Samba Jazz - The Music Of Baden Powell” Adventure Music cd Re-visiting this fantastic disc. Perfect for this cool morning.

I'm not an expert on Armstrong bios, but I think this is likely the best one and is well-written indeed. Probably a good idea--I don't stream so it matters not to me, but I have been listening to Oliver and Armstrong as I read. I'm going through this book very slowly, savoring it and also reading other things.

Jason Palmer “Live From Summit Rock In Seneca Village” Bass – Edward Perez Drums – Johnathan Blake Tenor Saxophone – Mark Turner Trumpet, Written-By, Producer – Jason Palmer

Back to this one before I file it away. A favorite. Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette “Tokyo '96” ECM cd

Starting off the day with some killer guitar quartet music. Tal Farlow “The Complete Verve Tal Farlow Sessions” Mosaic Records cd box set, disc 6

Joe, I totally agree with your assessment. His previous books are also excellent in both scholarship and writing. And then there's that rare thing. . . you feel good reading them.

Good luck. I tried ordering from ESP Disk a few times in the last two years with no success (i. e. never got the cds).

Lee Morgan “Caramba!” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD I really like this date, in part because the cover photo always reminds me of someone I loved so much, my late first wife.

Lee Morgan “Infinity” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

I have the Nat Pierce material and the Urbie Green. I'd say these are neither fish nor fowl, neither really a "small group" nor piano-centric. So I can see why they were not included.

“Chet Baker Sings and Plays” Pacific Jazz/Blue Note 85th Anniversary UHQCD

A warm morning. Ye olde dachshund Fiona wouldn’t let me go back to sleep, at least not yet. . . so I started the listening with Dave Holland Big Band “What Goes Around” ECM cd 450×450 33.1 KB I really enjoy this ensemble, the arrangements and performances. And the sound is very good.

Trying out a new rectifier in the SEWE300B and it’s sounding pretty good! Played Antonio Carlos Jobim “Stone Flower” (the Legacy cd) 500×500 26.3 KB Followed by Dave Holland Octet “Pathways” ECM cd 500×438 43.4 KB

I have--not a major difference imo.

Jazz At Lincoln Center “The Fire Of The Fundamentals” Columbia cd

I didn't realize the cover didn't show up. Here 'tis.

Arturo O’Farrill “Blood Lines” Milestone cd A great debut!

Miles Davis “Miles Smiles” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 Enjoying the warm morning while it lasts. Some of the sloping sheet of ice that is my driveway has melted, that’ great I think. Starting off with this classic in great sound. I almost listened to the Bootleg Series volume that features these tape reels, but decided to just hear the familiar glory of the released material only. 300×296 7.52 KB

This music is worth exploring, and it should not be hard to find almost all of it on Vanguard cds that shouldn't cost too much I bet. (I have almost all of it on cds, with the exception of the Trio with Quinichette which I have on a Vogue 2 LP set). I love the Powell material.
