This is a gem! Jonah Jones “Muted Jazz” Capitol LP Bass – John Browne* Drums – Harold Austin Piano – George Rhodes Trumpet, Vocals – Jonah Jones

Starting a cold morning with side 1 of this monser album again. So much history with this release for me, and I just sink into all the little details that the LP provides. Weather Report “Sweetnighter” Columbia LP

Weather Report “Sweetnighter” Columbia LP This LP always tells me a lot about my system. What it is telling me today is good things. Mr. White and Mr. Vitous on bass are really dishing it out!

12 degrees and snow. Still winter! A big deer in the back yard did not seem to mind. I didn’t stay out long though. . . wow. . . the cold just sits on your skin and takes root. Starting off with some very old, very dear music. Miles Davis “Big Fun” Columbia 2 LP, “Ife” Sounding excellent with the new upgrade to the Rega turntable setup.

Double that price is a lot! She's never done anything for me, but I know she's important. I wish they could price these things so that those who really really want them didn't have to hesitate or get a loan or hold up a shop to have one.

I have never been a fan. . . but that does not at all seem an "unreasonable" price for a 19 cd set (220-230 that I have seen).

Thanks. Me too! Hope we don't get snow until I do. .. shoveling snow in this cold (15 to 25 degree F highs) is not going to help.

No need to apologize, just wondered. I'm fighting off a cold and not at my best yesterday and today.

He's a "trumpeter". I didn't notice that cut and paste typo, thought you were questioning the first name or such. Sorry. Doesn't seem funny to me. From the discogs page: Jazz trumpet player and songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY, grandson of Chico O'Farrill, son of composer and pianist Arturo O'Farrill and pianist Alison Deane, brother of percussionist Zack O'Farrill. Right now Milt Jackson Sextet “Invitation” Riverside/OJC cd 300×296 11.4 KB Quite a band! And well played. Bass – Ron Carter Drums – Connie Kay. Piano – Tommy Flanagan Tenor Saxophone – Jimmy Heath Trumpet – Kenny Dorham Vibraphone – Milt Jackson

Now Monday Michiru "Brasilified" ? It is funny that I "typo'd" the word "typo."

I don't do surround sound. Never appealed to me. I seriously doubt that would change my reaction to this music. I'm aware of the work and intention. I just don't like film music, and this seems to be film music to me.

Monday Michiru "Brasilified Nights"

Arne Domnérus “Best Of Dompan” Bonnier 2 cd set disc 1 Very pretty music. Domnerus has a beautiful tone.

Another Blue Note. . . this one the “Collector’s Choice” Blue Note issue that reissues the first US cd. Andrew Hill “Black Fire” This one and “Smoke Stack” rival each other as “my favorite” Hill. Whichever I am playing is my favorite!

NOT a tupo. https://www.discogs.com/artist/4269132-Adam-OFarrill 9 degrees. The old dog and this old dog really did not want to step outside. Was rewarded with the sight of four deer though. Starting off with a release I’m trying again. Bob Belden “Black Dalia” Blue Note SACD I’ve not been crazy about this release in the past. Found the SACD cheap and . . . well it sounds good, I guess I’m warming to the music a bit more. It resembles a soundtrack, and I’m not crazy about soundtracks. . . I’m trying to experience it in a different way.
