Brad Mehldau “Day is Done” Nonesuch cd

Pat Martino & Joyous Lake “Stone Blue” Blue Note cd

I'll second that . . the Bethlehem titles are great.

Gerald Cannon “Gerald Cannon” Woodneck cd Sherman Irby brings his distinctive down home ways to this one. Great disc!

It’s been a long time since I listened to this. Clearly a Weather Report “side” album in its way, but the arco playing makes me think that it may have been an inspiriation for McLaughlin to include a violinist in his Mahavishnu Orchestra that was soon to follow.

Stan Getz “Tonight In Paris” Hobby & Work Italiana Editrice cd This is the same material as “The Song Is You” Laserlight or LRC etc. Bass – Miroslav Vitous Drums – Jack DeJohnette Piano – Stanley Cowell Tenor Saxophone – Stan Getz Recorded live in Paris, 02/12/1969

A late start to the listening day due to unexpected domestic issues involving the well pump. Fortunately now resolved. It sure was cold, a damp cold, much earlier this morning. Starting off with a Stan Getz I had not heard in some time, Steeple Chase cd “Copenhagen Unissued Session 1977” which is a quartet with Joanne Brackeen, NHO Pedersen and Billy Hart. Truly nice sound and performances.

Blossom Dearie “Our Favorite Songs” Daffodil cd

David Benoit “Waiting for Spring” GRP cd Picked this one up because Emily Remler is here, playing very well. 342×341 27 KB

I have all their work bought in the 'nineties, because of Charlie Rouse. It varies a bit from album to album.

“Miles Davis '54–The Prestige Recordings” disc 1

On to this 2 cd set released Friday, “Forces Of Nature: Live At Slug’s” on Blue Note, listed with McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson as co-leaders.

Another cold morning with rain. Sigh. Gotta get used to the rain, we’re getting so much. Starting off with the “Round Midnight” soundtrack on Columbia cd. The sound from this French studio is quite interesting!

Herb was advised to change the name to the Tubingen Brass or the Tyumen Jazz Band .

Thanks.

Artie Shaw “More Last Recordings:The Final Sessions” 300×296 10.3 KB Great sessions before hanging up his clarinet.

Zoot Sims “Compatibility” Jump/Delmark cd Starting off another cold wet morning. . . way too early but Fiona the dachshund would not be denied. I’ll try to get some more sleep in a bit.

Marvin Gaye “What’s Goin’ On” From this box set
