#150 The Complete Blue Note 1964-66 Jackie McLean Sessions

1972: RIP Mayall

Finally worked my way through the box. What a great set! As mentioned earlier I only had about half of these albums. This box really points to Bobby as a critical cog in the 60s BN sound. Not only with high profile ‘side men,’ but the sophisticated level of the compositions. My only minor quibble is the odd way some of the albums are broken up across disks. I understand why they did it, but since the sessions are all noted by the album names, it’s a little awkward.

Great production by John Leventhal

Ride "Weather Diaries"

Same as the second Eastern Rebellion Quartet (after George Coleman). They're ALL good!

Just saw them a few months ago at the Big Ears Festival. Outstanding!

Mine arrived on Monday

I've received several notices that I'm getting the box tomorrow 👍🎶

[2015 Remaster]

I should have the box early next week. Looking forward to it!

Tomeka Reid, cello Jason Roebke, bass Mary Halvorson, guitar Tomas Fujiwara, drums

Seems like a lingering cough is to be expected with this strain

Nice album from 2000. Sounds like a good acoustic Jethro Tull album.

Still coughing occasionally. Not feeling sick otherwise, so I think it's probably allergies. Taking Pseudoephedrine (recommended by my doctor) when necessary and that seems to calm the cough.

Excellent!
