Watched--and listened to through the living room audio/visual system--the 90th Birthday tribute concert for Willie Nelson on CBS from the DVR.

Everyone brought their A game to this Willie fest and Lukas Nelson and Dave Matthews really impressed me--and I confess neither ever impressed me before. A well done, fun concert.

Did you notice the president of Blue Note on bass?

... also a lot of rare first US press discs i am selling now. Found a bag of 400-500 euro of discs ! Standing there for hours and hours. Strange story; ... people were moving out so i asked; do you still listening to those discs ? No, not from us, so i thought ahhh they are just helping a friend and i left it. Came back after hours ... still there, the bell rang of course ! Saw a note attached,  take for free. The thing is the bag belonged to somebody else and i feel lucky it was still around !

That was nice of them! Happy listening and good luck with the sales. The Dre Chronic is an absolute classic.

Yes, I did. Didn't add that much imo but he got to be there. . . .

Classic boom bap from the early 90s. It's definitely raw but I recommend keeping it. It doesn't stream in the US, so physical is the only way to go. 

Ill Street Blues is great

That's a good record.

Found this attractive and unusually structured tune when reevaluating Waiting:

I haven’t spun this in some time and it’s a treat to hear again. But. . . I’ve long been puzzled. . . who chose “Limehouse Blues” and “Star Fell on Alabama”?

[jazzbo]

“Nat King Cole LIve at the Bllue Note Chicago 1953” disc 2

Listening to disc 2 again. This is a very charming set. . . Nat is so inviting, you feel as if you are there.

And . . . John Collins and Lee Young!

Jack Tracy?

Throw in "Weaver Of Dreams". It was literally decades before I heard another version of that, and then it was a vocal. One more reason I should have paid attention to singers before I did.

"Stars..." Is a bit of a classic, imo. I've yet to meet a "bop" altoist who can't play it at least in part!

"Limehouse..." is sort of a "Sweet Georgia Brown" running of the cycle thing that used to be a popular way to show off the chops in a show-offy way, so with these two guys up front, hey. Producers gotta produce.

[Ken Dryden]

I owned both of these recordings as LPs, but wanted to upgrade to digital. 

In Berlin was only issued in Europe on LP.

Yes, it was probably Tracy. . . but those two, those three. . . I don't know a couple of originals or bop workhorses would have been more. . . anticipated? effective?

We got what we got and it's fun. I can't hear "Alabama" without Teagarden's voice coming in my head.

Coltrane allegedly knew every song. And "Weaver..." is a good one

Probably the first version I remember hearing was Don Grolnick's Blue Note recording of it.

Another classic.  It's been so long that I can't remember the back story but I'm pretty sure this album was pulled from the shelves shortly after it was released.

BBE CD reissue

A great album.  I'd never heard of it until this reissue but I've kept it in heavy rotation since.  

[JSngry]

I heard "Weaver ...' in high school, back when these things ran rampant:

My next version was the Limelight LP, which, dare I say it, was not more enjoyable due to it's being complete.

But..."The Tune Of The Hickory Stick"...no, no such thing, not on this record.
