I haven't had any luck finding this CD. Jackson's label, Solid Jackson, doesn't seem to have any distribution set up and he hasn't brought any to his gigs in several years. I'm planning to see him March. Maybe I should e-mail him and ask if he can bring a few?

Micah Thomas “Mountains” Artwork Records cd

 

Along with pianist Micah Thomas is rumpeter Adam O’Farrill, alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, trombonist Caleb Smith, bassist Kanoa Mendenhall and drummer Kweku Sumbry.

This is really cool but weird. Especially the vocal material based on Edward Lear text. There's lots of other vocals (which I ordinarily don't go for) with text by Yeats, Joyce and Lewis Carroll.

I know it's merely a typo, but funny. 🙂

Good but slightly weird.

Bud Powell in top form. Here are some of his best solos. Even if he was the greatest, he did not always reach such heights of inspiration like here.

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.

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!

Arne Domnérus “Best Of Dompan” Bonnier 2 cd set
disc 1

Very pretty music. Domnerus has a beautiful tone.

Are you able to play the multichannel sector of the SACD layer? Bob told me that he put a lot of work into that multichannel mix and that he meant for it to be listened to that way.

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.
