It's short. 

And it's definitely of at-best secondary "importance" in the grand scheme of things.

But it's still a fun listen!

Apart from the music, I also dig the titles: "Sorry Wrong Rhumba", "Life with Feather", "Bebop's Fables", "Nothing but Denzil Best", "Bop Look and Listen", "Good to the Last Bop".

Next up in the lovely Mosaic box..

Just realised that I have photos with Inter-Rail friends taken at pretty well that exact Paris spot with one of us holding the Eifel Tower in the palm of the hand.

Sun Ra, Ra to the Rescue (Modern Harmonic)

Beware, this CD is defectively made. Volume inexplicably rises and falls on tracks throughout. Unlistenable.

Thanks for the warning. I've bought several Modern Harmonic Ra reissues with good results. But the sound quality on my recent Omniverse purchase was not up to the standard of the others.

Oddly, persevering though the entire CD, I found that only the first six tracks are defective; the last four sound great.

He was a funny man. His live intros were something.

Tania Maria "Tempo" cd

This is one of my favorite Tania Maria discs. It's just Tania and Eddie Gomez. These are both masters of their instruments and also very confident performers, willing to plunge deep into a tune and performance and reap rewards. And it's an interesting recording, putting you right in front of the musicians in a realistic and "alive way."
