Henry Mancini – Combo!

R-2889237-1385341729-2446.jpg.4bcde58031a1b67da1d8078c85af9fba.jpg

I'm not about to suddenly become a lounge guy but this is really a very good, creative record, with all the usual West Coast guys hamming it up, and only a few swinging funky bach harpsichord jams. I am surprised that it doesn't get mentioned more alongside the likes of Quincy Jones. Perhaps it is too jazzy for the easy listening fans but too easy listening for the jazz fans.

Okay, she finally settled down. I’m enjoying the cool morning while it lasts. Should stay fairly cool, mid-seventies, today. . . but plenty of rain expected.

Shifting to Big Blue, Bob Dylan, “The Cutting Edge” disc 5.

“I’m in the kitchen with the tombstone blues.” Love take 1.

Right now, something different. . . .the first spin of the 2023 Blu-Spec CD2 Miles Davis “Agharta,” disc 1

The system is astonishingly good lately and this disc sounds wonderful.

TTK recommended this to me a while ago. It's really good. Sometimes the jazz police simply should shut up.

Giving this a listen after reading a positive review by @Ken Dryden in the new edition of The New York City Jazz Record:

 

features an all-Brazilian rhythm section -- Helio Alves, Nilson Matta & Duduka Da Fonseca -- with Ken Peplowski & Nicholas Payton sitting in on selected cuts
