Miles Davis “Water Babies” Sony Blu-Spec CD2

This cover always makes me smile–we used to on occasion have a neighborhood Dad who would get out a monkey wrench and free up the water for the kids to play around in my Philly neighborhood as a kid.

 

 

Followed by

Tom Harrell “First Impressions” High Note cd

Tom on High Note is always great.

Cool story about Miles' Water Babies album cover, but does that not look like Arnold Jackson in the far right hand of the sleeve from Different Strokes? Whatcha' talkin' 'bout Miles? Sorry, I'm just joking around.

Cold again, and ye olde dachshund is not doing so well. . . I didn’t get enough sleep but I’ll try and make up for that later.

Starting off with a new arrival, Ethan Iverson Quartet & Tom Harrell “Common Practice” . . . I’m not the biggest Iverson fan but I do love Tom Harrell and he is playing really well on this live session.

The turntable is spinning with the mono version of a stereo LP I spun last week, “Jack Teagarden” on Verve.

Both the stereo and mono sound glorious; the stereo is a lot cleaner copy.

One my favs from the WCC series. Guess it didn't take off but very happy with the 12 they issued.

Anyone know the reason why this session was not issued until years later? To these ears, this record is just as awesome as Complete Communion, and SFI.

You mean on CD or on LP?

In the LP days, only Complete Communion stayed readily available IIRC. I remember the other two being "finds" when I did find them.

When was the Don Cherry Mosaic released?

[jazzbo]

Mosaic was released 1993

"Where is Brooklyn?" was recorded November 1966 and released in 1969.
