Disc 2 - The version of "Autumn Leaves" may be the best I have ever heard. And "Caravan", not a tune I care for all that much, is almost as good.

Whenever there are major changes in my system (now it's the inclusion of a ZROCK2 and the new firmware for the DSD) I end up listening closely to this recording. . . I know it so well that it reveals "the state of the art" of my system clearly. And it's such amazing music.

Lucky Thompson – Home Comin' (LRC Jazz Classics / Groove Merchant)
— With Lucky Thompson (soprano & tenor sax), Cedar Walton (piano & electric piano), Larry Ridley or Sam Jones (bass), Billy Higgins or Louis Hayes (drums).

Also known as "Tea Time," this is a collection drawn from his two Groove Merchant titles "I Offer You" and "Goodbye Yesterday" issued around 1973.  (They probably could have included both full CDs, but I guess LRC doesn't work that way.)

Modern Chicago Blues (Testament)

Bringing back memories of Pete Welding, Bob Koester and the entire blues scene. Living through it, the recordings always seemed "behind the beat" because in the months it took to issue them, the music moved on.
