It’s colder this morning. Maybe why Fiona the dachshund let me sleep a few hours longer! Going to be colder still with more rain as the day progresses, and some snow expected. I’m amazed that the 12" or so that was on the ground Sunday has now been washed away from rain and melted from temps in the 'fifties yesterday.
Starting off with
Allen Lowe, “Louis Armstrong’s America Volume 1” disc 2
Fascinating set. Like a bizarro universe at times, but truly involving.
Followed by
“Bill Evans in Norway” Elemental Music cd

Speaking of the weather (Lon), the fog is so thick, I can see nothing out my windows.
So of course I had to hear one particular cut on this album. (I’m a simple man)

It was very foggy here yesterday morning, but clearer this morning.
The fog is in my brain this morning not outside. I think I am not used to so much sleep.

Mars Williams and Vasco Trilla Critical Mass.
How I miss Mars’ antics and Ayler Xmas performances this time of year.
I managed to sneak in another listening session yesterday but without my laptop handy so I didn’t chronicle it. I listened to the other two discs in the SFJazz Collective Horace Silver set, and one disc of MIles Davis’ “Directions” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 2 cd set.
Starting off this morning with this interesting 7th release from Jorge Ben (in 1970) “Brut Forca” on a Philips cd reissue.
It’s a very cold morning with a bit of snow deposited over night. Looking forward to breakfast with Lucy’s sister and brother-in-law, Briget and Dan.

Reaching back to the earliest cd version I have retained of “Miles in Berlin”–the SBM Master Sound lp facsimile version, which is sounding mighty good this morning.
This was the earliest concert of the Quintet with Wayne Shorter released before this year’s box set of recordings in '63 and '64 in France. And it has long been a favorite since the LP version was first released way back when in the US as part of a 2 LP set.
“Miles in Berlin” Sony SRCS 9708 cd
