A late start to a warm and rainy morning.
This very well-recorded cd beckoned to me this morning–I’m enjoying re-visiting Ms Claudia’s recordings this month.

Satoko Fujii ma do Heat Wave, a 2008 No Business release. An exceptional performance from this fine quartet. Did I mention the sonics are most satisfying?
Now for that hike through a mesic natural prairie in the area with cliffs overlooking the local river and a nesting pair of eagles in the vicinity.

On Satoko Fujii/Paul Bley Something About Water student meets master on 8 piano duos. Satoko had been Paul’s student at the Boston Conservatory of Music. I believe this 1996 recording may possibly be her first.

Starting a warm morning by re-listening to this one. I really like the All Star sessions on this label. I have them all except the “Bongos” one. . . I’m correcting that.
Hip Bop Essence Allstars “Afrocubano Chant Two”
And this arrived in the mail yesterday, I’ve been waiting for it. . . .

Listening to disc 1, all music composed by Jobim. Not familiar with much of Jobim’s music, but this seems pretty great to me (Down Beat’s review was pretty negative for some reason).
Been a long, very long time since I listened to Norma Winstone. I vaguely recall a pure unique voice.
Bud Powell Chez Francois Paris 1962 - 1964 a home recording released on the french Sam Records label, capturing Bud’s approach and state of mind in the early sixties. Interesting, but hardly essential.
Cold. Snow on the ground. Darn!
