Cold start to the morning, but I’m getting used to that. Other parts of the nation are having heat waves. . . .
Starting off with
Miles Davis “Miles '54 (The Prestige Recordings)” 2 cd set, disc 1
This is my second copy of this set as my first copy had a defective track.
I have this material several other times elsewhere but I really enjoy the Paul Blackmore transfers Concord has been using, they sound excellent. The '55 recording set is due out soon.
Trying low gain on the phono stage, high output on the line stage today.
I think it sounds better. But tomorrow Ron won’t agree with today Ron and I’ll go back to “normal”. And so it goes.
Nduduzo Makhathini Unomkhubulwane, an excellent contemporary spiritual jazz release with strong South African musical underpinnings reflecting Nduduzo’s Zulu heritage. Recently released on the Blue Note label.
Going to be warm today, my wife will welcome that. But it will get hot up here in the listening area!
Starting off with the Mobile Fidelity Lab One Step of Miles Davis Bitches Brew.
Following up with something different
An amazing cd.
Bossarenova Trio (Paula Morelenbaum, Joo Kraus & Ralf Schmid) “Atlantico”
Angelika Niescier The Berlin Concert with bassist Christopher Tordini, and percussionist Tyshawn Sorey.
Atlantico playing now, a great listen on 96/24, extremely clear,yet easy on my ears. Thanks for your recommendation.
Glad you dug it. My general rule of thumb: I buy anything with Jacques Morelenbaum (cellist, composer, arranger) or his wife Paula–almost everything they appear on is wonderful, and anything they are leaders on is worth checking out.
Really late start to listening today. It’s warm, and Lucinda and I were having fun in the outdoors early.
Junko Onishi “Baroque” Verve cd
Re-listening to this one again today before it gets re-filed in the shelves for another who knows how long period of time. . . .
Junko Onishi - piano
Nicholas Payton - trumpet
Wycliffe Gordon - trombone
James Carter - Tenor sax, alto sax, bass clarinet, flute
Reginald Veal, Rodney Whitaker - bass
Herlin Riley - drums
Roland Guerrero - congas
And now on to
One of All “The Long Haul” Criss Cross cd
I pulled out the four cds I have from this band to re-listen to. . . had to wipe a bit of dust off the tops!
