Kenny Dorham Quartet (featuring Ernie Henry) “2 Horns / 2 Rhythm” Riverside/OJC cd
Ernie Henry–we should have had decades more of his music.
I like it because it sounds like what my dormitory mates and I would play, especially when there was hash.

Each time I return to MJQ or John Lewis’ music I am pleased with it. I do believe he received considerable recognition in his day. Unfortunately he seems to be neglected in current jazz circles.

The strongest recommendation. You have me seeking it out for a late morning listen.
He’s a favorite of mine and I’m always surprised when jazz lovers don’t know him.

Moacir Santos “Ouro Negro” Adventure Music 2 cd set, disc 1
That’s a great album. “Roll Jordan Roll” is a favorite of mine to play for the uninitiated. The smile that spreads across their faces when they first hear the bass vocal is incredibly fun to watch.

I had forgotten about it, and came across it when sorting through a handful of my demo CDs. A fantastic way to start a day’s listening.
The new DAC has about 163 hours of play on it now and the bass is starting to really come in, tight with impact. I have just the right tube sets in place and the sound is excellent–detailed and dynamic with great nuance.

Jerry Garcia Live, Vol. 18, disc 2
Listening to this favorite–this time the CTI Supreme Blu-Spec CD version–to see what it sounds like with this new, evolving in sound DAC. It sounds bloody good!
Antonio Carlos Jobim “Stone Flower”
It is a good one. Some of their previous releases bordered on new age.
Replaying this one from yesterday as it sounds so good–I dialed in the sound around it and Helen’s singing is a great start to any cay.
The last few years I’ve been listening to “late” Helen and neglected these reputation-building Mercury albums. They’re great.
