49 this morning, going to be a nice cool day. Blue Note All-Stars “Our Points of View” Blue Note 2 cd set, disc 1 is spinning.
This is showing me clearly the difference an addition to the system has made. A nice little change.
Shifting gears. . . now Bill Evans “You’re Going to Hear From Me” Milestone cd
Recorded at the Jazzhus Montmartre (Store Regnegade), Copenhagen, Denmark; November 24, 1969.
Bill with Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell
A cool and rainy morning. Repeating a litsten to this one as it really makes the system shine this morning, and I really wanted to hear this music again. A fascinating album with excellent engineering.
Randy Weston “Khepera” Verve cd
Now on to
Miles Davis “Milestones” Mobile Fidelity Lab stereo SACD
Late start to any listening today, I had errands to do (and in fact “overdo”–OUCH) and I’ve finally turned on the amp to enjoy a bit of music.
Starting off with Benny Goodman . . . “Today – Live In Stockholm” London/Decca (UK) 2 cd set, disc 2. Interesting how Benny modernized the arrangements a bit and directed this younger band.
On to some Pops!
“Louis Armstrong All-Stars Live in Zurich, Switzerland 18/10/1949” TCB cd
Soggy morning indeed. I started off with “Terrapin Station” by the Grateful Dead, the expanded cd from the big box set. Nice additional material. I always wondered what this album would have sounded like without the outside producer and his big changes. There are live versions but. . . we’ll never know.
Followed that up with Bob Dylan “The Cutting Edge 1965 – 1966: The Bootleg Series Vol.12: Collector’s Edition” Columbia 18 cd box set, disc 8. I needed to hear some versions of “Desolation Row.” What a masterpiece. . . each take a fascinating window.
Thanks, I have had the Dylan song to my discovery playlist
Couldn’t bear to watch the second half of the Cavs game and went to bed early. . . and woke up a bit earlier than usual. Nice quiet cool morning. It’s Miles Davis’ 200th birthday, and just read the sad news that Sonny Rollins has died. So I’m starting off with a disc that has a bit of Rollins with Miles at the end. . . .
Miles Davis “Miles '54: The Prestige Recordings” Concord 2 cd set, disc 1
Then on to
Jethro Tull “Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition” disc 3
100
yup he was playing with Wagner, Both work considered avant-gardist!
A cool morning. Lots of loud geese activity noise filtering up from the lake.
Starting off with some Duke after a day of Sonny and Miles. Duke Ellington “Volume 10 1947-1951 The Alternative Takes In Chronological Order” Neatwork cd
I have most of this material on other LPs and cds but I love this music so much. . . I picked this and several other Neatwork Duke cds cheap and really enjoy their sound.
i think this period of Duke’s work is not as “famous” as it should be.
good day
Where we could purchase those, If Internet information is good they did something like that for count Basie I’m a huge fan of the count!
Thanks for helping
this morning, My system recommend this one for starting the day
Most of the time if I pick an album I choose a live performance with the Cling And Clang
And this one from Vanguard is fun to listen this morning, Some Improvisation, Good timing not the best not the worst but fun to listen for first record of the day
as a bonus a good espresso with that! Before breakfast!
always enjoys live performance
A week ago I spent all the morning searching in music:
Live at Vanguard: Live at Ronnies: Etc. you get the point!
PS
Any suggestion for a live record are welcome!
I have been purchasing mine through discogs sellers, here is a listing of the Basie releases on Neatwork and this will show you sellers for each volume.

You could probably find some volumes on amazon.fr etc and ebay.
Joe Lovano is one of the nicest jazz musicians I have ever met and talked to. A great player too.
There are very many excellent live jazz recordings to explore. I really enjoy these modern jazz performances from Dave Douglas:

I’m sure you are aware of this excellent Basie release:
This Mingus release is also a favorite:

thanks, I have added them to my discovery playlist! Thank you so much
For the Joe Williams, The Count play wonderfully but on some album Joe Williams goes to lyrical maybe the version I have was a autotune or loudnessed I will try to hear the version you recommend
And the glass was Already in my discovery playlist!
For Mingus and Satchmo it is a discovery for me! Look forward to hear that! Thanks again
I’m starting off a warm morning with an album that has haunted my listening world since about '74. After I digested “Miles at Fillmore” and “Live/Evil” I tackled this and let it wash over me for many plays. I could get no one around me to sit still and listen to this–they were all wrapped up in Pink Floyd and would hardly listen to any jazz let alone a funky assault on the senses that this one is. (To this day I can’t spin Floyd–I heard it so much during this time and I lost any interest).
I have my OG LP but this SACD version has a certain balance that I love to listen to, it became my go to version.
Miles Davis “On the Corner” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD
It took me a long time to get into Joe Williams. . . after such a deep affinity to Jimmy Rushing and his definitive work with this band Joe’s singing was just another direction I didn’t see the road map to follow. But in time I found him, and really love him–I think what won me over was listening to a lot of the Roulette material from the band and Joe solo over and over–that Roulette recorded sound itself really helped me.
good Morning
After trying to Find album of your Miles Morning
No Really My Type but,!
Did you know there is also an album the same what the complete version:
The listing and the progression seems more accurate/accessible on the rare version
@lonson seems like me listening progressive rock from Gentle Giant to King Crimson and then switch to fusion jazz and finally dive in the jazz for good
Yes, I bought that Complete Sessions box set when it was first released . . . and had corresponded with the reissue producer. The original album was a cut and paste of material from many different recording sessions, and the box set has a few of the original recordings and a lot of other recordings that had been issued on “Get Up With It” and “Big Fun.”
Never have picked up that LP of some of the material,
Right now
Something very different, but having in common a rhythmic focus.
“The Indispensable Benny Goodman Volume 3/4 (1936-1937)” RCA 2 cd set, dsic 1
