Ha, this is not one I have and from your comment I’d probably take a pass on it.

A standout solo album from Marilyn Crispell, Live in San Francisco. The piece Dear Lord is worth a repeat listen. Marilyn will be playing with a quartet featuring Jason Stein, Damon Smith, and Alex Shead locally in Madison this Saturday.

Gary Meek “Step 7”
A nice somewhat smooth session I picked up because Airto, Flora Purim and Jose Neto are on board. Gary has performed and recorded often with Flora and Airto.

I have a house guest, an old college buddy who doesn’t seem to want to leave. He hates Coltrane, so it’s Coltrane first music of the day and my entire collection if necessary.

Live in Japan should make your point nicely, all four discs if necessary. Consider it a double hit, John & Alice.

Guinga & Maria Joao : Mar Atora
Maria Joao may be an acquired taste for some but she’s an excellent singer and easy for me to enjoy because she reminds me strongly of a Brazilian Blossom Dearie, and over the decades I have become quite a Blossom Dearie fan.
A great listen.
Been thinking of my Dad this week as I always talked to him about the news each evening his last few years. And boy is there news to talk about. So I’m starting today with this one:
A favorite of his, and something I’ve heard with him on and off over my life

Thelonious Monk “The Classic Quartet” Candid cd 2023
After waffling I decided to order this new cd even though I do have a budget early cd of this in storage. This new remaster certainly would sound better than that cd in a side by side comparison. And it’s a great performance.
On the same day in Tokyo the Monk Quartet did this tv show performance, and a concert released by Columbia/Sony as a 2 disc set. The latter is stereo, this TV performance was recorded in mono.
