“Monk Big Band and Quartet in Concert” Columbia/High Density Tape Transfer cdr
This is an interesting version of this material. Here’s the source according to the “label”
Recording Info: Transferred from a Columbia 4-track tape
It’s the content of the original LP and only the original LP, but it includes the edits removed for the original LP. Sound is quite nice.
I think it’s a fantastic album, my favorite Joni. I still have the vinyl I bought when this was a new album, and I’ve played it or the cd version several times at least every year since it was released.

Grateful Dead “Here Comes Sunshine 1973” 17 cd box set, cd 2, Iowa.
The sound is dialed in more closely by this second disc of the concert.

At the moment I am truly enjoy this! A sense of fun with a bit of a T. Monk undertone. Seventh Wonder is great with its walking bass line and chatty trombone, underscored by playful piano runs.

This is a fantastic set I have had first on cd and then bought on LP five years ago. I love this music! Such variety, and all fun to listen to.
Last month Dusty Groove in Chicago offered this LP set for about a third of what I paid for mine and I grabbed it. Turned out to be a previously unplayed mint set. I mailed it to my best friend in Texas, avant-garde and jazz trumpeter Dave Laczko and he’s really enjoying it so I thought I would join in. Now listening to sides G and H.
Duke Ellington “Complete 1947-1952” CBS France 6 LP set
Harish Raghavan “Calls For Action”
I so much want to love this album. It features two of my favorite current players (Joe Ross and Immanuel Wilkins) and it is very well-recorded. But the drumming just seems so wrong to me, throughout. Maybe it’s because I was once a drummer but. . . just spoils it for me

Ricardo Silveira & John Leftwich “Cosmos”
A beautiful album featuring excellent flute from Hubert Laws, in wonderful Adventure Music sound.

Continuing with flute and guitar and the great engineering of Adventure Music.
Toninho Horta & Nicola Stilo “Duets”
Back “in the day”, I sometimes bought records for their cover art. These were two of them.
