Harrison Bankhead Sextet Morning Sun Harvest Moon
This rather obscure fine sounding CD coming from Harrison Bankhead features Mars Williams, Ed Wilkerson, James Sanders, Ernie Adams, and Avreeayl Ra. Harrison, you are missed.

As I listen to 1977’s Neil Young Chrome, I wonder why it was withheld from official for so many years. Rumors abound, and occasional bootlegs have popped up. One story for the delayed release is that eil shared it with a neighbor who thought it did not make much of an album. That neighbor being Carol King. Glad Neil finally came around on this one, as at least I like it. A nice alternative version of Powderfinger on this, that was first officially released on Live Rust.

Oops
a friend of mine wrote the first, and very thick, biography of Horowitz, including several interviews at his Manhattan townhouse
Horowitz insisted approving his records by playing the mother vinyl on his junk turntable
No wonder they often sound scratchy and compressed, although the power, confidence, artistry, and prowess of performance are exquisite
The mother is typically made of copper, which means it is much more resilient than the father, and has grooves instead of ridges, which means it is playable. The mother is then used to make ANOTHER negative copy, which is called the stamper (ridges, not grooves). The stamper is the plate used to actually make the vinyl records.
Starting off on disc 1 of this one, as disc 2 was still in the player from last evening. This year’s SFJazz Collective had a funkier yet still swinging vibe. Their “original compositions” are fun to listen to as are their Jackson interpretations.

Looks like Sammy the Red Rocker!
Hermeto is work revisiting, or if unfamiliar worth exploring.
