I’ve been on a Bill Frisell kick lately. This one is a hoot. All the guitar standards from the 60s and early 70s. Doesn’t sound like that would be a good thing but it really is.

This one is offered in 24 bit on Qobuz. The album posted above is 16 bit on Qobuz and, while sounding pretty good, this one really demonstrates how much better a 24 bit recording can sound.

David Murray Quartet I Want to Talk About You, with John Hicks, Ray Drummond, and Ralph Peterson Jr. recorded live at Boston’s Charlie’s Tap. The second track on side A, Ray Drummund’s Quad features David on bass clarinet. Being a sucker for the tonality of the instrument this track is a standout.

Duke Ellington’s Spacemen “The Cosmic Scene” HDTT cdr
What great instrumentaion and a great blend of jazz elements including a Chicago Style feel at points (to my ears). This transfer from a Columbia reel-to-reel is very nice. I also have an OG mono LP of this, and the stereo cd from Mosaic. Nice to rotate the three in listening when I do play this.

Charles Mingus “Incarnations” Candid cd
This was released at first as an RSD LP and then last week luckily it was released as a great sounding cd. Features one previously unreleased track from a 1960 session.
Starting off a “cold again darn it” morning with some smooth funk from a re-emergent 'seventies organist. A nice come back!
