Creedence Clearwater Revival Pendulum my first real LP purchase from paper route money, followed by my second real LP purchase. I was off to a good start. To this day I have all three originals, and they sound like it with ticks, pops, and inner groove distortion from my first Radio Shack “stereo”. All the repeat ultrasonic record cleaning will not remove evidence of my most enjoyed initial listening sessions to these gems.
and finally my third LP purchase.
Santana Abraxas
From here I dug into all of Jimi Hendrix’s available releases, and the Grateful Dead.
Tom Harrell “Time’s Mirror” RCA cd
This is a 1999 Grammy nominated big band session that really delivers.
Followed by
Tim Warfield “Gentle Warrior” Criss Cross cd
Larry Willis “Inner Crisis” Groove Merchant/Solid Records Japan cd
Bass – Eddie Gomez, Roderick Gaskin
Composed By, Electric Piano, Piano [Acoustic] – Larry Willis
Drums – Al Foster, Warren Benbow

David Murray & Low Class Conspiracy Vol: I Penthouse Jazz Live 1977.
Don Pullen’s piano work never ceases to amaze, as well as Fred Hopkin’s bass work on this somewhat obscure release.
Very cool!
A 420 warm-up
Wayne Escoffery “Vortex” Sunnyside cd
A little energy to start the pre-dawn morning.
Retruning to Roscoe Mitchell Bells For The South Side. Not only for the stunning sonic but for the innovative trio performances.
Just added to my playlist.
Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette “Somewhere” ECM cd
All these trio albums are great . . . this one has some amazing playing and great song selections.
Followed by
