Tornado ten miles from here Tuesday night. We were lucky–no damage here, we didn’t even lose power, but we lost cable and internet until a half an hour ago. That sucked.
Finished listening to
Dexter Gordon “GO” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD
Went into town after the tornado hit in a neighboring town on Tuesday. Some stores are operating off a single generator, a lot of stores still closed, a lot of empty aisles in the grocery store due to food not being refrigerated for a day.
Right now, listening to Raul de Souza “Jazzmim”–not the fiery Raulzinho from decades past, but a nice smooth album.
Just my opinion, but this particular Wayne Shorter Blue Note release, Adam’s Apple, just doesn’t seem to get the recognition it deserves. It is an exceptional session, one of his best, yes there are many, from the 1960’s. The first cut, Adam’s Apple, is a bright, jouus and soulful romp. Having an Music Matters SRX LP copy pays huge sonic dividends compared to my original as well as a CD version.

Nice and cool morning deserves a nice and cool cd to spin.
