This is a gas! Something that only John Sinclair would do, and not too far out.

Miles Davis “In A Silent Way” Sony LP facsimile cd SRCS 9117
Been quite some time since I listened to this SBM remastered version.
Mid-60s recordings from live dates in Europe from Pablo. Some of the tunes from the great album Afro Bossa are quite lively.
Francy Boland & The Orchestra “Blue Flame / Red Hot / White Heat” MPS 2 cd set, disc 2 then disc 1
I was thinking I’d play some Ellington and saw this and played these two discs first instead. Not a bad choice or dissimilar choice. . . Boland was very influenced by Ellington and Basie, and both are referenced here in arranging style. Soloists are mainly artists that are featured in various configurations of The Clarke Boland Big Band, or small groups drawn from the Big Band. Really good music and sound!
Followed by
Orin Evans “The Magic of Now” Smoke Sessions cd
Immanuel Wilkins! I love his playing.
