1974’s Winter Light from the quartet Oregon of which I never tire, Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless, Glen Moore, and Collin Walcott.
Got most of the shoveling done. . . oy. . .it was cold going.
Have a little time with the system again and this one caught my eye and called to me. I really like the first of the two “shows” released here. The sound quality is excellent, and “Round Midnight” is really interesting to hear.
Bill Evans “Portraits at the Penthouse: Live in Seattle” Resonance Records cd
Some late Chicago Style. . . .
“The Spirit of Condon” Jazzology cd
Eddie Condon on board, with Wild Bill Davison and Art Hodes as well. Recorded in Manassas, VA 1971 and 1973
Bouncing in my head while I was tinkering with the cars outside was a tune from “The Spirit of Condon” – Louis Armstrong’s “Someday You’ll be Sorry.” I’ve learned the wisdom in that song a few times. Need something to push that tune out so. . . .
“Count Basie & Friends–100th Birthday Bash” Roulette 2 cd set, disc 1
Pulled this from the shelves, a great collection of great Basie in that Roulette sound.
Grateful Dead “To Terrapin–Harford '77” Disc 1 of 3
It’s been too long since I heard some guitar from Jerry. And much longer since I listened to this show.
Man, the system is really warmed up and sounding great.
