That's a sweet album.  Do you have Working,  Relaxin and Cookin' (three different albums)?  If you don't look around for them. I think you'd dig 'em.

Enjoying this one very much.   Maybe more than Cookin' and Workin'.  Just missing Relaxin' Allan, but I put it on my wish list a few minutes ago.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Arrived today:



I have the original CD (and LP) of the Weather Report, but I wanted to hear the surround mix, which is a modification (to accommodate the subwoofer) of the 70s' quad release.

And these, which are mail-order only and not available on Amazon and I don't want to hotlink Mosaic's site, so I'll let you click if interested:

This live album has some the most killin' Trane I have ever heard!
Especially like Song of Praise (19'24)..

What is the play date on this recording James?

I'm not sure off hand, don't have the liner notes with me...
1963 or 1965 i think...

Is My Favorite Things the only other song on the set?

If you would, send me a date of the recording when you can check the liner notes.

One of my favorite 'Trane cd's on the shelf.  The sound is a bit "hazy", but the playing more than makes up for this short-coming.

Tracks include:

1. Mr. P.C.
2. Miles Mode
3. My Favourite Things 
4. Body And Soul

I'm glad to see that the jazz thread has been active while I was away.  I'll have to look back through it when I get a little more time.  I haven't bought a lot of CDs lately (my money has gone to other things), but I managed to add one jazz CD to my collection recently.



Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners.  This is an old classic, and a very good one.  The music is quite accessible, but there is also a lot going on and it feels quite original.  It seems like the sort of music that will reveal much upon repeated hearings.

Be sure to get The Washington Concerts too if you don't have it already,
it's from the 1950s..tracks 1 thru 8 are Parker with a Big Band!!

the most killin' Bird I've ever heard!!!

The performance is made all the more amazing by the circumstances under which it occurred:  Bird had missed all the rehearsals and showed up just before they were to go onstage, so he played completely by ear without having heard the arrangements before.  Some of the tunes weren't even in his repertoire!
