A warmer morning, Fiona the dachshund has her appetite back this morning, which is re-assuring. I stood and listened to an owl for a few minutes. Love this plot of land across from the forest.

I'm breaking in a new pair of output tubes (Shuguang Black Treasure 300B-Z) and put on this old favorite to hear what condition the condition is in. A few more full days of power on before the tubes are really broken in.

"Classic V-Disc Small Group Jazz Sessions" Mosaic Records 11 cd set, disc V

Hot jazz with some sultry Martha Tilton (really never paid much attention to her before this set!) and then a lot of great solo Art Tatum.

Re-listening to this disc V for the Tatum sides which though I have them elsewhere have not heard in some time and just thrill at their inventive and masterful nature.

Another really warm fall morning. . . should be beautiful before the rain scheduled to dampen the Halloween outings of neighborhood kiddos.

Revisiting this Sun Ra recording from 1970. Although the music is not that special for Ra recordings, and features the sort of performance art philosophy that honestly turns me off and away from a lot of jazz that is at the very fringes of the tradition, the recording is truly fascinating, showing the depth and vitality of the sound in the theater--a good system really transports you into an audience seat.

Sun Ra And His Intergalactic Research Arkestra "Paradiso Amsterdam 1970"

<Shameless Plug>Yesterday in the Classical Thread I posted a CD of Bach organ music that was recorded a block or so from the MacArthur Park.</Shameless Plug> And the Maynard Ferguson Big Band version of MacArthur Park from Live at Jimmy's was the first jazz chart that I fell in love with.

On CD.

My friends and I literally wore out the LP and really annoyed my parents during my teenage years and I have since moved on to the CD and annoying my wife, who is generally very patient with my music but doesn't like screaming trumpets, at all.

Don Bagley "The Soft Touch" Dot/Blue Moon cd

Bass – Don Bagley
Drums – Shelly Manne
Flute, Alto Flute, Piccolo Flute – Paul Horn
French Horn – Tommy Loy
Piano – Jimmy Rowles

I originally bought this years ago because Jimmy Rowles was in the piano chair. A good reason! But I've learned to really like the album, and it led me to buy the other two Bagley leader dates.

Bill Evans "Momentum" Limetree 2 cd set, disc 1

Bill Evans, Eddie Gomez, and Marty Morell in Groningen, Netherlands, in 1972

Japan is reissuing this in December as two separate cds, and I was wondering if I should order the Japanese release. . . don't think I need to, this sounds just fine. Nice playing--I've always liked this trio.

A cold morning. Right before bed had an emergency--Fiona the dachshund was bleeding profusely from the mouth--I think she lost a tooth. Blood got all over the sofa cover, my pants and shirt, and towels we threw down all over the rug. Took an hour or so to get it to stop, gave her a dog aspirin. She went to sleep and is back to normal this morning--exceeding my expectation. She's really a trooper.

Decided to listen to a chill pill, the 85th Anniversary Blue Note Japan UHQCD version of Grant Green's "Idle Moments." It sounds great. It is hard to not make this session sound great.

After a full listen I used this disc to do some tube rolling of the 12AU7 positions in my Decware ZROCK2 and SEWE300B—settled on an Amperex 5814 in the ZROCK2 and a favorite tube of mine, a Holland made “Sunbeam” labeled 12AU7 that just adds a magic bit of body to the sound, which was needed as I have that 5814 in the amp which is very “precise” and a treasured pair of RFT 7308 in the driver positions for the 300B-Z tubes in the amp, which are also quite precise and accurate sounding.

She is doing well, bugging me for food right now. Talked to the vet who doesn't seem alarmed and told me what to look out for. Just got in, taking a break from three hours of pressure washing the deck. Oy.
