A nice warm morning. I enjoyed a few minutes staring at our dogwood which is fully in bloom--a brief but beauteous few weeks when this hardy tree blooms. (It has been shortened by wind and snow storms twice in the last two decades!)

I'm starting off with a cd that was sent to me inscribed by the artist herself. A wonderful surprise! I really like this disc.

Claudia Acuna "Turning Pages"

A bit cool and soggy. Going to a "protest" at noon in town, so interesting that this little town is hosting one.

Starting off with dsic 2 of Art Pepper "Geneva 1980" Omnivore cd. . . I really like the pianist on this date and other recent live Pepper releases, Milcho Leviev. Sound is okay here--he could be better heard but it's not terrible.

A late start to listening today, tasks got in the way and I didn't have time to myself early in the morning as Lucinda came to life the same time I did.

Starting off with

The Miles Davis "Bitches Brew" Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab One Step 2 LP box of this release I know so well. Waited about 3 years for this I think and was so excited to finally gei it. I have OG Lps, reissue LPs, and one of nearly every cd and SACD release of this title which is so much a part of my listening world and has been from about '72.

Unfortunately. . . Record One, Side One is defective in a way that I have never had an LP be defective before: there is a very loud low frequency buzz that rattles woofers the entire first side, covering up the music itself. The other sides seem to be fine.

Sigh. I'll have to figure out how to get a replacement for that LP.

Sounds very good--a bit "faster" and less warm than the Analogue Productions SACD I also have.

Another soggy cool morning. Spring has really sprung though--it's beautiful to see the lovely early shades of green on the thousands of trees around us.

Starting off with this disc of Sarah Vaughan Mercury recordings. I really like Sarah. I want to love Sarah. I keep listening on and off trying to fall harder for her.

"The Complete Sarah Vaughan on Mercury Vol. 4" disc 1

The Miles Davis "Bitches Brew" Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab One Step 2 LP box

Re-listening to LP 2 of this 2 LP set. It's hard to explain what is the difference between this set and other releases I have. There is more "atmosphere" here and I think it's because the background is so dark and silent that little details come in and help with instrument placement and dynamic texture. During "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" I was able to hear a little more definition and heft to the fascinating notes that Dave Holland was supplying with inspiration. That's among my favorite parts of the release and it was really intriguing to hear.

This is a very interesting mastering and pressing. As a lover of "Bitches Brew" I find it worth the wait.
