Every time I see this on the shelf I have to pull it out and play it. (Now for example).

Just a perfect disc is so many important ways. Players, song choices, engineering. . . wow.

Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto "A Causa de Voce" Adventure Music cd

I haven't heard the MoFi release prior to this (on LP, I have the SACD).

This One Step is very good--it is a bit more detailed and "sweeter" sounding than the early 'seventies pressing that I have, and the "Fiftieth Anniversary" release I have. But. . . it's very expensive. Not sure for many that it would be worth the dollars to upgrade.

Mal Waldron - Left Alone
I picked it up in Japan. I had been looking for it on vinyl and am not disappointed by the pressing.

The ZKit is still working like a champ. It's now paired with some Frugelhorn XL running Dayton PS180 full range drivers. They are still very "fresh" we'll call it. I'll reserve any judgement until they have 50 hours on them. They are sounding pretty good but this is a very good sounding album.

A stuffy morning. . .  .

Starting off with Grant Green "Feelin' the Spirit" Blue Note Japan SHM-SACD. Wonderful music! Herbie Hancock shines.

Woke up in the cool stillness and enjoyed the sound of the trees and birds for a few minutes. I love living out here by the forest.

Yesterday I pulled Joe Farrell CTI discs from the shelves and am starting with "Joe Farrell Quartet" on CTI, King Jazz cd.



The great team of Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette anchor this one, and the fourth member is either Chick Corea (three tracks) or John McLaughlin (who appears on two tracks only). There are two duo tracks with Joe, one with Chick and one with Dave.

"Kenny Drew Trio" Riverside/JVC XRCD

I always wanted a copy of this XRCD but didn't see one that wasn't expensive. . . until last week, when I saw one on ebay for 5.99 and free shipping. Took a chance that it was in good shape, and it arrived today in EXCELLENT shape.

Deliciously cool this morning!

Starting off with a more modern "Chicago Style" recording I pulled from the shelves. Nothing essential, but well-recorded fun music.

Red Balaban & The Eddie Condon All Stars "Memories Of Condon's - Volume One" Jazzology cd

I bought this because "Bobby Gordon never disappoints."

Bass – Red Balaban
Clarinet – Bobby Gordon
Cornet – Ed Polcer
Drums – Ernie Hackett
Piano – Jim Andrews
Trombone – Ed Hubble

Part one of the recording of all the music that bassist Red Balaban and the Eddie Condon All-Stars played at a 1978 Connecticut concert.

I haven't spun this SACD enough--been listening to the OG LP copy I have a few times since I got this and need to revisit it. Have to admit it sounds fantastic.

Santana "Borboletta" Sony SACD (listening to the stereo layer).



Perhaps my favorite Santana release.

A very interesting jazz guitarist, in the tradition but sounding fresh. The equally interesting pianist Weber Iago is on board, a PLUS.

Re-visiting this one again this morning. I like it a lot, though I confess to not being a big fan of the guitar effects here.

Before re-filing this downstairs in the LP shelves I decided to listen to side B again. This is a corker of an LP and boy does this pressing sound good.

Slept in late this morning. Hardly never happens, feels a bit weird!

It got really cool last night--it's 56 degrees right now!

Down at the beach and sitting here on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Enjoying some Coleman Hawkins over a cup of coffee.  Great way to start the morning.

Miles Davis "The Complete Live in Paris Volume 1 and 2" Lost Recordings UHQCD 2 cd set, disc 1

Recorded at the Olympia Theatre Paris, 11 October, 1960--Davis, Stitt, Kelly, Chambers and Cobb.

I broke down and ordered this, and it arrived today. Only two tracks I think were not released before, and neither have Miles performing--the reason they were orphaned I believe.



Certainly sounds great. Better than previous cd versions.

Can’t get enough of this album.  Such a classic….currently streaming in Qobuz in Hi Res at 24/96.  I have this on vinyl…and it’s phenomenal.

Miles Davis "Porgy and Bess" Sony Blu-Spec CD2

I appreciate these Evan charts more and more as time goes by. They seem less dense than they did in the past and I love the airy layers. This Blu-Spec CD2 edition really does sound great.
