The dog is snoring in time to the music next to me on the listening chair--there is just enough room for us both. Starting with Carmen Staaf "Sounding Line" Sunnyside cd. Five pieces by Monk, five by Mary Lou Williams, and two originals.

A warm, windy morning. Slept in and Memphis wanted to sleep in as well.

Started off with a box set I finally found at a decent price that I have wanted, disc 1 of 2, Clarke-Boland Big Band "Blowin' the Cobwebs Out"

I've had most of this music on LP and cd for decades, but I always wanted this compilation and am glad to have it now. Sounds great here as well. This band was truly outstanding--dynamic, vivid, chockful of great soloists and exciting arrangements. One day I'll find a decently priced copy of the other Emanonn box set of this band, "Historically Speaking". . . .
