Tom Harrell "Light On" High Note cd

This is the first recording of a working band he kept for years and which was a great unit.

Tom Harrell – flugelhorn, trumpet
Wayne Escoffery – tenor saxophone
Danny Grissett – piano, Fender Rhodes
Ugonna Okegwo – bass
Johnathan Blake – drums

I really like all the albums recorded with this quintet.

Today I've been on a Warren Zevon jag.
Currently "Life Will Kill Ya" is playing. I always considered it as the album that marked his "comeback" after years of silence.

On a personal note, I've spent the last month or so getting poked, prodded, CT scanned, MRI'ed and Biopsied.
Hopefully this week I will speak to the surgeon that will take the bad giblets out of me.
Interestingly the surgeon has a whole page on his website talking about using music to cure people.
I can get behind that thought.

COLD. Thank goodness for that new furnace, despite the fact that it has caused me a financial tizzy!

I have neglected listening to Cannonball too long, going to make up for that this morning!

It's going to be a bit on the warmer side today, up to 40 degrees, the high from yesterday. Still feels cold . . . I'm thinking of a sweater! (Not something I normally wear).

Starting off with the warm Brazilian sound of "Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum"--graceful, expertly played Jobim music by his son and some of his favorite band mates.

Unfortunately other than doing a bit of isolation component shifting I didn't get to spend time with the system yesterday. I missed it! I hope to get a little time in today. Everything changes when I don't listen to enough music.

Starting off a cold morning with "Hal Wilner Presents Weird Nightmare--Meditations on Mingus." This recording has fascinated me for decades with its use of instruments developed by Hary Partch. A very interesting release--and I love the Mingus music at its core.
