"Tyree Glenn at the London House in Chicago" Roulette/Warner Bros. Japan cd

Not really a live recording, but Glenn was apparently appearing at the London House at the time. I love the Roulette recording sound of the time, and this is a great opportunity to hear some guitar from Mary Osborn. And I've always enjoyed the full and vocal sound from Glenn. The rest of the band is great as well: Shorty Baker, Hank Jones, Milt Hinton and Jo Jones.

This was recorded at a party for the record label at the Plaza Hotel. (The first "volume" released was the Miles Davis Sextet's performance). I love that Jimmy Rushing and Billie Holiday each do a guest vocal here.

Wow, it will be 46 degrees today. A heat wave! And . . . no snow.

Watched seven deer walk across our back yard into our side yard and then across the road into the forest. They are active in the heat (29 degrees right now) and seemed happy, looking for food. I love my sylvan world.

Starting off a listening session with the second disc from the last music I listened to yesterday . . .

Well that was a brief bit of warmth, cold snap is here and the temperature will lower over the next few days. Sigh.

Starting off the morning with a different input tube in the SEWE300B (a National from Steve) and things are sounding good. I listened again to the 10" Tal Farlow of the McGhee/Farlow disc I had finished up listening to yesterday, and now am listening to the third disc of "Classic V-Disc Big Band Jazz Sessions" Mosaic Records 10 disc set.

On to disc 2 of this set, recorded at Ronnie Scott's in London in 1969. This would be/would have been a good candidate for the Plangent Process, but still sounds quite good. Marty Morell may not be the most popular drummer that Evans hired, but he had a long tenure and I find much to admire in his drumming (I used to be a drummer myself, some years ago).

A "peppier" Evans performance than many others.

Going to be warmer today. Had a hard time staying asleep so decided to get an early start and have some "me time" listening. There's deer activity out there, fun to observe. The last time I was outside and saw a few deer in the yard I told them (one was a buck warily observing me) that they were welcome here and would come to no harm, and coincidentally there have been more deer hanging around, even sleeping or resting on the ivy, and passing through since.

Listening to an ezz-thetics cd remake of the Impulse John Coltrane "One Down, One Up" 2 cd set, called "ong Of Praise New York 1965 Revisited" and I was told it sounds way better than the Impulse, and it does. I think this is an imortant musical document.

The Best of Canned Heat. I am grooving to this compilation. Some of the recordings on this CD have a real presence especially the vocals. Almost got the gain structure back to the previous setting. The ZSTYX are shifting to the brighter side of dark.
We have a small ‘family’ of deer that been here for years. They sleep in various places from within my yard and adjacent woods all the way down to Route 30.

I don't often see the same deer. When I do it is usually doe with young fawns. Twice VERY young fawns have been left by Mom here while she foraged. Their cries for her are eery sounding. I imagine there is a multitude living in the state wildlife preserve (big forest) across the narrow road from me.

"Duke Ellington on Mercer--Great Tunes"

This is a fascinating disc. It compiles all the masters of the material Duke participated in on his son Mercer's record label, all issued under the names of Ellington sidemen, some of the "expensive gentlemen."

Sound is not great because the masters are gone and Jasmine is not the be all and end all of excellent remasterers, but the playing is excellent and there's a different vibe to this material than on other labels imo.

It is predicted to be in the mid-forties today. Will feel like a. heat wave! I'll be hard-pressed to keep my wife indoors.

Starting off the quiet this neighborhood has on Saturday and Sunday mornings with Melissa Aldana "Filin" Blue Note cd, just released yesterday. I really like her work and she has been touring overseas for months and is on the top of her game. This is very mellow, building slowly, and I remember from my old band days how difficult it was for me to manufacture and maintain such beauty, and I really admire that skill.
The album is dedicated to ballads, inspired and mostly following the Cuban style known as "filin." The recording is excellently engineered.

I'm on the spin of the last disc in my comparison of the new remaster and remix of Yes "Tales of Topographic Oceans" that I am spinning for a report for my best friend of my impressions. I really like both the new remaster, and Steven Wilson's new remix. Two very good presentations of music I love. After this I can move on to the other cds in the box set, and the LPs!

This listen is to disc 1 of the set, the first two LP sides, newly remastered.

Another warmer night and a warmer day ahead. Lots of melting going on. . . I expect soon to hear the crashing sound of snow and ice sliding off the roof!

The eery quiet of a Sunday morning out here . . . the already low ambient sound lowered still. I really enjoy being up this early and spinning a disc. I'm starting off with a bunch of real pros, One4All, "The Long Haul" on Criss Cross.
