One of those that you had to be there in that time for it to mean anything to you.

That was quite a movie, a sensation at the time.

We got a little bit of snow overriight, enough that the bare trees will be wearing white coats and the beauty will be back with the dawn.

I decided to start off with the second disc of this 2 cd set, which I have not yet played though I have spun the first disc three times!

Monday Michiru "Optimista"

I got a copy that (I hope is skip through unlike the one I have on hand) I received today at the same time that a new trio of 845 tubes arrived and I'm testing both out.

No skipping so that's a good thing (I found I had two copies a year or so ago and gave one away, seems I gave a skip-free one away as the one I pulled out a week ago does have a skip). I really love this disc. It has Monday's magic on it and also a samba-esque feel to much of the material. A great recording as well.

It's showing the new tube I installed in my Dynagrid Jr. outboard rectifier is giving me just what I hoped for.

Bill Evans "Inner Spirit: he 1979 Concert At The Teatro General San Martin" Resonance Records 2 cd set, disc 1

This was on sale for 7.99 at Resonance Records online so I bought a copy (and two other titles) as a birthday present for my best friend and sent it to him in Austin today. It's one of my favorite of the Evans releases this century so I decided to pull it out and put one of the discs on. (Sounds really good, and really good with the new 845).

I had forgotten this was the first RCA release by Desmond, putting him in a much different setting than a quartet setting, probably a smart move but time has proven this to be less discussed than those that followed on RCA.

I like this though, and yet. . . even with Jim Hall. . . I miss the blend of Desmond and Brubeck, it's like sweet and sour, or just the right blend of spices in a curry.

This has become my favorite batch of Art Tatum recordings. So much energy, joyful dissonance, superhuman flights of fingers. And Slim and Everett!

"Jewels In The Treasure Box: The 1953 Chicago Blue Note Jazz Club Recordings" Resonance Records 3 cd set, disc 3 at the moment.

And Resonance Records online STILL has the 3 cd set for 9.99.

Miles Davis Quintet "Paris Jazz Festval - Salle Pleyel - 10/1/1964" 2 SACD set from Sony in the 7" packaging series. Disc 1

This is one concert from the recent Sony box set of French concerts, and I enjoy these shows. The SACD may not sound that much different than the cd release, but the subtle difference is audible mainly in dynamic contrast.

One of Shorter's first shows with the Quintet and there's a sense that the rhythm section is really enjoying supporting hin and prodding him a bit.
