Back in time to the early years of bebop, with a Swedish clarinetist, an African American master of the tenor saxophone, and the Chicago bandleader and clarinetist Benny Goodman as the man who made it possible. Wow. Great stuff. It's on Dragon so the sound is really good for its age.

Stan Hasselgard & Benny Goodman "At Click, 1948" Dragon cd

Bass – Arnold Fishkind
Clarinet – Benny Goodman, Stan Hasselgard
Drums – Mel Zelnick
Guitar – Billy Bauer
Piano – Teddy Wilson
Tenor Saxophone – Wardell Gray

Recorded "live" at Click, Philadelphia, May 24 to June 5, 1948.

It got cool again after midnight. . . which helped me sleep well. The season ahead is the worst for me for sleeping and listening. . . I'll soon be looking forward to fall!

Starting off wtih a re-listen to this one before it gets re-shelved. A really nice recording, one that allows my brain to flow into a new day smoothly. What this trio does with a "song" really draws one into the music.

Stan Getz Quartet "Stan Getz At Large Plus! Vol. 2" Jazz Unlimited (Storyville label) cd

Like it's companion first volume this reissues the "Stan Getz at Large" Verve concert release with in this case two additional tracks not released before. The sound is very good, slightly different than the Japanese cd version I have from Verve. Fantastic playing--some of my favorite Getz is from this European stay.

A cool morning. Tobi was confronted with a young deer and luckily has learned a little more restraint and stayed by my side rather than chase her off. It's wet out there. . .we had a big thunderstorm and steady rain yestrday afternoon and evening.

Starting off wtih the lovely langorous voice of Lee Wiley, "Music of Manhattan 1951" Uptown Records cd. Mostly air checks in NYC or Massachusetts, nicely recorded. That unique vibrato!

So after a month into my shoulder surgery… I was finally able to use my spin clean machine to clean Van Morrison‘s Moondance 180 gram original album that I picked up new on eBay.

I have to say that on vinyl this album is just amazing!! This is the first time I’m listening to vinyl since the procedure, so quite enjoyable to finally enjoy analog listening.

I never caught the Morrison bug, either Van or Jim.

Right now the very first album by Roberta Flack. I have this and three other of her albums from my younger years, a little worse for the wear, and amazon has the new cd box set of her Atlantic Albums at a good price right now, so I sprang for that. Nice to hear this again without snap crackles and pops.

Roberta Flack "First Take"

From this box set

My OG LP of this is not in immaculate shape, and I found it hard to resist going for the "Wheels of Fire" Super Deluxe edition released last week.

This Cream 2 LP set was a favorite of my early growing fascination with music--especially the studio material which is rich and varied, full of then cool hip production and the very intriguing forms and sounds of "Pssing the time" and "As You Said."

This new edition is pretty good, I'm listening to both versions of the studio material on disc 1 Mine is the Japanese SHM-CD edition, arrived from cdjapan today.

Something very different now. It makes me feel so glad that my system can take two very different recordings, different in so many ways, and deliver them so faithfully and with such "feeling.

Now it's Carmen McRae "Bords of a Feather" Decca Japan lp facsimile cd

Ben Webster, Al Cohn, Mundell Lowe and Billy Bauer all stand out here.

A nice cool, quiet morning. Starting off with an album I haven't played in a while, Geroge Russell "The Status Seekers," Riverside LP

Don Ellis (trumpet) Dave Baker (trombone) John Pierce (alto sax) Paul Plummer (tenor sax) George Russell (piano) Stephen Swallow (bass) Joe Hunt (drums) recorded at Plaza Sound Studios, NYC, January 31, 1962

One of the very intersting Russell albums during these years, forward and swinging in a new way.

Arrived last night and I picked up out of my package box this morning. . . wow, been waiting for this.

Miles Davis "Miles '56" Prestige/Concord 3 cd set, disc 1 playing now.

This set starts off with the final recording of Miles with Sonny Rollins (and Tommy Flanagan and Paul Chambers and Art Taylor) and then moves into the recordings with the Quintet with John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.

The sound here is excellent--remastered by Paul Blackmore and restored utilizing the Plangent Process. I've many versions of this music and the music transcends any mastering. . . but I would put this right up there with my favorite versions that I have owned which are the XRCD24 lp facsimile cd releases of the First Great Quintet material.

A great addition to the 100th birthday Miles Davis reissue release series from labels.

A warm Sunday morning. I'm going to church this morning as my youngest brother is subbing for the minister and delivering the sermon--he has never done this before and I want to hear this and support him.

Starting off with Mario Adnet/Phillipe Baden Powell "Afro Samba Jazz" Adventure Music cd. This sounds so good--I was gifted a fantastic 12AU7 and I want to assess the system sound with it in place. The system is really shining.

Reply #28993 - Today at 15:21:43 I guess you have to call OK Computer an oldie at this point, as it is almost 30. And I hadn't listened to it in years, which is a mistake because it is also a classic. On CD. Unfortunately the recording is a casualty of the "loudness wars" so while it generally sounds really good it has almost no dynamic range.
