Alright time to shift gears into something a little more serious... the acoustic tracks on this bonus album are stunning, plus I have a great story about this one.

I just discovered this artist (Dido) last year about a month before flying to Saint Johns Island to visit my daughter and grandchildren. I was really taken by her voice, you know, one of those artists who's vocal harmonics and personality give you goosebumps when you listen. This one is in my top ten list.

A fun side note: On the way home after a nice three day visit my wife and I found ourselves in an airport trying to kill a couple hours and after walking around until our feet hurt and eating somewhere as slow we could there was nothing to do but go to the gate and cop a seat for the last hour.

I'm setting there looking down at my phone and someone walked up and sat down across from us. She was wearing bib overalls, had brunette hair, and dark sunglasses. She was by herself. There was something eerily familiar about her so I watched her watch her phone and eat her sandwich and then she took off her sunglasses and I realized it was Dido! It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up! I've stood face to face with Robert Plant and that didn't give me half the rush...

Folks, if you grew up with this album, like I did, this is a must have. This is Aqualung 2011(40th Anniversary)Steven Wilson Stereo Remix. This was one of the first HD files I purchased several years ago, but I always thought the digital was lacking. I had read of this vinyl edition being really good, but it is a jaw dropper. And the packaging is the best I’ve seen. It has a thick cover, and is made like a book. See photos.

I've had a lap dog a bit under the weather the last few days and so haven't had a lot of room for my laptop to post what I'm listening to.

Today she's feeling a bit better and I have a bit more room.

Listened to "Capuchin Swing" by Jackie McLean, the Blue Note title on SACD from Analogue Productions. The title song is about as close to "Star Eyes" as you can get I guess and still be another tune!

Then I switched gears and listened to the sceond disc of the third show in the June 1976 box set new from Grateful Dead.

I switched gears to the Mosaic Set of "The Complete Woody Herman Decca, Mars and MGM Studio Sessions 1943-1954" disc 2

It occurred to me that Woody Herman would fit right in vocally with the Dead. . . .

Now, Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden's duo cd "Jasmine"

Wow, that was a blast from the past. I wore that 2 album set out and between me and my siblings playing it through the first half of the 'seventies don't need to hear (or see) it again.

Now when I see Andrew Lloiyd Weber I think of what the late Michael Stern, OBE, said then my Headmaster (and founder) of the incredibly excellent Waterford Kamhlaba boarding school I went to in M'Babane and feel was the best years of my life. Before he founded the school in Swaziland, Michael Stern had been a professor/teacher at the Westminster School in London and Weber had been one of his Latin students. Stern felt that Latin was a very important subject for success; he had been my Latin teacher as well and I came into the school with no Latin when the class was in its second year and I was forced to do two years of work in one year to catch up--and was first in my class by the next year. When your headmaster is the Latin teacher you work hard! Anyway Stern told us that one of the few times he had been wrong about a student was when Weber was doing so poorly at Latin. Stern told Weber that if he didn't shape up and do well at Latin he would "never amount to anything in life." That it turns out. . . was grossly inaccurate. He was proud that he was wrong and one of his students, even a poor one, had done so well even then at such a young age (this story was told us in '71).

I like Superstar but I'm really burned out on it!

I managed to sneak in one more disc of the Woody Herman, but my wife is off work yesterday through Sunday so probably won't get much listening in. . . which is a shame as my system never sounded better and even though I have done a lot of listening in this "hunker down at home" scenario--taken very seriously for about a month now in Ohio, for which I'm thankful--I just never get enough listening in. God bless Decware and PS Auido!

Did my federal and state taxes and I'm trying to assuage the sting of writing two checks with some great music.

Started with some lovely Dexter Gordon, the SACD of the Blue Note title "Dexter Calling" put out by Analogue Productions.

And on to Billie Holiday "All or Nothing at All" the Verve sessions on Analogue Production SACD. These Verve titles done by Analogue Productions via Sterling Sound sound FANTASTIC.

Hodges had such an amazing tone!

I started the listening today off with this fantastic sounding SACD, Horace Silver "The Tokyo Blues" Blue Note/Analogue Productions. This is one of the best sounding SACDs in the series

Followed by an Impulse SACD, "Salt and Pepper" Sonny Stitt and Paul Gonsalves, Analogue Productions SACD.

I think Paul should have gotten top billing on this one, his tone alone is so outstanding, and his ideas pull me in.

Now on to a less great sounding disc but a great performance, Cannonball Adderley Quintet, "Inside Straight" on OJC cd.

I keep revisiting this one of late in part because it keeps showing up on listening lists which nudges me but in large part because it's such a great listen.

Over time what strikes me about this one is the precision of the playing. The bright grooves just keep rolling and everyone is rhythmically right there even when passionately preaching' in their solos.

These players really seem to be enjoying playing together and there's so much "spirit" here.

Joe Henderson "Page One" Blue Note/Analogue Productions SACD.

This SACD sounds great, but I also enjoy the SHM-CD and the Platinum SHM-CD (mono) from Blue Note Japan/Universal. It's just a very well recorded RVG date in my opinion. The horns especially have a full, projected sound.

Now on to Monday Michiru's "Soulception" . . . . A lovely, jazzy album from this kick-ass woman.

Monday has her grasp on so many genres she is almost like a human octopus. Ed Motta appears here to duet as well, a big plus in my estimation as I love his voice.

Monday's music and words are always relaxing and positive. I'm so glad that I found her through Jim Sangrey's encouragement.

Finally finished listening to the June 1976 box set from the Grateful Dead. This set has me re-evaluating 1976 and had me sampling some other shows, but it wouldn't surprise me that if I listened to all that I have (and I have all the official releases) these shows might not turn out to be among the top shows.

My favorite sequence of tracks I just re-listened to:

“St. Stephen”
“Not Fade Away”
“Stella Blue”
“Samson and Delilah”
“Friend of the Devil”

Beacon Theatre, NY, NY (6/15/76)

There are killer mid-sections of "St. Stephen" and "Not Fade Away" that show that the whole band (especially Keith, who is making strong contributions) came to play and to recapture that seat-of-the-pants exploration in a new way. And there's such a languid "Stella Blue" that it's comfortably numbed with ghostly moments. The swamp funk groove of "Samson and Delilah" seems no little feat and a new groove for the band, and the country calypso of "Friend of the Devil" sells this story of the friend who hasn't yet shot the sheriff but might because he's being pursued. . . .

Sound is really good on this set. GBPP (God Bless Plangent Process).

This is unusual for me, I'm not what you would call a Beatles fan.

Hard to believe that me, as a 59 year old man, is half of a generation removed from the Beatles really having any kind of impact on me or my music preferences.

Yes I know the impact that they had, but I was 9 when they broke up. It is interesting how things change from a fifty year view.

I've had this vinyl album forever. Spinning over the years as a reference, it has finally registered it's mark with the latest additions too my system. I sat in the Chariot this morning listening to The Overture of 1812 while reading Steve's latest on this forum and was abruptly interrupted by the first cannon shot and never did get to finish what was on hand! I just kept repeating Wow...Wow...Wow Shocked

Reply #18799 - 04/24/20 at 04:09:21 Jimi Hendrix - Crash Landing This was my introduction to Jimi when I was 16, and one of my most sacred albums. Although it got the Alan Douglas treatment, it is still one of my favorite Hendrix albums.
