The Basie swing is a nice propellant for the day.

A cool, still morning. One of "our" owls is making his distinctive call in the wooded side lot we have. I love to hear these birds! Fiona the dachshund is a bit fiesty, but indicates she'll settle down soon.

Joe Lovano "Bird Song" Blue Note cd

This is a session I really enjoy--the two drummers are really well arranged and add a special sauce to this. And the focus on Parker material is successful and seems innovative. The lovely Ms Spalding sounds great here too--her bass is deep sounding and her playing precise.

Joe Lovano, Saxophones
James Weidman, Piano
Esperanza Spalding, Bass
Otis Brown III, Drums
Francisco Mela, Drums

Sun Ra "At The Showcase: Live In Chicago 1976-1977" Jazz Detective 2 cd set, disc 1

I've grown less and less interested in Sun Ra in the mid-to-late 'Seventies and beyond, picked this one up because I suspected the sound was good and to check out the performances.

It's. . . okay. Not the worst of this vintage I've heard performance wise, and the sound is quite good. May go on the trade/sell pile, we'll see.

"Lena & Gabor" Skye/Muzak Japan cd.

The seeming (to me) unusual pairing of Lena Horne with Gabor Szabo--which is interestingly arranged by Gary McFarland and features a proto-"Stuff" personnel.

Over time I've learned to appreciate what McFarland was up to which is integral here. I confess. . . I do like this one and this Muzak reissue sounds phenomenal on the system this morning.

Lena was such a beauty with a wonderful voice.

Lena Horne – vocals
Gábor Szabó – guitar
Eric Gale, Cornell Dupree – guitar
Richard Tee – organ
Chuck Rainey – electric bass
Grady Tate – drums
Gary McFarland – arranger, conductor
Unknown strings and horns
The Howard Roberts Chorale – vocals
Howard Roberts – vocal arrangement

It was my wife's birthday yesterday and I didn't get much listening in but helped her have a fun day.

This cool morning I wanted to sleep in late but Fiona the dachshund had other plans. Certainly was a nice little walk and I'm starting off the listening with disc 3 of this interesting "anthology" tribute 4 cd set:

Jazz Celebration: A Tribute to Carl Jefferson
