Hi vinyl_lady.
Can't see anything on the cover, it's all black,
is it because it's all black ?

It's a quarter moon on the horizon. The album is Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town.

Fortunately, we can "zoom" & adjust the "brightness level" of our PC screens. ... Unfortunately, our eyes were'nt what they were as we get older. (Hopefully, our ears are a bit behind this aging "curve"

)

1975 Prestige

Wilber Harden
Red Garland
Paul Chambers
Jimmy Cobb

This is a 2 LP reissue. It was recorded in one session in 1958 and released on three different albums, Bahia, Stardust, and Standard Coltrane.

Nice album playing standards. This is very much a Trane session and Wilber Harden sounds a little like Kenny Dorham here. What's not to like, especially with this rhythm section. You can't go wrong with early Trane playing tenor.

The new album from Canada's super group extraordinaire. Power pop at its best!

Great album, but the cuts are way too short.

KOR (Proprius);
LA Jazz Choir (Mobile Fidelity);
Hip Elegy- Joachim Kuhn (German MPS);
Feels Good To Me- Bill Bruford (Polydor).

I know I've got my bidness dialed in when the first one melts me. The separation and tonality of the singers, for example. Been foolin with a sub lately.

1965 Blue Note

Wayne Shorter - tenor saxophone
Freddie Hubbard - trumpet, flugelhorn
Grachan Moncur III - trombone
James Spaulding - alto saxophone
Herbie Hancock - piano
Ron Carter - bass
Joe Chambers - drums
Alan Shorter - flugelhorn

This rather mystical LP isn't normal bop fare. At times it's sort of modern classical arrangements/voicing with great solos and fascinating ensembles.
Alan Shorter is Wayne's brother. He wrote the final piece and appears on that cut only.

This is still a Wayne Shorter jazz album only with a different approach. The All Seeing Eye is about God and the creation of the World etc. Like Trane's spiritual albums, anyone can relate to the music. After nearly 50 years it's not dated. Sounds like it could have been recorded last week.

1988 Muse

Kenny Garrett
Gary Thomas
Mulgrew Miller
Ron Carter
Cindy Blackman

Wallace Roney can really play. Blessed with perfect pitch and a graduate of Berkley School of music, he could sound like any other trumpet player he wants. He's been criticized for imitating Miles Davis and he does it perfectly, a little too precise perhaps, but sometimes you'll think you're listening to Miles. It's not as prevalent on this LP as on some others.

Wallace took trumpet lessons from Miles and Miles was his mentor. Before Wallace got started Miles gave him a trumpet. It's a story not unlike Dizzy giving Lee Morgan a horn. On Lee's first Blue Note album the cover is a picture of him with a Dizzy style bent horn trumpet.

This is Wallace's second album and it's a good one.

Might Mighty Bosstones Let's Face It reissue on white vinyl - what a fun record, my 1 y/o son loved bopping around to it.

James Newton Howard and friends - I think everyone knows how good this one sounds.

Tom Petty Full Moon Fever - such warm, punchy vinyl goodness. what a great sounding record.

R.E.M. Unplugged 1991 - sounds good as well, i'm still waiting on the 2001 release.

James Le Petite Mort - love this band, what U2 might sound like if they didn't stop making good records around 2001 or so
