Richard Hollyday: Moment's Notice



Shiah LP

I got a chuckle out of your choice. I had also ordered Rich’s album, but never did play it as I had decided not to revive my analog rig.

Too bad, it is a really good album.

Just got my copy of Art Blakey "Night at Birdland" Vol2 w/ Horace Silver, Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson, and Curly Russell.
So many giants playing together in a club. What a trip it would have been to be able to hear that in person.  Even listening to the mono LP is pretty darn good.

A friend mentioned that he had a Blue Note stereo copy, which sent me to Google to do some research.  "A Night at Birdland" was recorded in Feb. 1954, way before Blue Note was doing stereo recordings.  Rudy van Gelder (chief engineer) didn't even own a two track deck until 1957... so some the early stereo releases from the late 50's and early 60's that were re-releases of popular mono recordings were based off of the one track master tapes.   They were some sort of signal manipulation.  So if looking at early Blue Notes, be aware that stereo releases of performances before '57 may not be what you think they are.

Steven Wilson: 12 Things I Forgot




Tidal Streaming

This came up in the new releases section on Tidal. It is only 4 songs , so I am hoping that this is just a preview of a soon to be released new album, because I liked what I heard.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band - Straight to You: Live



Tidal Masters 48

I saw these guys last year as the warm up band for Buddy Guy. Had they been playing with anyone else they could have easily been the headliner.

The Rolling Stones: Steel Wheels Live - Atlantic City, New Jersey



Tidal Masters 48

Another live Stones album. Nothing particularly better an any of the other multitude of live albums they have put out.

Worth a listen if you can find it for free on a streaming service, but I heard nothing that would have compelled me to lay out cash for it.

It was on this day in 2012 that Dave Brubeck passed away, just 1 day shy of his 92nd birthday. That means tomorrow will be the 100th anniversary of his birth.

In memory of the man that brought Jazz into the mainstream it is time for a memorial spin of the album that pretty much kicked that off.
