Trying to tidy up my CD collection, went to list on @discogsofficial.bsky.social four volumes of this collection, only to find it's banned from sale.
Jumped other to ebay, of course there are copies for sale in the USA.

Put this on the headphones, today worth it.

Bandcamp in general is OK as a platform, they do though have a problem with dodgy off platform downloads, often of copyright material which asks for payment.
It's taken them 3-months to action one of my reports.

One thing we know about Trump, he won't have rehearsed; he can't stay on script; his arrogance will take up too much time; it's about him. he will make a ton of factual errors; discuss his piece prize(yes not peace); OK six things at least.

Sunday. Little known Creed Taylor production, doesn't carry a credit. Shavers playing that late 50's melancholy trumpet. Imagine sitting in Charlies, mostly empty, a few drinkers, some smoke. Guys with PTSD staring at the bottom of a glass...

This is #2/50 original 1968 Pete Turner "Giraffe" large scale prints from Jan. 1968 - It was owned by Creed Taylor. It's the cover picture from the 1967 Anton Carlos Jobim album "Wave".
What's is worth? Dunno but I couldn't come up with a big enough number for the seller to sell it to me.

The Internet Archive has its detractors, they continue to work on some awesome projects. They've built Ruffle, an Adobe Flash player. That allowed me to open the now-long gone David Horrowitz website and convert some of his showreels to mp4 files from flash

November 29! Happy Birthday to Billy Hart!!!
Jabali is 85 today. The new record on Smoke Sessions is out: MULTIDIRECTIONAL.
We started our three night run at Smoke last night; Billy sounds GREAT, as do Mark Turner and Ben Street.

Not from Creed's pantheon, although he did release a Mitchell live at the playboy club.
