a great find

Sunday afternoon I went to my antique mall. I found a few 45s for my friend Tink who has a great Podcast on mixcloud. Not expecting to find anything for myself I decided to flip through the CD rack just for the heck of it and came upon this and of course had to get it!

Jazzy Swinging Jams

 I'm not sure exactly when I made this. I think around 2011- 2012! I was just getting back into listening to jazz.. after my dad died in 2006 I didn't listen to jazz for several months. My dad loved jazz and standards of the 40s and 50s. I didn't listen to any of it for months after Dad died. I got sad if I tried. I made this for a fellow mix maker and I made myself a copy. Herb Albert and The Pete fountain tracks remind me of my Dad but now its OK. I think many of the tracks came from the Library.
   I listened to this the other night and it makes me smile now.
A retired coworker turned me on to Nina Simone in the Early 1990s when he gave me a record to put it on a cassette for him.
Medeski Martin and wood  oh yeah the was one I picked up at the library. Bubblehouse was a track that I got turned onto along with the track blocked by glare here. sorry about that!

My exploration and education in world music continues

 If you have a curiosity about Latin music and world music in General this is a great CD to pick up.
 a Great addition on my Putumayo collection!

oh no more snow

                                           Yep mother nature dumped another 3 inches on us,dalaying spring even more!Grrr!

 
                             Oh but thank God for music.Satuday I took a walk to Butlers where they have a small display of CDs,This CD was calling my name! Listening to this makes me thingk of warm nights on the porch listening to this while sipping on a cold glass of wine!Oh yeah!
