Another rare vinyl I discovered in SF, in a sealed version. Sounds wonderful. Recorded in 1962 by Rudy van Gelder, no less. Intoxicating mix of bossa nova jazz with African-fused melody and rhythms.
Another SF record find: a very young 20-year-old Wynton Marsalis playing with a very old Art Blakey, recorded in Paris in 1981. It’s a big band style of jazz, but nice full recording with plenty of dynamics.
Another nice SF vinyl find: Dollar Brand aka Abdullah Ibrahim’s African style jazz. He manages to fuse these two into a medley of intoxicating tunes. A true creative mind. A nice double album that’s recorded well.

Record is in “cold storage” in the archive so this will do for now.

There it is.
I remember watching one of those “we hired a bunch of guitarists to play a solo” video back years ago. She was one of those hired. Other guitarists could certainly “shred” harder and/or were outrageously fast, flashy or unique beyond measure. Lari’s solo was just…extremely pleasing/satisfying. I remember backtracking and watching her play that solo over and over thinking…”she needs to make a record”. That’s no shade on all the other axe-slingers. Though inspired by many, she’s found a unique voice on, quite frankly, an over-played instrument. That’s hard to do.
DISCLAIMER: No relation. No affiliation. No pay out. Just digging the music.

Ammonia Ave & Eye In The Sky are really good. I like Eve too. Alan Parsons made some great music.
Another rarity from my SF Memorial Day vinyl hunting trip: a ERA records reissue of a famous Mercury Living Presence recording of Rodgers composition Pinocchio completed with narration. In typical MLP style, the recording is vivid with excellent detail and instrumental clarity. Just three full-range microphones were used as always.
Another relative rarity: EMI Japan reissue of Bela Bartok piano pieces. Noiseless vinyl with stunning dynamics of the piano.
Foxes in the Snow by Jason Isbell. Fantastic pressing. Vinyl is dead quiet, dynamic, dimensional, and better than streaming. I wish all contemporary records were pressed this well. Kudos to Jason and his label for caring about putting out a quality product at a great price.
