Tuned in, box!

Hope you're enjoying it, paulsc. How's your night? My favorite local liquor store just reopened in a bigger building, next door to their old location. It looks like the new building has a lot more cooler space, which makes me hope that they'll soon have an even larger beer selection.

So far:
Ella Fitzgerald - I Ain't Got Nothin' But the Blues
Cal Tjader - Pete Kelly's Blues
Grant Green - Blues for Juanita
Duke Pearson - Blues for Alvina
Oliver Nelson - Teenie's Blues

Good stuff!

"...How's your night?..."

We had hella thunderstorms late this afternoon, and a tree limb came down in my back yard, so it was an exciting late afternoon, early evening, here. The power went out only breifly, but enough to make dinner a late proposition. So, we're sitting on full bellies here, box, with a fresh Dry Rob Roy, expectin' great things :-)

Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich - Gene's Blues
Miles Davis - Ahmad's Blues
John Coltrane - Chronic Blues
Charles Mingus - Cryin' Blues
Cecil Taylor - Charge 'em Blues

Oh, my. I hope the fallen limb didn't smash anything too important. A Dry Rob Roy? What's that, a glass full of Scotch?

"...A Dry Rob Roy? What's that, a glass full of Scotch? ..."

Scotch, white vermouth, lemon zest, and when I make 'em, a splash of soda, and a smidge of Angostura. Those, and ales are my summer drinks.

You segue'd so easily from paulsc, I didn't even notice. Well, bravos to both of you...

I'm such a sucker for blues. Keep it up.

For such a blues fan, I have a paltry collection (Read: Absolutely nothing on my computer).
:(

I wannnnt.

That's a tasty- and luxurious-in-a-summer-way-sounding drink, paulsc.

Thelonious Monk - Blues for Tomorrow
Ahmed Abdul-Malik - Oud Blues
Bobby Hutcherson - Blues Mind Matter
Philip Cohran and the Artistic Heritage Ensemble - New Frankiphone Blues
Air - Buddy Bolden's Blues

Matthew Shipp Trio - The 'C' Jam Blues
William Parker Quartet - Hunk Pappa Blues
The Platters - Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight

As per usual for me, this is the last song. Thanks so much for listening, and goodnight.

Great set, box. Anybody looking through your playlists sees a great sample of mainstream jazz, and could start or update a "to buy" list right here.

Thanks!

That was a good segue. Nice.
