04.03.2026 22:09 β π 5 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0Air Lore is so fucking good. The Blythe is interesting, Abdul Wadud on cello. The guitar player reminds me too much of a better version of myself to really enjoy him. Very different takes on Monk tunes. Good record. A Fickle Sonance is a classic. It even features a Monk tune stolen by Sonny Clark.

I know I said I wouldn't buy anything from a record again store for the foreseeable future but I didn't foresee being near a record store today.
I was in Ottawa all day and ended killing time on Bank Street. There happened to be a store nearby so I stopped in to see what they had. Found these:
The cd phil woods and his European rhythm machine
The lp django reinhardt and Stephane grappelli, quintet of the hot club of France
The cd the Eddie lockjaw Davis cookbook vol. 1
The medeski Martin and wood cd free magic
Today's thrift finds.
