Just some guy spinning records in his basement, loving the green shag, and writing about it for ecoustics. Vintage audio, vinyl, jazz and jazz kissa. And I like cats.

#ReneeRosnes’ birthday today. Happy happy! Looking forward to seeing her and #Artemis in Calgary in June!

I likes me some small-group #McCoyTyner, and this 1962 trio session (Reaching Fourth) on #ImpulseRecords with Henry Grimes and Roy Haynes is a doozie.

Morning spin of #SonnyStitt’s 1963 #ImpulseRecords release, Now! The man was one heck of a sax player!

Christmas is well and truly over, but this green and red combo sure is festive. Sunday evening with #EnricoRava and #MarioRusca, and their 1997 album D.N.A., first released on vinyl for RSD 2022. Italian jazz!

Every year I create a 4x4 bingo card of records I want to get. I call this #WantListBingo. Here’s my almost completed 2024 card, and the new one for 2025 (with one obvious carry over). Wish me luck!

Happy Friday night from Calgary. Settling in for a session of #JapaneseJazz here, starting with a new Shungo Sawada reissue.

Thought I had a copy of #CliffordJordan’s eponymous 1957 album with #LeeMorgan (the one given a #TonePoet reissue in November). Went to play it last week only to discover I was mistaken. That’s been rectified now. Lovely record, and Lee slays as usual.

Rejigged the office system, with Sony PS1 connected to a Rogersound Labs ia255.1 mini amp feeding ADS L200’s (similar to Minimus 7, but better sound). MacBook Air interfaces with the amp by USB, office laptop by Bluetooth, and PS1 by RCA. A small package with punch.

The first audiophile vinyl I purchased was in the lockdown summer of 2020. Ordered a copy through Discogs of the 2015 #AnalogueProductions reissue of #GeneAmmons’ 1960 masterpiece, Boss Tenor. Gene had one of the biggest, fattest, smoothest tenor sounds. AP does him justice.

Back to very cold in Calgary as of Dec. 31 (good for allergies, but bad for wanting to venture outdoors). Warming things up with the #Bossa sounds of #AntonioCarlosJobim and Wave from 1967.

Happy New Year from Calgary!

It’s been warm in Calgary for about a week now (benefits of Chinook conditions). Unfortunately for me warm = snow melt = snow mold = allergies, so I’m feeling a bit out of it. A little #AstrudGilberto is perking me up though; such carefree, uplifting music!

Merry Christmas from Calgary. Enjoying one of THE great holiday albums, by Bobby Timmons, on System No. 2 in the living room. Crack open the egg nog!

6 years ago when we had JUST moved into our new house, a Photoshop-savvy IG fan put together this #ChristmasStory themed edit of the Shag Palace. System and furnishings have changed since then, but those lamps would make an awesome addition! Merry Christmas to you.

One of my favourite holiday records (of only three in my whole collection). Have Yourself A Soulful Little Christmas by #KennyBurrell is a delight.

Something about vocal jazz at Christmas time just feels right, even when it’s not Christmas music.

I’m admittedly more a fan of instrumental jazz than vocal, but I heard a LOT of vocal sides at Jazz Kissas in Japan in September and I’ve been bitten by the bug. Now spinning #BlossomDearie’s eponymous 1957 effort, reissued last year.

From this angle the #Klipsch Forte’s look a bit like Cornwalls! Ceiling shot, listening to Toshiko Akiyoshi and then-husband Charlie Mariano’s quartet.

Canadian treasure! #OscarPeterson with his tight-knit, on-point trio live at the London House in Chicago in 1961. The Sound Of The Trio on #VerveRecords.

Another #BillEvans collaboration, this time with #ArtFarmer and #BennyGolson on 1958’s Modern Art. Anything with Evans’ name on it is pure gold, and this is no exception.

When #CannonballAdderley and #BillEvans played together, good things happened. Know What I Mean?

New tubes arrived for the Dynaco today. These Ray Tubes KT88s are monsters, and sound pretty great. Getting into their second hour of use here with #BillEvans and #JimHall… will be interesting to see how these develop as they settle in.

Favorite turntable in the collection? Pretty sure the custom Lenco L70 is it. Late ‘60s idler drive with original tonearm and Shure M44. Just a beauty!
