3 CD's I've been playing over and over:

Sonny Rollins Vol. 2
I've several others of his (really like Alfie) but this one, prolly cause JJ Johnson is featured a lot on trombone is the best. Paul Chambers bows his bass on Mysterioso which knocks me out. And Monk on piano. Great sound, too.

Miles Davis Round About Midnight
Good stuff, really soulful by Davis but the best, most listenable playing I have heard from Coltrane.

Freddy Cole Merry-Go-Round
#1 sound. Telarc hybrid SACD. Good band, especially Lou Marini best known by me for the Blues Brothers playing on the lunch counter at Aretha's Cafe. Cole's renditions of classics like Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and It's Impossible are very evocative of his brother but the interpretations more modern.

Have to admit these are easy, rather than challenging to listen to. But then I've always been easy.

Great selections. I'll have to check them out, 'specially Sonny Rollins catches my fancy. I've been on a Nat King Cole kick this week, in between bouts of Eddie (the new kid in my house).

Melissa posted a link in the Tower to a little website she made with a few more pics. There are a ton of pictures we've taken that won't be posted. One is of the little guy in a Halloween outfit she thinks is cute - a little pepper - and every guy I show it to says, "oh, man, that's just wrong" or "oh no" or "that's gonna be embarassing when he gets older." You know the kind of pic - the kind that all chicks think is cute as hell and guys can't figure out at all.
