off on a business trip, this was on the thumb drive that i brought along.  who’s that? i said, being ever feeble minded when it comes to remembering names.  listened to it … loved it.  the dime page showed that i d/l’ed it back in oct 2010 (tip o’ the hat to piergi), and liked it enough to add a comment that i loved it.  well, i haven’t changed, i still love it.  now where can i get some more?

i’m in budapest at the moment.  great city, really enjoy it every time that i come here.  but you need to plan ahead, which i singularly failed to do, as the penultimate performance of wagner’s the flying dutchman was on the day i arrived (arrive sooner… coulda woulda shoulda) and the last performance is on saturday (but i must be off friday night).  oh well.  looking into the schedule around the next couple of month-ends, maybe i can catch something here then… .. .

hungarians really seem to like meat, i swear it seems as if every dish has a bit, even my layered cabbage appetizer tonight.  the place we went boasted about it (meat, that is), and on the back of the waiter’s shirts, over a shoulder blade, it said things like ‘vegetarians are people who eat side dishes’ & ‘real men eat meat’.  and something i’ve not seen in a ‘meat’ restaurant:  a large group of women having dinner together.  didn’t look to see what they were having, but probably not side dishes.

here’s a great show by the charlie haden quartet from sometime in 1988, down in nice, southern france.  don’t know precisely when or where (maybe the nice jazz festival?), nor even if it’s the whole show… but it’s well worth a listen; i’ve added the entire 11-minute first song as a sample.

well, enough slow and sad.  while we’re still close enough to christmas to get away with it, here is my all-time favorite christmas jazz show, featuring the fantastic dwight trible singing.  why have i not heard of him before?  anyway, the seeder on dime (ladyface57) “edited out two songs which do not fit in this category”… i’m not sure if ladyface57 meant jazz or christmas or both.  around here, this got a lot of play over the past few weeks (i even burnt an audio cd!).  so tuck this away for another 11 months & then do the same.

ran across this a week or so ago, when i was tidying things up a bit, and realized that i’d played it 3 or 4 times since.  so here it is.  slow, kind of sad (“turn out the stars”; “ne me quittes pas”;”i ain’t got nothing but the blues”), just the thing for these short, cold, wet early january days when the christmas cheer is fading away…
