This is a stellar recording!!

Well guys,
It is Michael W. Smith again. "Worship". It is a Dvd in surround sound, and it just doesn't get old.

I am so impressed with full on talent in a HUMBLE person.

God Bless,
Wayne

Here is a wonderful Jazz album, from a favorite show of mine: HBO's Treme Season 2.

Thursday morning... who's annoying the neighbors this morning?

Mike Stern - Between the Lines (1996 Atlantic)

Noteworthy tracks include...The Vine, Lose the Suit, You Never Know.....
Dave Weckl is on drums...great work as always.

This evening, letting the stress of the day wash away while listening to "The Voice"
Vusi Mahalasela: When You Come Back.
This South African musician has a beautiful silky voice with a great band to back him up.

I wanna rip it, rock it, really bop it, flip it flop it, davy crockett, every time I hear that mellow saxophone.
What's playing this morning?

Mapleshade's Music Festival - (2001 Mapleshade)

Favorite tracks: Mellow saxophone (Chuck Brown) ; Nick of Time (Sunny Sumter & The Larry Willis Quintet)

This is a quote from the Mapleshade website:
Here are 13 of our best sounding tracks...everything from blues & R&B to Gospel & jazz. There's a single thread that connects all our artists... they're passionate about music. Modesty aside, it's doubtful you'll find another CD that melds such wide ranging music styles, creative intensity, & jaw-dropping, "there's a saxophonist in my living room" sound.
