First, hoping our brother PT is having a good trip and everything is A ok!

Speaking of Frisell and Ron Miles. Need some, getting to be time for some new Jazz (new to me that is). So, expert panel, how bout listing your top recommendations for each artist, separately or together.
Don’t necessarily have to give explanations, just a list of…
Please keep in mind if it’s still available etc
Thanks!

Hell, while we’re at it, how bout some other piano jazz?
Have a nice bit of Bill Evans, which we really like.
Like Bop, but more so BITD, now grandpa digs the weird mellow stuff.
Burton/Corea Duet has been getting lots of play lately, for example…

I would not know a Phish song from a fish fry, but I do check out their setlists because they occasionally throw in a VU/Lou Reed song. I also love Andy Griffith and saw they did a song by The Darlings (Dillards) in Grand Rapids. This doesn't seem to be a song The Darlings performed on the AG Show. Unless they did it while off set enjoying some of Helen Crump's fine homegrown.

I would add to the previously mentioned noteworthy releases by Frisell - Nashville and Gone, Just Like A Train - two of my personal favourites, The Willies, and Guitar In The Space Age. The latter includes his take on the Kinks’ “Tired Of Waiting For You” that is otherworldly, IMO. Also, he is like Jim Keltner, a guy that has played on so many sessions by other artists, he pops up in your collection in the strangest of places. His various work on numerous Ron Miles albums are fantastic, but the list is long, you’ll find one you like.
I wonder what a guy like Frisell would have sounded like with Jerry. If Garcia could play so masterfully with a real “out there” jazz icon like Ornette Coleman (“Virgin Beauty” features Jerry prominently on three tracks and is a must-own), he would have fit like a glove with Frisell.

Interview in Rolling Stone October 7, 2019, Frisell talks about his discovery of then current music, late 60s, Hendrix and Cream, not knowing he would later play with Ginger Baker and Charlie Haden later on, what that was like. If I could get down to the city, hit the Village Vanguard. The range and depth of his opus, who else does that. Instead maybe DSO at Deerfield. Lucky to catch Dizzy in the early 70s at his mainstay Blues Alley in DC.

Daverock.. I have an old (Japan) cd (1986) of Dizzys C.P. memorial concert from 1965 - really great - all-star-line-up.. Worth looking for.. Also great; Gillespiana from around the same time on Verve..

Wowza! One thing to me is clear from listening to the sample sound check. These {FL trips} are indeed a bunch of Mick & Bill shows! Gotta love it! Very heavy on the percussion with the drum "rolls" baked in liberally throughout the songs. Couple that with some of the "popcorn" high hat stuff ala Dap45 and you've got a pretty heavy carbs set. {All I.B.S. joking aside} Very common in that late 1977 into 1978 era. I look forward to getting the preorder as fast as I can gather up the (k)needed dough!

I think that the June 76 Box files are 24/196, which you can’t burn to CD.

Get a DAC Magic if you are going to connect your computer to your stereo.

Or get a portable music player that takes microSDXC cards, put the music files on the card, then connect the music player to the stereo.
MicroSDXC cards are pretty cheap now.

I have Hidizs and iBasso music players, and a 1TB card that holds my entire collection of commercially released music in ALAC format, and is only half full.
I connect the iBasso to a DAC Magic 200 which connects to a AXR100 receiver.
Sounds great and my entire collection is right there.

One more to mention for Bill Frisell. Check out The Gnostic Preludes. Some of the most relaxing hypnotic stuff you'll ever hear. One of my desert island picks.

On the fence about this box set. I'll probably end up grabbing one though. That summer 78 box is very good.

Glad to see people talking about Frisell, the album w/ Ron Miles is terrific. Local Sea boy, still plays some small venues around town. Nashville, and Gone, Just Like a Train are two of his best albums if you want to explore a new jazz guitarist. For something more strange, he did this album Lagrimas Mexicanas, and that she-ite kicks ash. If you can swing it, his shows never disappoint....

Yes, thanks, but I think it was Cnkd that pointed that out to me recently. I'm a bit of a luddite, unfortunately. I have bought very few downloads - I got most of The Dead single show downloads that came out pre Daves Picks, but I burned them to cds and have only ever listened to them like that. I really should find a way to link my laptop to my speakers and "smart" telly. But I have been saying that for years.
I do like the physical objects, with the books etc. The recent vinyl editions of shows, even though they are of shows I already have - for the most part, have been my favourite Dead purchases in recent years. The Dead at The Lyceum in 1972 being the jewel in the crown.
