Dustin. Posting my record collection and vibes from New York's Capital Region.

Willie and the Poor Boys.

Creedence Clearwater Revival.

The fourth album from CCR and a recent addition to the collection with this well-loved original copy.

I figured playing “Fortunate Son” was appropriate to crank/rock out to prior to Election Day here in the States.

Coltrane Jazz.

I don’t often play Coltrane, but sometimes it’s just needed on a Saturday morning.

10/31/2024

The Phosphorescent Blues.

The Punch Brothers.

No tricks, just treats today - especially with this 2015 album by the Punch Brothers.

I’ve had “Magnet” in my head for the past 24 hours so I figured this would be a good way to actually listen to it.

Jazz at the College of the Pacific.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Recorded and released in 1953 - this live album of the early Brubeck Quartet has been on my want radar for a while now - but thanks to a stellar seller on eBay, I finally have a pristine Original Jazz Classics reissue in the collection.

What’s a sunny, warm Wednesday without Brubeck? Pretty boring if you ask me.

When Harry Met Sally.

Harry Connick Jr.

A beautiful Sunday calls for some beautiful music.

It’s a tradition to play the ever loving hell out of this record during fall.

A classic soundtrack for a classic film.

10/26/2024

Body and Soul.

Billie Holiday.

I don’t normally post twice in one day, but it’s a gorgeous fall day and that deserves some impeccable jazz.

This 1957 album is sheer perfection - from Billie’s vocal performance and the musicians backing her on these sessions to production by Verve leader Norman Granz - this is a beautifully crafted album (much like her other Verve efforts).

Hats off to the reissue production team for bringing this album back to record stores in such a fine manner.

Brahms Symphony No. 3 | Variations on a Theme by Haydn.

George Szell & The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.

Sometimes there’s nothing better than some hot coffee, a cold fall morning and some classical music. These are absolutely some gorgeous pieces of music and are performed expertly by these talented players and conducted by a legendary conductor.

Join me for some coffee and classical.

10/25/2024

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.

U2.

Hard to believe this album is 20 years old - this was a CD purchase I made in 2004 after it came out/my senior year of high school - and it still sounds amazing.

10/24/2024

In ‘n Out.

Joe Henderson.

We’re boppin’ in and out of the week - trying to make it to Friday - so let’s enjoy some cool jazz courtesy of the formidable Joe Henderson.

Off camera: a cold Utica Club.

10/22/2024

Have Trumpet Will Excite!

Dizzy Gillespie.

Yesterday was Dizzy’s birth anniversary and I did spin this last night without even realizing it… so naturally, it gets a spin again tonight.

10/21/2024

Go.

Dexter Gordon.

Much needed jazz on a sunny, warm late October Monday.

10/20/2024

No Name.

Jack White.

The sixth studio album from Jack White and the first in my collection - and it definitely won’t be the only one.

This just fu***ng rocks.

And Then Again.

The Bill Charlap Trio.

It’s Thursday and I haven’t spun any tunes in a couple of days.

This is the new, LIVE album from the Charlap Trio - it was recorded at the legendary Village Vanguard and released in August of this year.

This is my first Bill Charlap Trio album, save for the Tony Bennett albums featuring Bill, and I’m amazed at how long I went without owning this incredible music.

Do yourself a favorite, especially if you love jazz, get a copy of this.

Unplugged.

Eric Clapton.

Hot take: this acoustic version of “Layla” is superior to the original version.

I remember when I was learning to play the guitar at the age of seven that Clapton was the crème de la crème of who to emulate.

This album has been on my want list for a while now so it’s nice to finally have a copy in the collection.

10/12/2024

One of the best bands, you probably haven’t heard before. Wild Hands hails from the Dakota of the northern variety.

A wonderful Americana sound with pensive lyrics.

This was their debut album back in 2014 and they just released a new one yesterday, on digital with the vinyl to be released soon.

Seriously, head over to your favorite streaming platform to listen and/or find a vinyl copy.

10/11/2024

No Room For Squares.

Hank Mobley.

It’s Friday afternoon and there ain’t no room for squares going into the weekend.

Gonna crack a cold beer and relax soon. Cheers to the weekend friends! 🍻

10/08/2024

Chet.

Chet Baker.

Now that a cold front has passed through and the temperatures have grown much cooler, it was the perfect opportunity to pull and spin this incredible album.

There really isn’t much that could be said about this album that hasn’t been said before - but just heap my praise on top of all the others.

10/07/2024

Egypt Station.

Paul McCartney.

I remember the excitement I had when this album was announced and of course the excitement of listening to Macca’s newest (his 17th solo) album when it came out in September 2018.

This is pure McCartney - with radio-made songs like “Come On To Me” and “Fuh You”

Poppin’

Hank Mobley.

Things are boppin’ and poppin’ here with some coffee and this great album from Hank Mobley.

Probably one of my favorite Tone Poet reissues - from the cover art right down the recorded music - just sounds perfect on a cooler (finally) fall morning.

Go get yer weekend on!

10/03/2024

Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio.

It’s my Friday and I’m really looking forward to maybe sleeping in tomorrow.

I had been searching for this one for a while and finally found a copy! Such a beautiful album and it fits perfectly for fall.

Stan Getz and OP and the trio is a match made in musical heaven.

My Funny Valentine.

Miles Davis.

Probably my favorite live Miles album - perfect for an autumn Monday evening.

Recorded in February 1964 and released a year later - this album captures the beauty of these wonderful songs and how Miles and his fellow musicians could make them sound poignant and wistful.

09/26/2024

Ella & Louis.

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong.

I couldn’t think of a more perfect record to play at the end of a rainy, autumn work day.

Ella and Louis are backed on this session by the Oscar Peterson Quartet and recorded at the now-legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles during the summer of 1956.

I pulled this more recent reissue, versus my original Verve pressing to spin tonight.

A fine album anytime of the year, but autumn makes it perfect.

One Of A Kind.

The Heavy Heavy.

Oh man - I am so excited about this album arriving today that it’s getting a spin upon arrival.

As a fan of 60s rock music - this album is serving up some sweet sounds. I’ve been listening to this on streaming since it was released and it’s been a great journey so far. Layered sound with beautiful vocals and killer instrumental licks. These are some talented musicians.

This is sunshine in music form.

Do yourself a favor and grab this album - it won’t let you down.

Diz and Getz.

Dizzy Gillespie & Stan Getz.

The hot and cool fall vibes are in full swing today.

Recorded in 1953 in Los Angeles and released in 1955 - this album is pure jazz perfection. Tasty bites of incredible trumpet and saxophone solos and the steady sound of Oscar Peterson’s trio holding down the rhythm.

This Verve outing has some of my favorite jazz musicians and was on my want list for a while now - so glad to have it.

09/22/2024

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga.

Spoon.

The sixth Spoon LP from 2007 - and one of my top three Spoon albums.

This copy belonged to my late friend Levi - who had introduced me to the band back in 2013. After he passed, his family gifted me this record in his memory. I proudly keep it safe and spin it in his honor.
