I just got in from a lovely and full day with my buddies, Fel, Bananers and Mister JT. We kicked off fairly early with brunch at Magnolia Cafe. Afterwards we headed off to Hollywood to Amoeba Records. Spending a good hour or so digging through and finding new gems to add to our collections. We then proceeded to head back to the valley to catch a late matinee show of "Smokin' Aces"... which I enjoyed quite a bit. And we finally ate a light dinner at Panera Cafe.
A nice day. Wet. Full. Happy...
I figure its only fitting to share a song from today's Amoeba finds. Earlier, my basket was full of jazz selections - from Joao Gilberto in Tokyo to A Nina Simone Boxset.. so much good stuff I had a hard time choosing but with the help of JT I came home with this... and I am very happy with it.
It's almost 11pm... and the night feels young now -I was a little tired after dinner... but Lester Young and company are putting me in the mood. I love how jazz collaborations translates it's energy so well to its listener. Maybe I'll call my friends again. :)
Have a great Saturday everyone...

It's a lovely and quiet Saturday evening for me. Earlier I was enjoying a nice cup of hot peppermint tea while reading. Now I just opened disc 3 of my Jazz in Paris boxset - Champs-Elysees. I bought this boxset over a year ago at Amoeba (Hollywood). But I've taken it in very slowly. Opening each new disc after I've thoroughly finished enjoying the last. There were three discs in this set. I just opened the last one tonight. It's perfect.
Tea, a book and Paris jazz... my kind of night.
I am completely in love with the Jazz in Paris series.
With that said, I am ready for a new boxset.
(I will continue to upload tracks from this series. There are just too many songs that have floored me.)
