I finally came up for a little air tonight from working constantly these days to check out the sound clips of, and order, David Lahm's "More Jazz Takes on Joni Mitchell." Listened to DJRD, Silky Veils of Ardor, Off Night Backstreet and LOTC. Oh my my - just stunning! It's so awesome to hear these, especially the takes on the DJRD material which is generally obscure to most but so brilliant. The one album that took me 20 years to "decode" and when it did was like a rare and supernatural flower unfolding to me. David, I think you deserve a Grammy nod for this one. I also learned that the long-awaited Buffalo Springfield Box Set can now be advance ordered from CDNow - the release date is July 17th. Also pre-ordered the new CPR "Just Like Gravity" which I expect to be gorgeous - the release date is June 19th. Kakki, back to her old spending vices ;-)
