A frustrating day of
work was alleviated by some very enjoyable sounds. Kicking off the
day was the new disc featuring unreleased recordings by Lennie Tristano - The Duo Sessions. It features Tristano is duo with Lenny
Popkin, Connie Crothers, and Roger Mancuso. I’m a huge fan of all
involved so this is going to get a lot more listening time. Due to
the pandemic Dot Time Records were unable to post the physical disc
but gladly sent me a digital copy.
Then I continued
with my tour of the Root 70 discography with
Getting Rooted. I hadn’t listened to this one for a while and was a
little surprised how well I remembered it. Then I recalled just how
much I used to listen to this album and I was somewhat less
surprised. In turn, I started recalling the time I first heard this album - New York City, 2004 (ahh nostalgia). And realized that these two albums are linked, as NYC 2004 also happened to be when I met Connie. Time Flies. Kind of. In some respects in seems like yesterday, and then suddenly it feels like another lifetime.
