The ipod Classic with 80 gigs of memory
Milestones need to be publicized and celebrated.
So, why is this such a monumental event for me??
Two years ago, two cyber events happened just about simultaneously,
My 5 year old PC crashed as did my ipod. No problem for the PC. I simply purchased a new one at Staples. However, it's not a simple matter when a carefully selected collection of 3717 songs-suddenly disappears.
The collection was 5 years in the making... and I had good reason to be upset.

So, I invested a few dollars in an ipod recovery program and several hours later had my original 3717 back on board. One small problem arose: several albums came up as file/digital numbers rather than as the usual analog/ letter signatures. Oh, well I could always go to my itunes library on the pc and id the elusive Pablo Rosenberg...an outstanding balladeer who serenades us in both his native Spanish and Hebrew.

So, now I being serenaded (on a you tube playlist) by Pablo and Shlomi Shabat in their memorable La Ultima Noche and I highly recommend you discover this fabulous entertainer as I did over 10 years ago.
Miles Davis (followed by John Coltrane) is by far my favorite entertainer, judging by the number of singles of his on my Classic--close to 200 and still counting--representing about 5% of my digital library storage.
Buried in the 3717 is one group, a gem of a trio, I had nearly forgotten. Its the Great Jazz Trio led by the awesome Hank Jones on piano accompanied by Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams (1945-1997) on drums. Tony was a very young member of the Miles Davis band in the early 1960's.
The album I am listening to is At the Village Vanguard Again. Though recorded in the late 70's, it was not released until the digital age. Each of the five plays is a gem-- a model of loose, freewheeling, lilting uplifting, ever expanding rhythms.
Each player is an outright star in his own right, yet when they combine, it is as if the rhythm of threesome is magnified three fold. The five I uploaded include: Hi-Fly, Sophisticated Lady, Softly As in a A Morning Sunrise, Wave and My Funny Valentine.
