I've rediscovered my record(vynil) collection again for the millionth time. I hadn't listened to any vynil for a while, not for any particular reason. Earlier today I heard Well You Needn't blaring from a car parked outside and was reminded of a spectacular recording of that tune by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet that I have(on vynil). I put it on and realized what treasures I had been neglecting.

Time for Tyner(McCoy Tyner),
V.S.O.P Quintet,
The Other Village Vanguard Tapes (Coltrane),
Another Earth(Gary Bartz),
Dialogue (Bobby Hutcherson, Freddie Hubbard et al.),
True Blue(Blue Mitchel, Dexter Gordon,Sam Noto ...)
Thelonius Monk Orchestra at Town Hall,
Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus,
........

I've been thirsting for some playing. I really should get to some of the Rex jams, but I'm reluctant, given the current state of disrepair my chops are in. I really should get doing some serious practicing.
