When I was little kid, during hot summer days, I remember my folks had to get up early in the morning to be able to do some work at the field before it gets too hot. A life of a peasant. The same everywhere in the world. I was half asleep when they would put me in the basket that was attached to one side of the saddle of the little donkey, making the balance to the other side, where the basket with the food for lunch was jauntily hanging. At the field, still in the basket, I would wait for the sun to come out. That was the first movie theater I knew about. Mother played the big role by calling the sun to rise. The just risen sun would shone softly on the fields giving bright color to the trees. I was amazed with the picture of the light filling with brightness every shadow on it’s way. My legs, hands, would gradually become golden.
Softly As in a Morning Sunrise

Wonderful Ava and beautiful song. Thank you O-10. Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief |

Ahaha...fro, that's good but that's not our alex. Do you by any chance have a DJ standing still, but with veeery serious face, possibly with glasses on and wearing perfectly ironed white shirt? |
You're listenin' Balkan jazz radio...
I am sure our DJ Ax a.k.a. Alex will be with you as soon as he wakes up.
|
Thank you and good morning pjw from Balkan direct! :--)
|
(All in good fun. Sorry, Alex....she made me do it) What? I do not know what are you talking about, I haven't done anything. :---)) |
|
O-10, a guy with a comment under the song you posted, said all: I am sorry Marvin...It's still going on.
|
Yes, chicks like him, he has mysterious smile when he is not smiling, like Mona Lisa.
Back to radio:
I deeply apologize to our listeners, it is almost past 15 h in the afternoon and our DJ Ax hasn’t arrived yet.

I must get more Zoot Sims. "Memories..." are great@ |
|
It is almost nine o’clock in the evening. My old friend often tells me stories about the time when he was young soldier in now ex - YU army. (When a guy starts to talk about the time serving, that can last.) Anyway, one of his fond memories was the sound of trumpet they had on all occasions. One of these was trumpet announcing the bed time. They called it ’Povecerje’ (term close to Evening time). After Povecerje was played, you could not hear a single soul anywhere. The army discipline. :--) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LWw9-4-VV0EIt’s still early to go to sleep but after the prelude, my earphones are eager to hear the music from my jazz friends. Good night boys. |
Wow, the selected albums of Illinois Jacquet. That's pure perfection, man. Pure. Thank you.
|
Good to see you back schubert.

Hi pjw,
I have actually posted it only because of the first pic, The Wedding Gig. But I’ve just scrolled it to see more, saw "Davis", that was cool. :--) |
|
Lol. Cartoons are the best thing ever!
p.s.
Laughter is essential. A day without laughter is lost.

If you have nothing to laugh for, you are lost in every way you put it.

Brilliant record.
Indeed fro. |
The Skatalites - Rock Fort Rock!!
I do not remember hearing this before or I just have bad memory, hm. But whatever, this insignificant earthling likes it.
It calls for dance, my foot is already tapping, have a will on it's own. I hope it's nothing serious.
Thx for good music.
|
|
Skatalites are my kind of "madness". I have just spent all my waiting time at hairdresser reading about them. My hairdresser likes them too, I think I have just opened whole new world for her. |
|
Maybe it was like that because Chet was also "great bunch of guys" so when they were together, it got overcrowded.
:--) |
O-10
I wouldn’t mind either.
I will dropp a coin in my piggy bank today. One step forward to Ipanema.
|
All good selections.
pjw, just by listening the music you posted, I can feel the atmosphere that is absolutely alluring: Colorful summer sunset, the scent of the beach, cocktail that keeps you more warm than usual and music that calls. I’ve just checked, flight from Zagreb to Rio De Janeiro, both ways, a week in a 4-star hotel and pocket money, all together would cost like camera that makes lovely bokeh, with extremely high ISO that allows you to shoot in almost dark surrounding, so I will naturally pass on Ipanema as well. :--)
O-10 and me are I guess, practical. I wonder if that comes with maturity too. |
O-10 My uncle had so many LP's back then, which he kept in my father's house and one of the stars of his massive collection was Julio Iglesias. Iglesias is recognized as the most commercially successful continental European singer in the world and one of the top record sellers in music history, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide in 14 languages. ~source Wiki Iglesias and Guantanamera: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ge7zwMkD5Bshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GuantanameraI was quite familiar with the music from late 70s and late 80s and obviously knew nothing at that time about the music in which Alex introduce me to, many years later. I was raised as disco child. It is probably a curse that I have to discover now in my age the music I had to be familiar with, years ago. But in a (twisted) way it could be also seen as privilege. I can be happy as a child when I hear something new which is actually very, very old to you. |
Where did alex’s post came from? When I started writing mine, 0-10’s was the last one.
Anyway, it’s one past midnight here so it is time for good night sleep. If I would be dreaming of Stan, Chet or Julio...
p.s.
Rok is missing for quite a while. I hope he is all right. |
I like BB and Luciano but can't picture them together so these two beat Mariachi from Croatia. ;---)
|
I guess I’ll just have to listen more and try to hear better my inner voice speaking....just hope that I will not hear ’bunch of guys’ whispering...
If that happens you tell them, one by one guys, I can't hear you if you talk all at the same time... |
Mary_jo, express yourself, why shouldn’t you enjoy looking at handsome men, I never tire of looking at beautiful women; just a little while ago, I wanted to pursue all women named "Ursula". (must have been that look of love thing)
O-10. Being a woman, it is expected from me to be enthusiastic about men but not about women. But I have no issues in showing the admiration towards good looking woman. If you appreciate beauty, you will like it in all shapes. Men are not less interesting, only different. Usually it takes time with them to see what you sense at woman immediatelly due to man’s "stronger" look, "tough guy" appearance and similar. In another words, I have to get to know a man, to admire one. |
O-10, but what is there to understand? Often, things are much simpler than we think they are.
|
fro, you are birthday party man. Thanks for the music. |
Where is Rok? I hope he’s doing ok. I think he may have locked himself in his library so as to not be disturbed while he reads Giddins’ “Celebrating Bird” for the tenth time. So much to learn; so little time! Get ready, y’all, detailed analysis and explanation of “Indiana changes” forthcoming 😊. I hate to disappoint you but I think that the reason is less sophisticated. He is probably getting ready for new lockdown. Bought few new chickens, two ducks, dog that barks and a donkey. They all need a place to stay so he has hands full of rearranging the home for them. New time, new needs. |
pjw, in case you did not know, that is one of alex's favourite Van Halen's.
|
But it is not yet New Year. :---)))
|
The way they sing together...I like it...
|
|
|
After the loudest night, the quietest morning arrives. A chance to hear yourself most clearly. Listen. You know what to do next. ❤
Happy New Year, dear people. ♥
|
:--)) Great photo. I did not know he was doing such thing nor I obviously did not think on moisturizing. I thought the man was deeply in thinking.
I must get one lolli to look smart...

Since the last time you all went too far with music. Have to check. A day will be too short... |
Thanks fro. I think I am always somewhere around. If I go away, I never go too far, like a dog.
Vav, vav

|
pjw, there is too much work to do and I am f**** workaholic, sometimes do not know how to stop.
I too wonder where rok is, I do not have any other contact with him besides through postings here, like you, so have no idea what is going on. I think 0-10 should know more...?
|
|
If the times like these continue to be, I am afraid that we will ALL learn to play BLUEs... |
