The semi-audiophile in me is weeping in the corner...the garage rocker in me is turning up the volume.

Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti (1975)
For some reason "Ten Years Gone" popped into my head this afternoon. The tempo changes in that song are crazy, and Jimi's guitar work is amazing.
Did you ever really need somebody
And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody
The best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby
Did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time
And you knew you would

Jerry Garcia, Rob Wasserman & Bob Weir - Fall 1989: The Long Island Sound (rel. 2013)
In its later years, The Grateful Dead became a financial juggernaut, its endless tours earning close to $300 million between 1990 and 1995.
This afforded Jerry Garcia the luxury of indulging his many side projects. Over the years he toured and recorded with an eclectic mix of artists from David Grisman to Merl Saunders. He had many of these live shows professionally recorded, resulting in a flood of posthumous solo releases rivaling those of the mother group itself.
This 6 CD set presents the complete stadium shows from October 5 and 6, 1989 at Hartford CT and Uniondale NY. The Jerry Garcia Band consisted of:
As time passes, my respect for Jerry Garcia as a musician and my delight at these live shows just grows and grows. This is perfect listening for a long summer night with a glass of Ojai Chardonnay and some Saint Angel triple cream cheese. I might even find some suitable ice cream in the freezer....

David Wilcox ~ The View from the Edge (2018)
The only song I've heard prior to now is "Chain of Anger." That was 10 years ago,
He said that he'd put it on an album when he felt he could, since it's about his father and his son.
Until then, he would only sing it at live shows.

Spyro Gyra - Spyro Gyra (1977)
This is their first album. For the longest time, I've heard this is the one that sounds most like traditional Jazz and I've been curious to hear. I finally got my hands on it.
Thematically, this sounds very much like a Spyro Gyra album. There is great musicianship, happy melodies, generally upbeat tempo, and non-swing rhythms. I think the repeated references to this as "more traditional" stem from the fact that this sounds less plugged in. I'm not sure if it is actually less plugged in (there is an electric bass, electric guitar, and some keyboards) but it does sound more unplugged than later SG albums.
Despite being a little disappointed I did not discover something like SG playing Coltrane, I'm glad I got this. While it's not quite as different as that, this is a somewhat different sounding album for SG. And a good album.

Marcy Lutes - Debut (1956)
Jazzwax tells us:
Marcy Lutes' first solo recording as a vocalist was her last. After 10 years toiling in the big bands of Ray McKinley, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and Herbie Fields, Lutes finally was given a shot in late 1956. The album was called Marcy Lutes: Debut, and the LP might have been forgotten if it wasn't for the arrangers Decca brought in for the date—Gil Evans, Ralph Burns and Marion Evans (no relation).
This album grows on me. Marcy's warm, urbane voice more than holds its own with the jazzy big band arrangements on a dozen mostly Broadway tunes, both familiar and obscure.
on the Sam-O-Meter. Marcy gets an extra half star for wearing a top that matches her throw pillows.
