May musical giant Ahmad Jamal RIP.

My wife and I will be vacationing in Spain next month. Now it looks like I’ll be revisiting “Alhambra” early.

The music under the opening credits of M*A*S*H was how you knew if you were about to see the original (USA) R-rated version or the later PG re-edit. If it was Jamal's jazzy instrumental version, if was the re-edit. If it was a bland male vocal version, it was the original.

RIP Truly gifted.

Didn't buy Tranquility. Did buy the Q8.

Also, strongly recommend Live at the Alhambra 2 CD Spain. Download is purported to be a needle drop. Spain 2 CD appears not to have pops & clicks. Been meaning to spin it lately.
