Discovered this jazz gem yesterday on Instagram just as the Eclipse officially began. Its a winner!
I only recently discovered Carla Bley and her music thanks to a story about her in a music magazine. Sadly she passed away in 2023 and left a lot of recorded music to remember her by. I’ll write more about her at another time but check out her music. Wonderful composer and musician. #jazz #orchestra #music

This past Saturday we decided to go on a road trip to a new, to us, Half Price Books & Music in the Chicago suburbs. After searching the vinyl and CD bins I was thinking I was about to go scoreless until I found this gem in the “M” section. An unused, still sealed We Live Here on CD in mint condition for only $6.99. It sounds every bit as good as I remembered it. This album from Pat Metheny Group is still available in record and CD stores and, also on streaming sites. Check it out, I doubt you’ll be disappointed. Enjoy!

Before Stevie and Lindsey joined Team Mac the band, fronted by blues guitar wizard Peter Green, was an accomplished blues band. Now there is a hardcover book chronicling these historic sessions with Chicago blues masters joining the band at Chess to record some classic music together. Written by Robert Schaffner, photos by original photographer Jeff Lowenthal.
This synopsis from the B&N website: A book showcasing the legendary Fleetwood Mac blues session at Chicago’s Chess Studios in January 1969 This book focuses on a crucial moment in the history of one of the most popular bands in music history and its beginnings as a blues band in the late 1960s. It includes many never-before-seen color and black-and-white photos from this legendary session.
- This is the only book to cover this famous and influential 1969 rock/blues album
- Includes photos of Fleetwood Mac guitarists Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, and Jeremy Spencer jamming with Chicago blues-scene legends Willie Dixon, Otis Spann, and Buddy Guy
- Includes Forewords by both producers present at the session: Mike Vernon MBE, and Marshall Chess
High quality images show founding Fleetwood Mac members Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie with the major Chicago blues musicians - Willie Dixon, Otis Spann, and Buddy Guy – of the time. Also featured throughout the book are recollections by many of Fleetwood Mac’s contemporaries, such as Kim Simmonds, Aynsley Dunbar, and Martin Barre, as well as a new interview with Buddy Guy.
The book is available on Amazon and now it is also available on the Barnes and Noble website and in their stores. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/fleetwood-mac-in-chicago-jeff-lowenthal/1141022998?ean=9780764364952
