Relaxing day, quiet in the house and I was really in the mood for some "old school" tenor saxophone a la tubes. Swapped the 275 into the system, let the 501s take a break today, turned off the MS300 and fired up the MCD1000 to keep the system "pure and traditional". Poured myself some Remy Extra and got some Ben Webster, Don Byas, Buddy Tate and Lester Young CDs of the shelf.
MCD kept the CDs spinning, MDA was decoding, 275 Tubes were glowing and the Guarneri Mementos were pouring out the pure honey that the tenor saxophone can be in the hands of such fine musicians of the days long gone.
As I immersed myself into the music, all thoughts vanished and all that was left is the musical window that took me back into the past and my soul was warmed up by the sweet, emotional sounds of the sax and the flavor of Remy.
Oh man, sometimes these listening sessions can be pure magic.
I guess the only thing that would have made it even more special is if I had been playing LPs instead of CDs.
