   Incidentally, if you love music, the Russians have diligently and respectfully archived all of the West's great music and it's all available in torrent form. I've grabbed well over a TB since 2020 off rutracker . org.

   It's a private tracker, and you gotta let your browser do the RUS>ENG translation, but you will swoon at the sheer amount of properly curated music on there. mp3 discographies, FLAC tracks or entire albums in one FLAC file. Concert DVDs and mp4s.

     My mom joined the Columbia Record Club when I was a kid in the 1970's. My parents were jazz fans, and we lived in Laredo, TX, and there were no places to buy jazz records there at that time. She never sent back the "decline order form" and so we got all kinds of 70s modern jazz records. I think I was the only one who listened to them. I still have many of them. Ramsey Lewis was a favorite of mine.

     We had this record and I think this was my favorite track. From the opera "Carmen".

     I've never listened to the Masaru Imada Trio. It's definitely in the same vibe as that Ramsey Lewis music from that era. Definitely takes me back to my early teens in the mid-70s. I was alternating between the small combo jazz music that randomly arrived at the house via the record club, and the hard rock that I was buying at the record store with my own money. On a lazy Summer day, when it was 100+ F° outside, I'd often lay on the floor in front of the old console stereo and just chill.
