These Muzak/Japan reissues in 2 cd sets sound wonderful--I have this one and the Monk, Gordon, Griffin, Sims/Brookmeyer and Konitz. I'm debating whether to get the Jackie and Roy.

Popular Favorites Played With A Touch Of Class

seriously, it's a nice enough record until Peterson "improvises", which is almost always a bunch of mood-busting notejaculations. Riddle do what Riddle do, though, in a good solid B+ version (ok, A-, maybe), and when Peterson just plays the melody, more or less, it's a fine "mood" record. But that motherfucker is hellbent on busting the mood first chance he gets, unfortunately.

Great pianist, excellent musician, but just a damn poor concept of what he need to do to matter. The less he plays, the better he sounds. Did nobody ever tell him that?

But i like Nelson Riddle,  I really do.

Hubert Laws on meaty tenor, Harold Ousley, Wilbert Longmire, Ceasar Frazier, Porter/RVG, just all kinds of stealth.

 

Hmm.  That does look interesting.  Thanks for the heads-up, Jim.  :tup 

I dig Mason's organ work.  He's fantastic on Rusty Bryant's LPs Fire-Eater and Wildfire.
