It must be something you said.
Those records were produced by my friend Bob Porter. I remember him at a NAIRD convention, walking around with a Walk Man offering new Lester Young solos to anyone willing to put the headphones on.
Shortly after getting
I burned 4 cdrs of the master takes 1927-34 - 89 wonderful miniatures. The first 23 down tonight, Black and Tan Fantasy through to Harlemania.
Bob told me about this. I believe it had some relationship with Selmer musical instruments. I know there were some Erroll Garner sides on Selmer in the '40s.
My favorite Sinfoniettas are Ancerl and Horenstein. The Horenstein version is slow and gloomy - I asked him about that (in 1969) and he said something like "This is patriotic music and must be interpreted according to the times".
Because of the 2 tracks mentioned by Medjuck above.
While I do have the Mosaic set, I frequently grab "The Best of" to hear a track or two. It is just easier.
I wasn't able to attend the opening but just before the paintings were carted off to Chicago Roscoe gave Ann and me a "Facetime" tour of his house to see the works. Pretty astounding. A copy of the catalog arrived in today's mail.
Hope to get to Chicago while it's still on.
