"Birth of the Cool, Birth of the School" on Night Lights from WFIU http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/birth-cool-birth-school/

The Talented Mr Ripley Smart Alec Clever Clogs

Bought as downloads the three tracks I was lacking from this album - and, yes, they're right up to the standard of the others. Great to have more of this lovely music!

I forgot about the excellent O'Higgins/Alexander disc, but could/should have included it, too. I keep meaning to buy their first album, Sketch Book. Motivation for so doing has been weakened by the fact that I have most of its tracks on a compilation disc put together and given me by British tenorman Simon Spillett. Solved that problem by buying the three remaining tracks as downloads - and, of course, they're right up to the standard of the others. Great to have more of this lovely music!
