based on what we know Lockjaw was capable of, the solo could be described as 'workmanlike'

It was fine as things go but I think Lock pretty much phoned that one in......a bit 'ho hum'

I have the 10CD set (thanks to PeteB) that includes everything from 1936 to 1945 and, listening across the discs I feel that Mosaic made a big mistake leaving out most of the vocal sides. While admittedly many of the songs are quite trite, the singing - Helen Forrest in particular, isn't - they also include some of the best writing and soloing. They also provide a welcome change of pace and really reveal another dimension to Shaw's music. I wouldn't want to be without 'I Didn't Know What Time It Was', 'Deep Purple', 'Day in Day Out' 'Gloomy Sunday' 'Don't Fall Asleep' or 'All in Fun' Now if I could just get hold of the Mosaic booklet.....

I agree with Randy regarding Gorecki and Rautavaara. Gorecki's third string quartet played by Kronos is something I keep coming back to and find utterly mesmerizing. It has an extraordinarily beautiful theme buried part way into it. I also like the music of Osvaldo Golijov very much - Ainadamar has a section for trumpet and orchestra that is, given the similarity of genre more perfectly realized - and more moving than anything on Miles/Gil's Sketches of Spain. The CD 'Oceana' has a setting of Emily Dickenson's 'How Slow the Wind' sung by Dawn Upshaw that is stunning - and I love Golijov's melding of his various influences - East European Jewish, Argentinian etc. I also find John Corigliano's music to contain much depth of emotion coupled with superb craft and melodic invention. The Second Symphony, based on his string quartet is a great experience with marvelous subtlety and Corigliano displays a gift for extracting amazing sounds from the players. Finally I also from time to time listen to the symphonies of Allan Pettersen - I don't think there are many of us who do, though. And not too often!
