Chopin - Preludes Op.28

My favorite on this weeks list is - James Moody - Never Again - Muse Though Moody made many very good recordings, this is one that would be up high on the list of those I like best.

Both sessions are on one Japanese CD. Two completely different sets of musicians. The Pettiford is an Octet with Clark Terry, Joe Wilder, Jimmy Cleveland, Jimmy Hamilton, Dave Schildkraut, Danny Bank, Earl Knight and Osie Johnson. The Rd Mitchell is a Sextet with Zoot Sims, Bob brookmeyer, Conte Candoli, Claude Williamson & Stan Levey.

Yes definitely. It is a book that any serious fan of Bird ought to have. It is a large size book 128 pages long. The text by Gary Giddens is well written and gives a good picture of Bird from when he was a child through his death. The book is filled with countless photos, mainly of Bird, but also of many othermusicians.

This is a book I have.
