I listened to a bunch of Ravel pianists on YouTube, and I own recordings by Louis Lortie, and Thibaudet, but this Bavouzet set is just about the finest overall performance I've heard for piano sound, phrasing, and feel.

Keep your eye out at your local cinema - there's a Met broadcast of 'L'Amour De Loin' on Dec 10th (think that's worldwide). If they are showing it in the backwater where I live I'm sure it won't be far away from most places. 

I haven't heard of any of those in my town, but I know they have showings 90 miles west in Rochester, NY. Anyway, i've been listening to many Saariaho pieces on YouTube, and so far i like Circle Map, 6 Japanese Gardens, and Laterna Magica. And her viola work, Vent Nocturne.

Was

(Mose Allison)

When I become was and we become were
Will there be any sign or a trace of th' lovely contour of your face
And will there be someone around
With essentially my kinda sound

When am turns to was and now is back when
Will someone have moments like this
Moments of unspoken bliss
And will there be heroes and saints
Or just a dark new age of complaints

When I become was and we become were
Will there be any Susans and Ralphs
Lookin' at old photographs
And wondering aloud to a friend

Some of his most poignant lyrics, and he wrote a lot of great ones! RIP

Sad news after a long illness. Veteran drummer Alphonse Mouzon is very ill and fighting for his life. He's accepting donations to help pay for medical treatment. Also sad to see the great Hungarian pianist Zoltan Kocsis on the obit list.

[What was the first jazz you heard that really fascinated you?]

The tune Brilliant Corners by Monk. I thought it was the oddest music I'd ever heard, but I really dug it.

I bought more of these sets than I need, but if had to part with some of them, I'd keep my Steve Lacy sets, Abrams, and Hennry Threadgill. And George Russell for a few of the albums.
