Isn't "I was young and stupid" the opening line of the lyric on "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love." No, wait, it's "I was young and carefree."

No, he's cleaned up. So who did the sanitized version? Phil "cap'n" Woods?

Many thanks for that history lessen Mike - most interesting!

Yeah, I've heard that before (got Gould's last six - very good ... they'd be on a hammerklavier if performed by HIP-sters, I assume?). Will have to give this some thought, but I'll get her well-tempered cembalo, I think. (can a cembalo actually be well-tempered?)

quick off-topic question: what would she actually play on that Haydn box? 't says "period instruments", but ignunt me doesn't know what that means with respect to Haydn, sorry.

Will do!

Great news about Carter/Bradford and Tapscott, Jonathan! And please do go for the box with Daley!

r.i.p. - will give this one a spin to commemorate:

Based on this thread I got this one: Gave it three spins so far ... it's somewhat dark in general mood, I found at first, but it's slowly growing on me. Also got Horowitz' "Great Sonatas" 10CD box, which has an overall 32 Scarlatti sonatas - great as well, if you want some piano! But I guess I'll look for more Hantaï now ... and if I stuble over it, the Weissenberg LP.

Two long sets, first over fifty minutes, second something over half an hour ... definitely great to see an official release of this! Pi is my kind of label!

Well Lonski, Couwski and Flurinski call him thusly, too - good 'nuff for me

Anyone needs some aspirin maybe?

Hey Wes! Where you been? Went missing south of the border?

Washed my first USB stick once (back in the days when a 256MB one cost as much as a 6 or 7 disc Mosaic box - remember the days?) - kept working though.

wast lords? good one, for sure!

So including it in a studio albums box is quite correct ... I still wish they'd fill up the discs with more bonus material (subjunctively put since I don't think there's much of a chance). The box won't be needed here, though official versions of "Indigos" and "A Drum" would be nice, and I'm sure "Bal Masque" can be done better than Collectables did it ... if the Schaap goof on "Such Sweet Thunder" would also be fixed ... I guess I might be in then, but still, I've got each of these albums, some even twice (and I think a used music store had the old French edition of "Such Sweet Thunder" there for ages, I might try my luck).

That's because Mr. Wilburn will redo the drum-parts, I've heard.

Gee, I guess I should start reading user comments for Kenny G albums more often! Mrs. D. from K.C. writes: "Hmm... I love Kenny G's music. He has a grove you can fall into like a fur throw on a cold summer night, while sitting in front of a warm fire with the one you love. But, I'm not feeling him, here. I'm trying to see the point of this? I can't connect to it... I feel disconnected on so many levels. He's excluded many of his loyal masses here, which is odd, because Kenny G's music has always been so universal... I don't like." Rachel (surely not ours - long time no see, btw!) says: "I don't agree with the person below; they certainly aren't a jazz fan or have no interest in Kenny G's music pieces to begin with. I think this CD is awesome! It's a must buy." Furthermore, Kenny G. reveals some douchebag husbands and drugs children, as MissAngi's testimony proves: "My husband and I are on two ends of the spectrum when it comes to Kenny G. I personally think he's fantastic! I can't get enough of his relaxing smooth music! But my husband...he's not a fan to say the least. But this album is the happy middle!! Many of the songs my husband loves so he can enjoy right along with me! I put this album on my iPod and played it in the car yesterday.... all 4 of my children were completely silent and relaxed the entire 45 minute trip!! Is it a miracle in MP3 form!? I think so!!! Any mother knows quiet kids in the car is nothing short of amazing!! Thank you Kenny for bring my family together! hahahaha All kidding aside this is a fantastic album! Each song is better than the next. Very soothing and romantic. Great to play during dinner, while enjoying a bubble bath, or even a romantic evening. I rated it a strong 5 stars!"

Fantastic! Thanks everyone for the stories and remembrances. Played "Good Forever" again (and again) last night - love it!

bit cheaper on amazon.it

Coming up, seems to be official: Would that be the same material as in the Mosaic box? Not that I really care, I've got my Frémeaux Django, so there's that, but still I'm somewhat curious as I just stumbled over this on amazon.fr

Chris Sheridan (liners to "Young and Foolish") also has 1922 as year of birth. Not that I knew, not that it really matters ...
