If I was forced to choose, I'd have to takes his 50's work over his 60's, BUT---- ya gotta love Alfie, The Bridge, and Sonny Meets Hawk! I mean...OUCH, ya know?

Perhaps her mistake was posting a picture.

It's about damn time!

Capitol Jazz, discs 5 & 6.

Nine pre-set keys? Really? That write-up makes me wish I could go. Cool.

What did she get so upset about?

Is that Atkinson?

Couldn't find it as a two-fer, so I just bought Things Are Swingin' by itself. It's brief, but worth it.

Wow, I didn't know he was sending jokes to Letterman. The end of an era, indeed. RIP, Johnny.

"I, for one, welcome our new superjumbo overlords."

That sounds like a must-have. What's on the cover? (The picture of the guy lunching on her neck makes me kinda sick....)

I'm still waiting for the days of private aircars to arrive.

The main reason I got it now was I had some Christmas credit at Borders. I was surprised to see an album I actually wanted there.

I'm going to play some of that tonight. Thanks.

I think you just get another box at #200.

That's what I'd like to know.

I recently picked up this album, and I'm impressed. It's just a nice solid album, even though it's really a combination on a 10" and some extra tracks to make a 12" album---the two sessions mesh very well. All the tracks are small-group jazz, including Jimmy Rowles and Pete Candoli; Lee is in excellent voice. This stands up to comparison with the great Sinatra albums of the period (53/57). Anyone else have this one? (This re-issue is a digipak, but don't hold that against the music.)

I guess that makes it just a "phone."

Same here.

What constitutes "real" jazz? The "jazzy" kind.

Hey, you're a "veteran groover"----that sounds great to me.

Started reading The Whole Equation by David Thomson. Got it as a Christmas gift, so it would be nice if I could finish it by February....

If I were the judge, this one would have been the winner.

One Criterion everyone should have: THE THIRD MAN
