Well, I guess we can do this series of CDs all in one fell swoop . . . And Volume 1

I wanted to like this series more. The characters really aren't all that compelling and it just felt hard to give a hoot about some of them. Some of the storylines rely too much on fortuitous coincidence. It is a very "talky" program, but much of the dialogue sounds/feels authentic. I don't know that I'm in any hurry to see Season 2, though.

I have that compilation CD mentioned in the first post as well as this 2fer; I haven't listened to it in many years, but I recall it being respectable pop-jazz, rather than a swinging session. I also have this, I guess his last album (?) from 1986 which was pretty nondescript, IMO.

Love (Sigh . . . I wish finding love was really that easy!)

I have no particularly strong feelings about Orrin Keepnews. I don't like speaking ill of the recently departed. If others enjoy pissing on his yet to be dug grave, that's their business. Life's a tough business. None of us make it out of here as perfect and unblemished as the day we were born. We struggle along and do the best we can. We'll please some folks and piss off other folks. But when we die, we should at least allow the former group to recall us fondly and the latter group to leave it be.
