This CD was bought purely on trust in the two performers as I was completely unfamiliar with Alain Guyonnet, whose music is performed here. After a quick internet search, all I know is that he is a Swiss pianist born in 1949. From this 1992 CD I know he writes some nice tunes. -- or rewrites some tunes: "O Gato" had a suspicious tinge of "Armando's Rhumba" about it and "Scent of a Dream" seemed very "Deep Purple"-ish. "Nota della Notte" was quite lovely. Lee Konitz plays soprano and alto. This is a recording I think will grow on me with repeated listenings. Definitely recommended for Lee Konitz fans. He sounds great here.

Damn. Pretty girls on tilt-a-whirls, you have been warned. Thanks, John. We're gonna miss the hell outta ya.

I just recently bought this disc from a dealer on Amazon. Got it in the mail last week, but haven't listened to it yet. I'm looking forward to it.

I found a site online which tells you how to make your own hydroxychloroquine. I figured it's worth a shot, but so far all I have is the first ingredient:

And don't forget (although you will probably wish to) Tony Bennett's "acting" in The Oscar --

To me she will always be Cathy Gale, one of the real Avengers (not those comic book/silly movies freaks). Rest In Peace Ms. Blackman. Perhaps enjoy some tea with Mr. Steed.

Saxophonist Med Flory had quite a career as an actor in movies and (primarily) TV. He was in The Nutty Professor, the Elvis flick, The Trouble With Girls, the Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby flick, Let's Do It Again and who could ever forget his stirring performance as "White Shirt In Bar" in the Don Knotts classic, The Reluctant Astronaut.

The documentary film Still Bill is a terrific study of Mr Withers' life and music. This scene still gets to me I'd pay to listen to that man sing the phone book. He will be missed, at least by me, very, very much. Rest in Peace, Mr. Withers. Your life and music has definitely helped in some small way to make this world a more bearable place.

Disc 1 & 2 of 2.

Sad news. I've enjoyed this CD and this track in particular: Rest in Peace, Mr. Marsalis and may comfort and courage be with your family at this time.

This sums it up nicely: "The length and breadth of the work with all the different people was a testament to how hard he worked at it," John Pizzarelli said. "Everybody from Benny Goodman and Les Paul to Carly Simon, Janis Ian and Paul McCartney. All kinds of people requested his services because he was the best at what he did." Rest In Peace, Mr. Pizzarelli and thank you for your enduring legacy of music.

Discs 1 & 2 of 2. This collection is "Vol. 2" and most of her career defining big hits are included in the first volume. This second helping of 50 classic 1960's & 70's tracks is not mere leftovers. There is plenty of variety: showtunes, songs sung in French, songs written/co-written by Ms. Clark, ballads, covers of rock hits and even a few Tony Hatch tunes. Some of it feels a bit like filler and not all of it works flawlessly. Her version of "Lover Man" is uninspired. But then there is this unexpectedly enchanting transformation revealing a lovely song I never knew existed beneath all the drum banging and incessant caterwauling that went on in the original hit version -- Maybe that is just "elevator music" to some, but for me, Pet's voice + that orchestration = pure pop heaven.

It was 1974, so yes, there is electric piano here. There is also a cover of "Land of Make Believe" and The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" plus Joe Wilder, Marvin Stamm, Stanley Clarke and horn & string arrangements by Charles Stepney. Not a great album, to be sure.

Son of Tyree.

I would sign up for set # 0001 of The Complete Cadet Recordings of Ray Bryant, if and when it becomes available!
