Classical-wise, I'm still enjoying an exploration of music by FRENCH composers, conductors, and orchestras. Tonight's listening:

Yesterday: Chico Hamilton - The Head Hunters (Solid State, 1969) with Steve Potts (as); Russ Andrews (ts); Ray Nance (vn); Eric Gale (g); Jan Arnet (b) No, not those Head Hunters! Stumbled across this LP recently in a local shop. I had no idea that Steve Potts was with Chico before he began his long association with Steve Lacy. ... And Ray Nance is in there too -- using an electric pick-up, which gives him a very different sound. Good stuff!

Various Artists - Chess Blues (MCA) Disc 3

When I Stop Dreaming: The Best of the Louvin Brothers (Razor & Tie)

I'd like this set: Pieranunzi, Enrico The Complete Remastered Recordings - 6 Cd BXS 1004 $20 PM sent.

Willie Nelson this evening:

Disc 7

Dos by Los Lobos.

More Munch:

Disc 3

Don't apologize for the "hyperbole"! I think it's great when folks are honest about the music that they LOVE.

Strength in Numbers - Telluride Sessions (MCA) Outstanding newgrass session with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer. Willie Nelson - Stardust (Columbia/Sony Legacy) I first heard this music while I was in college, and hearing it again always takes me back to that time.

Mahler: Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" / Scherchen, VSOO, et al (Millennium Classics) Forceful and impassioned. One of Scherchen's great recordings.

Dylan & the Band - The Basement Tapes (Columbia) Original '75 release.

Marty Ehrlich's Dark Woods Ensemble - Just Before the Dawn (New World, 1995)

Disc 1 - originally released as A Fuego Vivo

I'm suppose César Franck's Piano Quintet is more well-known, but his String Quartet is another excellent composition.

Nice haul!!! Ibrahim's Ode to Duke Ellington and Clifford Jordan's Night of the Mark VII are two of my all-time faves.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - A Standing Eight (32 Jazz / Warner Bros) Disc 1 - originally released as The Return of the 5000 lb. Man and the first half of Kirkatron Beautiful.
