Tommy Flanagan & Kenny Barron - Together (Denon)

Disc 2 Up next: EDIT: The Gifted Ones is such a great record! And nobody talks about it. Why??? This is a subtle masterpiece of blues and swing, people! Neglect it at your peril!!!

I love all the Blakey records with Curtis Fuller. He really brought something extra to the band. Another GOOD one. I need to pull that off the shelf and give it a spin!

Back to Ralph Vaughan Williams. Now listening to his Fourth Symphony -- as performed by Boult & the New Philharmonia Orchestra: Picked up this LP in a local shop today for two bucks. Now, I need to find Boult's recording of RVW's Sea Symphony (No. 1), and I'll have his complete EMI/Angel cycle on vinyl.

Fantastic video. I'd only seen that for the first time a few months ago.

Wasn't aware that he had written an autobiography. Thanks for the heads-up on that, sgcim. He certainly led an interesting life! Was there anyone who moved so fluidly and convincingly between different musical worlds?!?!?

I'm enjoying Ben's playing at this very moment. Sometimes, Life is good.

A miraculous voice of another kind.

What a miraculous voice Netania Davrath had!

I agree. Among the pre-HIP, "old school" conductors, my favorite for Mozart is Josef Krips.

Ordered these today: Here in the U.S., Handley's Vaughan Williams cycle appears to be out-of-print. But I was able to buy all five of these CDs through one U.K.-based vendor on discogs -- and the price was right.

Yes, exactly. Good description. Between Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem and Vaughan Williams' Sea Symphony, I've been on a choral kick lately. Until recently, I never thought of this symphony as one of Vaughan Williams' best. Now I do. Handley's recording has completely won me over.

Both of those stories are great! Any more?

Chico Hamilton - Passin' Thru / Man from Two Worlds (Impulse) Various Artists - Boogie Woogie, Vol. 1: The Pianists (Jasmine)

The Nocturnes

I'd bet you a dollar it's the same Web development company that's built both sites.

Thanks, kh. I can see the info on my mobile phone. Whoever designed the site needs to do a better job of testing with different Web browsers! Apparently, IE and Chrome users aren't welcome.

Can someone please share the entire Big Ears daily schedule? Or point to a location where I can see it. For some reason, I CAN'T see it on the Big Ears site. When I click on the Line Up and Schedule links, all I get is a screen prompting me to sign up for their newsletter -- which I've already done! It's frustrating as hell (says the old fart with technology challenges).

Brendel's Tempest and Waldstein from this set:

Great record!

I've got that one too. It's the third (and only other) EDR in my collection. I know it's a "classic" -- but it's never grabbed me like HvK or Solti. . . .Maybe I'll give it another listen tomorrow.
