  1. Tommy Flanagan & Kenny Barron - Together (Denon)
  2. 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!!!
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. Fantastic video. I'd only seen that for the first time a few months ago.
  6. 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?!?!?
  7. I'm enjoying Ben's playing at this very moment. Sometimes, Life is good.
  8. A miraculous voice of another kind.
  9. What a miraculous voice Netania Davrath had!
  10. I agree. Among the pre-HIP, "old school" conductors, my favorite for Mozart is Josef Krips.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Both of those stories are great! Any more?
  14. Chico Hamilton - Passin' Thru / Man from Two Worlds (Impulse) Various Artists - Boogie Woogie, Vol. 1: The Pianists (Jasmine)
  15. I'd bet you a dollar it's the same Web development company that's built both sites.
  16. 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.
  17. 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).
  18. Brendel's Tempest and Waldstein from this set:
  19. 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.
