Cladio Fasoli / Franco D'Andrea - Jazz Duo (Dire)

For what it's worth: I didn't get any shipping notice whatsoever on my recent order. But I got it fine. It took a little more than 2 weeks to arrive.

Didn't know that one existed. Quite the line-up. Looks interesting. EDIT: I just found it on YouTube. In case others might want to give it a listen:

Coleman Hawkins - Hollywood Stampede (Capitol) Hawk sounds magnificent on these sides. Maggie too.

Earl Hines in New Orleans (Chiaroscuro)

Duke Ellington - Soul Call (Verve) CD reissue with bonus tracks. Superb.

The Complete 1932-1940 Brunswick, Columbia & Master Recordings of Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra (Mosaic) Disc 6

Count Basie 3 - For the Second Time (Pablo) David Friedman - Of the Wind's Eye (Enja) Terrific music and terrific sound recording. A demonstration disc.

Freddie Hubbard - Outpost (Enja)

Genesis - Wind & Wuthering (Atco)

I've always wondered about that "Tracey Plays Ellington" record. I've never heard it. What do you think of it, aparxa? (Or others?)

Ultimate Beethoven: The Essential Masterpieces (Decca) Disc 4 - Violin Concerto; Violin Romances Nos. 1 & 2 / Henryk Szyerng, Bernard Haitink, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Ralph Towner - Time Line (ECM) Dave Holland - Emerald Tears (ECM) I suppose stringed instruments like the guitar or bass are a bit of a "cheat" because -- like pianos -- they offer harmonic possibilities that aren't open to one-note-at-a-time instruments like saxophones or trumpets.

I wish I could be there for these performances. The closest I'll ever come to being at the Keystone -- aside from hearing the recordings -- is this book: https://www.amazon.com/Keystone-Korner-Portrait-Jazz-Club/dp/0253356911

More Brahms: Arthur Rubinstein Plays Brahms (RCA/Sony) Disc 6 - Piano Trios Nos. 1 & 2 with Szeryng and Fournier

Brahms: String Quartets Nos. 1-3; Piano Quintet / New Budapest Quartet, Piers Lane (Hyperion)

One of the great DSCH 15 recordings, I think. And Oistrakh is unsurpassed in the 2nd VC (of course).

Jean Sibelius: Symphonies & Orchestral Works / Sir John Barbirolli, Hallé Orchestra (Warner Classics) Disc 4 - Syms. Nos. 5 & 7; incidental music from Pelléas et Mélisande (excerpts) Sir John's Sibelius is close to my heart. I'm no expert, but Gulda's WTC is my preference over all others I've heard.

Jim Hall - Live! (A&M Horizon) Desert-island music.

I agree! NP: Graham Collier Music featuring Harry Beckett - Songs for My Father (Fontana / BGO)

Hal Galper - Now Hear This (Enja)

During my high school days, I mostly listened to prog rock: Rush, Genesis, & Yes. So this is a bit of a stroll down memory lane. Rush - A Farewell to Kings (Mercury)

Al Cohn - No Problem (Xanadu) I know I keep going on and on about this record, but I just can't get enough of Cohn's sound. It's so muscular and dense. It reminds me of polished rosewood.

Paul, I don't have that version of Horenstein conducting Mahler's Ninth. But I do have Horenstein's version of the M9 on Vox. I think it's one most intense renditions I've heard. What do you think of this BBC Legends version? NP: Gil Goldstein - Pure as Rain (Chiaroscuro) Recorded 1977

Still getting to know this recently-acquired LP: Bill Hardman - Home (Muse) with Junior Cook (ts); Slide Hampton (tb); Mickey Tucker (p); Chin Suzuki (b); Victor Jones (d); Lawrence Killian (perc) Recorded 1978 EDIT: I just listened to this all the way through twice. It's an excellent record. It's nothing terribly ambitious, but the music is solid through and through. Someone here on the forum recommended this LP. Can't remember who it was, but whoever you are, "THANKS!"
