Now on my turntable: Laurindo Almeida (g), Salli Terri (vo) & Others – Duets with the Spanish Guitar, Album 2 (Angel) Originally released in 1960 on Capitol Almeida's & Terri's first collaboration was superb -- and this second one is too.

Now spinning: Antonín Dvořák: Dumky-Trio, op. 90 / Beaux Arts Trio (Philips) A lovely interpretation with a sure but delicate touch.

Good deal. Thx for sharing your impressions.

This is amazing news, Mark!!! Congratulations! I can't wait to see it!

I've never heard that one, T.D. What are your thoughts?

NP: Disc 2 - Works for solo guitar by Spanish composers: Albéniz, Tárrega, Granados, Moreno Torroba & others

I'm sorry to hear of this news. He will be missed. R.I.P.

Me too. An outstanding set!

Now listening to Gemini (1972) from this CD:

Still enjoying Erroll: Erroll Garner - Long Ago and Far Away (Columbia, 1987) with John Simmons (b) and Shadow Wilson (d); recorded in 1950-51

Next up: Azymuth - Outubro (Milestone/Far Out, 1980)

More EG: The Erroll Garner Collection, Vol. 2: Dancing on the Ceiling (EmArcy, 1989) with Eddie Calhoun (b) and Kelly Martin (d) Previously unissued tracks, recorded between 1961 and 1965.

Erroll Garner - The Complete Concert by the Sea (Legacy, 3 CDs) Disc 3 - Original album edit Garner's music is so irrepressible and irresistible. It's very nice to have the uncut concert on discs 1 & 2, but the original album is so engrained in my ear from years of listening that I can't help preferring it. . . . This album's AQ has never been ideal, and it still isn't. That said, the sound of this Legacy set is much improved compared to the "Columbia Jazz Masterpieces" version that I've had since my college days. Good stuff, T.D.! A terrific CD! I'm especially partial to Louisiana Slim.

Koch CD reissue

Probably my favorite J-LP album.
