Teasing the Korean

He lived to age 93. I think I had an LP he did with Legrand, but I unloaded it. He wound up doing a lot of C&W stuff by the late '50s/early '60s. I never really got a handle on him, and what little I heard over the decades did not necessarily inspire me to. I was surprised to learn that he co-wrote the standard "We'll Be Together Again."

The message board combined my responses, so the CTI is not mono. Of course, there is always the mono button on your amp!

James Moody does an excellent version also:

Hubert Laws - Afro Classic (CTI) Thee Great Kenyon Hopkins - The Yellow Canary (Verve) iMONO!

Maynard Ferguson S/T (Columbia) The one with the amazing version of "Aquarius."

Mitch is also responsible for that wonderful 30th Street studio reverb that was placed on vocalists such as Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, Eydie Gorme, and others. I love that sound.

Billy Eckstine - Don't Worry 'Bout Me (Mercury) iMONO!

Morgana King - I Know How it Feels to Be Lonely (Verve, stereo) Featuring "Tomorrow Never Knows," "Sunshine Superman," and other sounds of today!

Tito Puente also. Tito was planning to become a Schillinger teacher, but accidentally became a professional musician instead! 🤪

Did you ever hear George Shearing's version? This one stayed perpetually in the DJ crate back in the day.

Vernon Duke studied the Schillinger System when he came to the U.S. Gershwin also studied the Schillinger System. Here is a gorgeous Vernon Duke instrumental composition, though it is not extended.

Count Basie Swings, Joe Williams Sings - Verve iMONO!

Chris Connor - He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (Atlantic) iMONO!

Nancy Wilson - Today - My Way (Capitol) Sarah Vaughn - No Count Sarah (Mercury) Both in iMONO!

Hard to see the horse head, but it's there.

An accordion player left his accordion in the car while parked in a rough neighborhood. When he returned, the car was broken into, and there were two more accordions in the car.

I watched a few and didn't care for it either. Part of that may be my inherent distaste for the 1980s, but I didn't think it captured the mood or atmosphere of the original at all. Maybe if it had been titled something other than Twilight Zone, I might have received it differently.

Electric Dreams has some similarities to Black Mirror. I don't think it's quite as good, although as with any anthology series, particular episodes will be better than others. As for The Outer Limits, the first season was very good, but the second season was dumbed down. The network or production company basically cleaned house after the first season, and hired a new staff for the second.

Fans of the original Twilight Zone should check out The Black Mirror, if they haven't already. It does a great job of speaking to contemporary anxieties, just as TZ did with postwar anxieties.

Just a note to say that my opinion on the Twilight Zone music has not changed since 2008, except to say that it is among my favorite music ever, not just favorite TV music.

RiB also launched a sub-genre of film music that we may never have otherwise received. Case in point, Alfred Newman's "Street Scene." Alex North, A Streetcar Named Desire:
