  1. Various - Brasil '65 - Capitol (mono) "Featuring the Sergio Mendes Trio The subtle, contemporary guitar of Rosinha de Valenca, and introducing the sunny, refreshing voice of Wanda de Sah!" Bud Shank also. I don't think there is anything "sunny" about Wanda de Sah's voice. It has an introspective, night-time quality.
  2. Michel Magne - Tropical Fantasy - Coumbia (stereo) Sheila - Long Sera L'Hiver La Vamp - Philips (stereo/mono, whatever that means)
  3. You're in luck. I just bought a red garter belt.
  4. You are welcome. I love this genre.
  5. Last night: Debussy La Mer, conducted by Boulez, Coiumbia stereo, with the hideous reissue newspaper headline graphics. Decent performance, but some of the instruments were lost in the balance. Also, the part with the strings playing the open harmonies halfway through the first movement was kind of ragged.
  6. I didn't see the story I was thinking of. IIRC, Chris was working as a jazz DJ in Philly in the 1950s and a guy named Bill used to call and complain about the stuff he was playing.
  7. Sorcerer - Bob Dorough (with Miles Davis) - Columbia (stereo)
  8. Does anyone remember Chris Albertson's Bill Cosby story?
  9. Do you mean legitimately licensed CDRs like are sometimes sold on Amazon?
  10. Very cool! Thanks for sharing! Had he still maintained an interest in jazz while you were studying with him?
  11. Stravinsky - The Fairy's Kiss (full-length) - Conducted by the composer - Columbia (stereo)
  12. As long as you spend a reasonable amount of time playing the piano (or something with weighted keys), you will do fine.
  13. Bumping this thread. Franz Waxman's Crime in the Streets, a definitive example of Twilight Zone jazz, is on sale at Varese for only five bucks: https://www.varesesarabande.com/collections/on-sale-1/products/crime-in-the-streets
  14. Stravinsky - The Fairy's Kiss: Divertimento; Hovhaness - Mysterious Mountain - Fritz Reiner, Chicago Symphony - RCA Gold Seal (reissue, stereo)
  15. I have a friend who was a film critic, and after positions were eliminated, they wanted to make him film, music, and food critic. He is enough of a renaissance man to have done all three, but he walked.
  16. Still worth the ten bucks. I will revive my Twilght Zone jazz thread and discuss this album, if I have not already.
  17. Ravel - La Valse, Rapsodie Espagnole, Bolero - Bernstein, New York Phil - Columbia (stereo) Man, the drummer is rushing Bolero.
  18. You can order at least 3 CDs for the same shipping price. You may find other things you like. For example, the 2-CD collection of Bernard Herrmann's music for the Alfred Hitchcock Hour is only ten bucks.
  19. The highlight for me is the 13-minute track on side 1, about 5:20 in on the video above. It sounds like a Twilight Zone score. The whole LP is generally in that bag, although there is one raucous juvenile delinquent track also.
  20. Varese Sarabande is having a spring cleaning sale: https://www.varesesarabande.com/collections/on-sale-1?page=1 For the folks who frequent this site, of particular note is Franz Waxman's Crime in the Streets, originally issued on a Decca LP. https://www.varesesarabande.com/collections/on-sale-1/products/crime-in-the-streets If you love the sound of nervous, Twilight Zone jazz as much as I, this is a must-have, and it is only five bucks!
  21. Last night: Bob Dorough - Multiplication Rock - Capitol Bob Dorough - Devil May Care - Bethlehem The Amazing Bud Powell Vol. 2 - Blue Note (reprocessed stereo)
  22. John Coltrane - Bahia - Prestige twofer
