  1. You need to give this one a second chance. It's considered one of his best.
  2. We need a "nerd" icon where the smiley face has glasses.
  3. Call me a square: Steve & Eydie, Bonfa & Brazil - Columbia mono. Arrangements by Deodato. Overall, better than I would have expected.
  4. Ski Trails - Jo Stafford (w/Paul Weston) - Columbia six-eye mono. Terrific winter themed (as opposed to Xmas) album. Love her version of "Moonlight in Vermont."
  5. Today's (Thanksgiving) Democracy Now is about lyricist Yip Harburg. Amy Goodman interviews his son. http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/22/1448225
  6. The Hi-Los Happen to Bossa Nova - Reprise mono. I thought their approach would be too hyper for the restrained sound of bossa. They're more laid back on this album than on any others I've heard.
  7. Jimmy Scott - The Source - Atlantic
  8. Yusef Lateef - Lost in Sound - Charlie Parker Records, stereo
  9. Does he play accordion on Mancini's Pink Panther soundtrack? I know he played on some Mancini sessions.
  10. Last night: Duke Ellington - Anatomy of a Murder - Columbia 6-eye stereo. I have also have a mono copy and it sounds better than this one.
  11. Cannonball Adderley - African Waltz - Riverside mono Can't tell if the woman on the cover is in ecstasy or being visited by Norman Bates.
  12. Mine too. Apparently it's missing some music and the tapes were in less than ideal shape, but it's never bothered me.
  13. Listening to "A Thanksgiving Prayer" by William S. Burroughs (from the Hal Wilner produced CD).
  14. New Recording of North by Northwest: http://www.varesesarabande.com/details.asp?pid=vcl-1107-1067
  15. A couple of great albums: Jo+Jazz Jo Stafford sings Broadway's Best both on Columbia. The latter has the definitive reading of the Schwartz and Dietz standard "Something to Remember You By."
  16. The New Renaissance Society - Baroque 'n' Rolling Stones - Hanna Barbera mono
  17. Tacos for dinner! So I'm playing: Esquivel - Latin-Esque - RCA black label mono
  18. Tacos for dinner! So I'm playing: Moog Espana by Sid Bass (RCA orange label, but it ain't Dynaflex). SQUARES UNITE!
  19. Bernard Herrmann - It's Alive 2 - Starlog Conducted by Laurie Johnson
  20. Duke Ellington - A Drum is a Wombat - Columbia six-eye mono
  21. Toquinho & Vinicius - Sao Demais os Perigos Desta Vida - RGE stereo (1972)
  22. The Best of Tito Puente - RCA black label - mono
  23. Junior Mance - With a Lotta Help from my Friends - Atlantic Similar vibe to Ramsey Lewis's early 70s albums. Nice version of "Spinning Wheel." I've never heard a bad version of this tune - aside from BS&T's godawful original.
  24. Duke Ellington - Such Sweet Thunder - Columbia 6-eye mono These days, when I put on an Ellington album, I often find myself thinking "This is his greatest ever album," until I put on another one, and think the same exact thought.
