That would make sense.

Mildly off topic, but why did Jazz Track go out of print, while the vast majority of Miles' Columbia catalog remained readily available for decades?

👍

It is downloadable from Qobuz for 8 bucks!

I've never seen this!!!

Les Baxter: X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (La La Land) An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe (Kritzerland)

You wouldn't happen to be selling the Aretha Columbia box set, would you?

Bernard Herrmann - Twisted Nerve (Stylotone)

George Duning - Bell, Book and Candle - (FSM) Reissue of Colpix LP, except in stereo and with an additional track. With the Candoli Brothers, and a young Johnny Williams on the Novachord. BTW, I would have used the Oxford comma in the title.

David Lynch/Alan R. Splet/Fats Waller - Eraserhead OST (IRS)

Bernard Herrmann - Torn Curtain (Rejected Score, WB) Conducted by Elmer Bernstein.

The movies got ridiculous. But the music is terrifying, at least for the first two films.

Jerry Goldsmith - Damien: Omen II (20th Century Fox)

Claudio Simonetti's Goblin - Suspiria (Rustblade) 45th anniversary prog-rock version. Not sure what makes this version any more prog-rock than the original, but whatevs.

Claudio Simonetti's Goblin - Profondo Rosso, a.k.a. Deep Red (Rustblade) Half studio, half live.

Then check out his Michel Legrand RCA album!

My own interest stems from my commitment to supporting live jazz, especially when played by an 89-year-old who undoubtedly could use the gig money to supplement his social security income.

So now that Jack and Tony are gone, that leaves Johnny Mathis.

This is the most I've ever spent to see an artist whose albums I never paid more than a dollar for.

We saw Jack live twice. The first time was in 2007, with an orchestra. I was working the concert. During the break between sets, I told him how much I loved his album with Michel Legrand. He said that one was among his own favorites. He did "One at a Time" that night, with the same arrangement as on the LP.

Jack was on Kapp, but some of his stuff was recorded at Columbia's 30th Street studio, so he has that distinctive reverb on his voice!

Agreed. His material wasn't always the best, but he had a fantastic voice. Very resonant, sounding like a baritone in the low register, and a tenor in the high register. I may have told this story here before: I saw Jack live circa 2007. He did a version of "Our Love is Here to Stay." The first chorus was very quiet and restrained. He was walking through the audience and singing to people along the way. Just when the second chorus kicked in, with the drummer going to the ride cymbal and the bass walking, Jack gets right in the face of an older woman, skips the first line (It's very clear), and let's out a high Robert Plant wail from out of nowhere. I thought she was going to have a heart attack!
