For me Sinatra's last truly great album was the one he did with Jobim. The interplay was lovely.

Anyone who doesn't have it should definitely grab the Clifford Brown. gregmo

On tap for tonight:

Yeah, well, I was with Scott Dolan on that one!

Dumb question: How can you tell if it's a CD-R? Is the label on the cd different? gregmo

Fastening my seat belt tonight with this classic

Not a huge issue with me. I had no trouble getting it out. It's just the cheapness of it that irritates me. gregmo

Yeah, well, I like the music but hate the packaging. It's cheap, cheap, cheap. gregmo

A long life, beautifully lived. R. I. P. gregmo

You're reaching a good ways back in Mosaic history for that one, Mike! gregmo

Listening to it now. Music is fine, and I have no objection to the design of the cover, but the *packaging* is unbelievably cheap--skinny cardboard that was warped by the plastic wrap. Luckily, the disc itself was ok, but, really, they couldn't have sprung for a simple jewel box or even a slightly nicer digipac? gregmo

2-cd set from "essential" completes my collection of Ella's Deccas. Some schlock there, but some treasures too.

The Handy album was Columbia, but Sony owns both labels. As I remember, the new Mosaic set was going to include all of the RCA and Columbia studio stuff. gregmo

A Woman Under the Influence on Amazon Prime. Unbelievable performance by Gena Rowlands. gregmo
