Disc One

Disc 4. Closed my eyes and my fingers landed on this one. Lovely stuff.

While reading the interesting article on his early years in Birmingham:

Well, that was a gate-fold LP, so no booklet as such, but it was thoughtful of Scott to send you a copy of the liners! gregmo

Disc 4

You inspired me to pick this one out. Listening to Disc 3 right now. gregmo

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

Disc 2

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.
