[Hitchcock's 'North by Northwest']

Yes Martin, excellent.

I had a flash of that scene when reading your post.

It's a pity if the DVD has been cut. I recently watched my region 4 DVD but will re-check it tonight for the omission.

I think I have more Hitchcock films than any other director. Rear Window would have to be my favorite.

Point of Departure : Andrew Hill

Out to Lunch : Eric Dolphy

Page One : Joe Henderson

[Elliott Smith]

I will second the vote for X/O. I was bowled over by this album and it still surprises me today.

I am glad there are others out there who dig him, as he is pretty well unknown around here (Australia) as far as I know.

[Seriously, if you could only have one CD/LP]

Wow, I have that very box set (the Shostakovich quartets), but I'm afraid I haven't listened to it probably as often as I should.

Your mention of it here in this thread may prompt me to give it another spin in the coming days. Thanks!!

The Fitzwilliam recordings are terrific. Enjoy!

[Seriously, if you could only have one CD/LP]

I am afraid I would have to go with a set too.

However, if I was forced to take a single CD it would be First Meditations by Trane.
