One that sounds different to me every time I play it. And I mean that in a complimentary sense.

The Luis Russell Story 1929 - 1934 (Retrieval)

Good music on the Hines. The Wax set is one I should listen to again.

Jeri Southern: You Better Go Now/When Your Heart's on Fire (Decca/Jasmine) Not my usual thing, but I like her singing enough that it's a good way for me to learn some lyrics that I didn't know or only knew parts of.

Saw the last four innings of the game. Magical finish. I was impressed by Pineda. He gave up two solo home runs - only three hits overall - and recovered without getting ruffled. Judge dropped a fly ball in the wind which ended up being a three base error with one out, and Pineda pitched out of it. Last year, he would have imploded after these things. He seems to have matured.

Letterman stole a lot of stuff from Steve Allen - everything but originality.

Charlie Parker: Ballads & Birdland (Zu-Zazz)

Hums of The Lovin' Spoonful Always a pleasure to listen to Zal Yanovsky's guitar playing.

I don't think that anyone who orders the Benedetti will regret it. It's music you can listen to for as long as you're around and continue to hear new things. Genius can do that for you.

I had a Sam Mele glove when I was a young kid. It wasn't a very good glove.

The Temptations: Greatest Hits

I have the Benedetti box and have enjoyed listening to it. I'm a bit of a Bird fanatic. It could be overkill for some people. The thing to realize is that this material may never be available in this form again. That depends on how creative the bootleggers get. Your call (obviously) on whether to get it.
