One of my favourites of hers: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/product.asp...t&pid=10321 An absolute classic with Oscar Peterson.

Good. This should generate some cash flow, allowing them to release more from Michael Bolton... or are they going to overdub him on this? This cover is a little bit scary... http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Bolton/dp/B0...TF8&s=music

Hi, I am a great fan of George Russells jazz records from the 50's and up to 1962 when "The Outer View" was released. I especially am fond of these CD's: "Stratusphunk", "Jazz in the Space Age" and "Jazz Workshop". Has anyone heard this record and know if it is a good one? http://www.georgerussell.com/80th.html Are there other recordings from 1963 and onwards that can be recommended? - Jostein

Hi, Maybe the Eurail pass will do: http://www.raileurope.com/us/rail/passes/e...l_flexipass.htm. The rail system in central Western Europe is usuallly very effective. Exceptions might be Poland and Finland.
