Personally I think she's among the most beautiful actresses in the business these days and I'm glad they filmed many angles and aspects of her! (And that voice!)

Yeah, just illegal when run through the Macero "doubler" device!" DAMN!

Honestly, I have NOT been able to detect a pattern.

I think you did fine. I bought mine when it first came out, and the best price I found was . .. 300 bucks. So enjoy the incredible music within!

I had taped the CSI finale, and finally got to watch it last night. Gorshin had a rather small bit, about two minutes total on the screen, where he was sitting around with one other celeb and the casino-owner father of "Catherine" (Marge Helgenberger). He did a few impressions and spoke a half dozen lines. They dedicated the show to him. It was an interesting episode in other ways. . . . Tarantino-esque and decidedly a little outside the norm for CSI.

Randy Weston, for sure, all good recommendations here. Also The Brotherhood of Breath, Hugh Masakela . . . .

Nope. 40's glamor dolls do nothing for me. Berigan is the one who gets all excited over those. I just don't dig the sound of those Venuses as much as I dig the sound of other labels. And I haven't been wowed by too many of the performances. You might like the Johnny Smith however.

I'm not easily broken. I could probably hear that a number of times and not shift my opinion. I'm resolute.

Well to be honest, the Venuses don't seem that great sounding to ME. Part of the snooziness is the rather placid sound. And the Smith Roosts probably won't sound thin; the Addey remastered Mosaic sounds EXCELENT, and I imagine the cd will be from these remasterings. But that's just me, to each their own and then some (no wait, it's Democrats that believe in individualism,* I keep forgetting!) B-) *According to Dean on Meet the Press yesterday.

Yes, that would be the miles-tree.org Lost Quintet compilation. Some amazing stuff in that batch!

No, but there are plenty of Venuses I find snoozey. I don't pursue them any longer; not worth the money to me outside of the Wilens and Shepps I have already.

If you like those snoozy Venuses you should like those Smiths. -_-

My Cannonball collection is embarrassingly small (only 6 or 7 cds with him as a leader, I think) so I have some serious work ahead of me over the next few years. Guy ← Well, it shouldn't be "serious work." Cannon's music always had an element of fun and excitement within and it will turn out to be FUN to get caught up!

Mr. Tanno spelled "Alberghetti" incorrectly. Got the "warm and willing" part right!

She was not an attractive woman. . . She has an interesting delivery and style. . . for a few minutes at least. You're not missing anything in my opinion.

Sidewinder, you're really going to enjoy those two titles. The Water version of the Pearson pust the Mosaic Select to shame. Time for me to order the Roach. -_-

In my opinion all the Cannball Riverside/Landmarks are great. This one. . .well it's a different feel than Jazz Workshop Revisited, but great playing from all concerned.

This morning I listened to Beethoven's Third (Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic, DG), and "The Gellers" downloaded from Verve Vault, and downloaded three lps from http://www.sabadabada.com, Elis' "Como & Porque," and Monk's "Brilliant Corners." Shortly, it will be Marvin's "What's Goin' On". . . .

Van Cliburn: Tchaikovsky, Piano Concerto No. 1 (SACD Hybrid)

I agree with Chris, this is a mixed bag, and when it's good. . . it's great! I just listen to bits and pieces any more. This has been on US cd TWICE before this new one. The second time (in the Avenue Jazz series of Bethlehems) this had a few extra pieces I think.

This and four other Living Stereo hybrid SACDs are available at yourmusic.com!

Me too; I'd love to have been able to hear each of these bands he led from this time forward a few times each!

Thanks for posting those!

Brownie, I'm glad I didn't steer you wrong! I could no longer do a comparison, as I gave the JVC to my father in Ohio, but. . . I was pretty sure I would have kept the BEST sounding version.

I'd love to read all those. Those pieces that I have read from this magazine are wonderful fun! But I've bought myself way too many expensive presents lately!
