Since you can hear this composer so much in concert I generally avoid recordings. I thought these might be cool to dabble in but am finding them a bit underwhelming. Nice sounding but a bit smooth, maybe? Can't deal with recordings of piano concertos (in general) so sticking to symphonies.

 

 

Meanwhile here's what I've got in the car - on CD, with apologies to Jim for the eventual environmental impact (he's right, he's right - just don't tell him...)

Although I loved this guy's version of Summertime many years ago, I never thought of checking his other stuff out. His soul stuff is kind of dull, the same I, ii  iii progression over and over, but he recorded two LPs of standards, and IMHO he was better than any other soul singer at putting his own stamp on that type of music, with help from his arranger Phil Wright, and some great Chess sidemen.
