You know the way the people (and you know who you are) who like/love the Lady In Satin album (an album which, despite occasional attempted listenings throughout the years, I still find to be godawful garbage -- I'd rather listen to The Chipmunks Sing "Strange Fruit" and other Lady Day Favorites than ever listen to Lady In Satin again!), well that's the way I feel about this album.  A glorious late career masterpiece!

I wouldn´t say I´m the biggest fan of Oscar Peterson like others might be (I got to know people who didn´t listen to anything else but Oscar Peterson ) , but yes.... the stuff Mr. .... that long long name something with Brunner-Schwer from the Black Forest really did a good job recording this master in a very private and personal manner.

I don´t remember all of them, one was "Action", one was "Tristeza", another I think was a solo album "Exclusivly for my Friends" and strange enough the only one I kept even if most O.P. fans might not like it that much, is "In Tune" since I was curious how it works with the vocal group, and this was something like a hit this "Sesamy Street" everybody in my school knew and hummed that......

One I need to get.

Is Spithead back to normal after yesterday’s big event John? Probably not I guess although the focus has shifted.

Enrico Pieranunzi - Live in Paris (Challenge, 2005)
with Hein van de Geyn and André "Dédé" Ceccarelli

Superb. One of Pieranunzi's best, IMO.

Absolutely.

This is a good record too, albeit in so many different ways as to make comparisons as irrelevant as they are unnecessary (or vice-versa?).

I like to come back to this ever year or so for a few reasons, the foremost of which is that I like it a lot, but the second is to find the bottom/back of Spector's Wall. No luck to date! Plus, I just like thinking about Hal Blaine playing on all those LA pop records and never being less than a total boss. AFAIK, Spector never doubled him, never had to, just put him there and let him be Hal Blaine.

If Hal Blaine & Randy Weston can't be appreciated for the unique triumphant human accomplishers they are, totally different except for being total badass accomplishers of their own abilities and ambitions then humanity is spiritually slow-fucking itself into extinction.

And oh yeah, the post "Waling In The Rain" records are really interesting, period.

Hi-res files on a dvdr  that a friend sent me some years ago. He has this labeled as 96/24, but my DAC says it's 192/24. Sure sounds great.
