One of the very last recordings of Jackie & Roy, "The Beautiful Sea: songs of Sun, Sand and Sea."

A very pleasant and warm listening for this winter morning.

I only know the Cannonball. Which other Wilson records do you most recommend?

Any of them, really.    She was remarkably consistent, and (at least here in the U.S.) her albums sold very well, so it's easy to find her LPs for just a few dollars.  She's also an artist whose work "translates" well to anthologies.  

That said, the first Nancy Wilson album that made me sit up and take notice was Hollywood My Way.  It includes astounding versions of Mancini classics -- "Moon River," "Days of Wine & Roses" -- plus a bunch of other hit songs from movies of the day. 

Yesterday's Love Songs, Today's Blues features Nancy Wilson with Gerald Wilson's Orchestra.  Terrific.

On a @JSngry recommendation, I recently picked up Tender Loving Care -- with Billy May arrangements.  Also wonderful.

This is one of his favorites -- and I think it's brilliant too.

Beneath the recordings from ICP Orchestra (consisting of musicians around Misha Mengelberg) this platter really nails the spurit and music of Herbie Nichols .... other hommage projects pale in comparison ....

After a few weeks of immersion in Mimaroglu's straight-up "electronic" music (which is at least as much tape as it is actual electronic), this album pops into place as an organic whole for me like it has always threatened to do.

This is a nice one, John. Now listening for the first time.

They do great things with Wes's compositions and solos.

A thorough exploration of the Montgomery oeuvre, you might say! 😄
