Drew, ...CC, Didn't get them all, but I did OK.<br /><br />Drew, Nonsense, indeed. I quit lining up like a lemming after RSD 2011. As you say, though, always ends up being something I want. Now I show up at the end of the day or later and sift through the scraps. I usually do alright since my tastes seem to differ from the masses.<br /><br />Judge Pop, Actually, I like Chet Baker's songs with vocals even more than the instrumentals. The perfect song is one where he sings and has one brilliant trumpet solo. Want an example? Try his take on "Just Friends.' Perfection. Speaking of Pacific Jazz, if you want to go off the path a bit, try Chet's 1958 album Big Band. Really into that one right now. Your song Alfa Romeo is beautiful. One of my all-time favorites... my wife's too.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-78882815971545239422016-11-25T17:05:51.664-05:002016-11-25T17:05:51.664-05:00Well I never, a fellow Chet Baker fan. Of his late...Well I never, a fellow Chet Baker fan. Of his later stuff, I really like the Tokyo live album where he does Almost Blue by Elvis Costello and some other delicious ear candy such as Stella By Starlight and Arborway. Again, a long way from a perfect performace but teh feel of him and the band is unmistakeable. Apparently he had to stay sober in Japan cos of the strict laws on things he was partial to. Purists criticise him as a singer but it the feel, man, and I'd take him above Sinatra any time. And those session with Gerry Muligan on pacific jazz are classics. Of course you know I'm a Chet fan, Alfa Romeo etc.Pop Judgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915056881273802823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-34157535756331593052016-11-25T07:06:05.497-05:002016-11-25T07:06:05.497-05:00This Black Friday nonsense is getting on my goat. ...This Black Friday nonsense is getting on my goat. Why do we over this side of the pond have to adopt everything from the USA? Can't we think up our own exploitative, consumer frenzy. As you know I have nothing against the States but we seem to slavishly follow you, well in everything except politics where you seem to be following us to hell in a handcart.<br /><br />The records look worth getting tho'.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-2836705141186574822016-11-23T15:46:56.614-05:002016-11-23T15:46:56.614-05:00These would liven up any collection BrianThese would liven up any collection BrianCharity Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049726176497694026noreply@blogger.com
