Diana Krall - Live in Paris. One of her best albums, IMHO.

 

[White Knight]

Hi Teddy. I checked out the link you suggested and found it very enjoyable indeed. Thank You. If you'd like to hear another great pianist, check this out: http://youtu.beMl1tWYykWQ. Steve

Today I have been listening to some Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter: The Blue Note Recordings.

 

[teddy]

Thanks Steve, I will have a listen. Did you try Esbjorn Svensson plays Monk? His interpretation.

More EST on spotify. Almost covered everything they have. It is also giving me a deeper appreciation of T Monk.

Teddy, hi. I will check out your suggestion of Svennsson playing Monk. Please let me know if you were able to access the youtube link I provided for Monk on 1-10; I'm still a little unsure--as it's my first attempt to post and share a link--if I did it correctly. Again, please forgive me for my blue fax paus-- isthis shade any better?:grin: Today I heard Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter :The Best of The Blue Note Recordings.

bill potts- the jazz soul of porgy and bess-united artists lp. potts assembled a truly allstar big band for this great version of gershwins musical, recorded late 50s. gord

Sarah Vaughn singing Stormy Weather. Very appropriate.

Steve any dark blue will not show up for me on a blue background. Same with dark green. Default (comes out as white) or yellow is certainly best for us poor buggers with poor sight. I managed to cut and paste your link, thank you. On youtube there is a box marked share which should allow a direct link if I remember rightly. Click on it and once the box is filled go to file, copy click on your thread message and file, paste. As below

pee wee russell-ask me now-impulse. russell started making modern records just before he died, and they were actually quite good. this is one of his better ones, only his die-hard dixieland fans could hate this. gord
