Ludwig van Beethoven SYMPHONY NO. 9 Berliner Philharmoniker / Herbert von Karajan DG 1977 / 2007 The first multi-disc box set I ever purchased. From a classical record shop in Nuremberg, Germany. If you thought you might like a record, you could play it on the house turntable to be sure!! The clerk assured me my copy had not been 'tried out'. Outstanding packaging. A collectors item, even in the age of digital.

Duke Ellington MONEY JUNGLE Blue Note 1962 / 1987 Duke Ellington(piano), Charlie Mingus(bass), Max Roach(drums) Notes: "The title tune is "Money Jungle." This sounds like a title that might have been thought of by the protest conscious Mingus or Roach. But no, as all the tunes here, it is a product of the Ellington imagination."

I suppose that it could be argued that a protest is not much of a protest if it is not in plain “view”. However, some, including some artists, choose to not mix their art with politics; not in an obvious way, anyway. “I merely took the energy that it takes to pout and wrote some blues.” - Duke Ellington
Great record, btw. |
Tina Brooks TRUE BLUE Blue Note 1960 / 1992 Notes: Brooks was one of Jazz's ultimate footnotes until the Blue Note savvy Japanese brought his 1958 quintet session, Back to the Tracks and the rest of the Brooks/McLean music into print toward the close of the 1970s.

Since I was a born hunter, got my first deer at 12 . I came in 3rd .Even tried in over the ship nets in the Phillpines , no sweat !
