| Jazz for aficionados frogman there was a few negative remarks on some of the Amazon reviews about the interplay between Sonny and Donald Cherry but this is, IMHO, is what makes this complete set so interesting. I listened to disc 1 and the first track, Oleo #1, almost... | |

| Jazz for aficionados alex,No rush on the LP whenever you have spare time. I like this version of Mood Indigo by Nina Simone. A little up-tempo then the others I posted but I like her version. Definitely a finger snapper!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5euaoFlU87g | |
| Jazz for aficionados alex,Did you send out an LP?I have Das Boot Blu Ray remastered the multi channel audio mix is incredibly good! | |

| Jazz for aficionados I prefer the piano playing of Eliane Elias:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGU3tUM0zSwAnd her vocals are pretty darn good:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlI5eTr5a-0I saw her live at the Blue Note NYC in 2009.I may not be a connoisseur of jazz mus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman I agree 100% that Nina Simone is not in a league with Sarah Vaughn. I never really like Simone's vocals, nevermind her piano playing. Sarah Vaughn, IMHO, is on a short list of greatest female vocalists in any genre. | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10,Thanks for the Kenny Clarke and Oscar Pettiford links. Very cool rendition by Kenny Clarke with a phenomenal line-up of musicians.And Pettiford's take is just as good! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Paul Chambers. Probably on a short list of greatest Acoustical bass players in the jazz genre of all time. To bad he was addicted to heroin and alcohol which contributed heavily to his early death from tuberculosis.Thanks frogman for the "Chambers... | |
