I didn't know Nina was bipolar.  Explains why she never seemed happy, and her music reflected that melancholy.Julie London sounded great, but looked like the babe from 'GoldFinger".Great Music.Cheers

End of August!?  Doesn’t sound too “presto” to me.   It's the virus.   The last Classical CD I ordered from Amazon, but shipped from the UK, took a month and a half to get here.   Most of the planes are sitting on the ground.Cheers

Not close.   No cigar.    Composing a piece that includes Jazz players and Strings, is different from   (Jazz player)  with strings. Can it be that The Frogman, leader of Jazz' anti-Wynton faction,  is using Wynton, to make his points??   Down in ...

The Final Comedown:Blaxploitation movies.  What a waste.   When I think of what could have been done.   Much of the music was a waste also.  Some good stuff outside of Jazz.  WAR for instance.   Great(est) pop band ever??   EW&F also.Cheers
