Warren, if you don't have it you must get the Sarah Vaughn "Send in the Clowns" with The Count Basie Orchestra. Great performance along with sonics.
XRCDs WOW
Spent the entire weekend (listening time, that is) enjoying 10 XRCDs I just purchased. (Bill Evans, Miles, Ray Bryant, Ella, Terry Evans and Art Tatum.) Unbelievable! I've often said, how wonderful it would have been if we had the technology, 50 years back, to record the greats. OK, they (XRs) are, still, not like today's stuff, but, man, it's the BEST I've ever heard these guys sound on Cd. Intimate, sweet on top, Sax never sounded better. Paul Motian's drum--forgeddabout it. You know all the lingo. Words just cannot do what a simple audition will do. I highly recommend checking out these babies. I'm doing another 10 as soon as my wife gets over the 10 I just bought. peace, warren
