Whats on your turntable tonight?

Maynard Ferguson
M.F. Horn
1969 Columbia (Canada OP)

I’ve had a couple of US pressing of this that weren’t nearly as good as this Canadian issue. This is Atmospheric and Spatially Revealing. 
Also, we played two of these charts in my High School Stage (Jazz) Band so that adds to the fun.  

@Uber,  Re: Living Color. I think I have another ( their second?) Album on CD but you’re right, I haven’t played it in many years, maybe never a second time, and it’s in my memory not anywhere as impactful as the debut record.  It probably deserves a second listen.  Will dig it out over the weekend and report back.

Ludwig van Beethoven Klavierkonzert Nr. 5 "Emperor" Concerto

You got it. Hopefully you like it. I have a Beethoven cycle conducted by Bohm.

John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman-Side 1

Great album. I would have had to play both sides though 😉

@bkeske,   Thanks, yes I did and it’s great.  Played it every day since it arrived.  I think it’s the best recording of the Emperor that I know of (so far).  I’m not in a position to judge conductors, especially on a record, but the orchestra sounds very good to me on this record with tremendous emotionally charged dynamics (aren’t good stereos something). But Pollini, wow.
