Three favorite LP’s

Scofield's latest with Dave Holland, brilliant reissue of Waltz for Debbie recommended by Fremer (Cohearent Audio LP), anything from Makiko Hirabayashi, Marilyn Mazur (left us recently, brilliant), and Klavs Hovman.

While it would be too laborious to sort this out, Patrick Leonard's "It All Comes Down  To Mood" would be on the list.

Patricia Barber has some great recording.

Tony Levin Band, "Bringing It Down To The Bass"

OK, not records, but I can narrow it down to 3 artists in high rotation:

Esther Phillips

Joni Mitchell

This is the Kit

1. Al Stewart's "Modern Times". Great orchestration and excellent songwriting.

2. Richard Wagner -"The Ring of the Nibelung", Solti conducting. Yeah, I know this is thirteen or so LPs. Epic.

3. Anton Dvorak - "The New World Symphony". Mehta conducting.(on London). The closest I've ever heard to a live orchestra..

There are many, many more in the same class as those above. Pretty tough to choose only three.

Mine are:

Bach Cantata #140. Karl Ristenpart, conductor. On  Nonesuch Records.

Debussy Nocturnes and Jeux. Concertgebouw Orchestra, Haitink, conductor.  On Philips Records

Just the Blues. Joe Williams, Count Basie. On Roulette Records,

I like you -- can we be friends?
