Frogman, I must have overlooked that, do you recall the month and year "Stereophile" recommended it?
Thank you.
Jazz for aficionados
I have the Basie and Thad Jones sets. Will get the Mobley. Found it on Amazon, one of those 4 greatest CDs for the price on one. Has Message and 2nd Messages etc.... Hank Williams Jr: I liked his Father. My country taste run towards church and gospel music. Esp Blue grass. One of my most loved Blue Grass songs is 'On The Old Kentucky Shore' sung by Joan Osborne and Ricky Skaggs. The CD is 'Ricky Skaggs & Friends Sing the Songs of Bill Monroe. I Can't find it on youtube. Here is one of my favorites I could find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdPGDBZdXuk Will give my 2cents on Basie and Jones later today. Cheers |
Frogman, as you know, that comes out every year and I usually have almost all of them that I want, (that hasn't changed) although this year has a better selection than most. When I mentioned "Stereophile" I was referring to the monthly selection of jazz albums. That's when they focus on "new" jazz as opposed to the best that's already in one's collection. Just setting the record straight. BTW, I don't have that Hank Williams Jr. either, but now that you're recommending it, I'm sure it's something special. Enjoy the music. |
Thank you for the vote of confidence O-10, but I am not sure that I am prepared to recommend the Hank Williams Jr. recording. I do like Hank Williams Jr, but make sure that you listen to it on YouTube before purchasing. I just thought that particular song was hysterical and would be right up my wife’s musical alley and her, let’s just say, unique musical tastes 🙄 The others I definitely recommend. |
