Today's Listen:
This has been a good Jazz week for me. All my recent purchases have been killer, and I have 'discovered' two new artist. Gregory Porter and Cecile Salvant. Both seem to be a breath of fresh air in the classic and traditional Jazz genre.
Julia Fischer -- BRUCH & DVORAK
This clip is from the Proms, but the CD has her playing the same Music with the same Orchestra, but not in front of a live audience. I love it! Why? We'll let The Frogman tell us.

Count Basie -- ATOMIC SWING
The clip is not the CD. Could not find one. But it is Basie!! The CD is very good, but does not swing as hard as this clip. The sound quality is EXCELLENT. You don't often find big band music recorded this well.
