CD Recommendations

Dumb question, is The Baked Potato still owned by Don Randi? I remember that he did a Sheffield Lad disc and he owned the club at that time.

Frogman, I can relate. I have at times pull out a cd that I have not played in a couple of years and as I hear something new in it or just get mooved in a new way I say to myself why has it been this long.

Lev, I also like the Rippingtons and I feel that "Black Diamond" is one of their best sonically. It is well done but the older music is more to my likeing. Jeff (early member on sax ) has a couple of disc out that you my like. John Kleemer's "Touch" is very well done and never fails to 'touch' me.

On the contemperary jazz side The remastered "Take Five" of Dave's is stunning. Grover Washington done an upbeat version of "Take Five" that I really like. Incase you do not know about the label check out some disc from Concord Jazz it is very tastefully recorded!

Jon Hassell's "Fascinoma"

Lev:

Dunno whether it's "New Age" or "modern classical" or exactly where to categorize it, but check out Liz Story. Very beautiful solo piano. You can hear samples at www.cdnow.com of this and gabillions of other cds. I find it an easy way to try out new music without buying too many clinkers, and their prices are pretty good, too.
