Gun to your head,....they're taking your entire system and all LP's and CD's...but through mercy will let you keep your 3 favorite CD's or LP's. Which ones do you keep?
Schubert Quintet in C-sharp, RCA SD Ella Fitzgerald, Clap hands, here comes Charlie, VERVE Dizzie Gillespie, Swing low sweet Cadillac, Impulse ALL VINYL (but only for this second, in the meantime the selection has already changed)
My wife recent asked me for 10, and had to stop me when I reached 15, but here goes:
1. John Williams: Bach's Lute Music. To remind me of the instrument I used to play, and because it's Bach.
2. Kind of Blue. Yeah, too easy, but the combination of Davis and Evans is irresistible.
3. Blonde on Blonde. Very tough call, but it's a double album, and every minute of music counts in this miserable alternative universe you've created for us!
This last one is a keeper and a sleeper. For those who do not know Kim's work, one of the most romantic styled viola players I have ever heard. Superb tone and inflection, strong without being overpowering. Emotive without being weepy.
If catastrophe struck today, I'd take The Band - The Band; Willie Nelson - Redheaded Stranger; and one of my Lester Young albums (let me see which has the most Billie Holiday sessions on it, heh heh). By the way, none of these has great sound quality, so they should sound fine through the cactus needle - conch shell system I'd have to rig up.
