Don Sebesky's "Giant Box". ALL THE CTI folks. Two record set, Recorded in 1973. Almost impossible to find sealed. Paid a pretty penny for my last one. Players include: Herbert Laws, Freddie Hubbard, Paul Desmond, Ron Carter, Billy Cobham, Jackie Can, Roy Kral, Joe Farrell, Grover Washington, Jr., George Benson, Airto, Milt Jackson, this is a record of the Gods. I've owned several copies of this recording dating back to the original purchase in 1977. If you get a chance, listen to it on CD, and then begin the search for the vinyl because you absolutely must possess this.
What are the treasures in your vinyl library?
They don't have to be the collector's items, necessarily. I'm just asking, what is your short list of LPs in your personal library that you prize the most (maximum 5)?
I'll start:
Diana Krall: "From This Moment On" from Classic Records, mastered on a tube cutter
Buddy Rich: "Class of '78", Direct-to-disk recording of my favorite drummer leading the best incarnation of his band
Muddy Waters: "Folk Singer", not MFSL or German pressing or original pressing or anything fancy, just a Chess/MCA 1987 reissue LP that puts you in the room with Muddy
I also have a 35mm Everest recording of Mozart woodwind sonatas that I picked up at St. Vincent DePaul for $1. It's old and a little ragged, but that 35mm mag tape really puts the players right there in the living room.
