Whats on your turntable tonight?

Rushton,I have been listening to Ella doing Cole Porter the last couple nights and have to agree,sure does swing!

Prokfiev - Romeo & Juliet (complete) Maazel/Cleveland/Decca LP

Ellington - Jazz at the Plaza. I'm curious if anyone else is familiar with this astonishing series released by Columbia in the mid-70's. Apparently these were performances for Columbia record execs back in 1956 at some kind of small party. I've got another of the series, Miles Davis Vol.I with the identical cover art, and the sonics, as with the Ellington are superlative. What other LPs are in this series??

Raytheprinter, Thanks, so am I. Just got the bug for the Monk and after playing each album we just wanted to hear more. So I dug another one out. It became a late night listen. These are in beautiful shape for their age, someone took great care of them. I picked every one of them up second hand some years ago for cheap. It never ceases to amaze me how emotionally satisfying and compelling good vinyl is. Cheers!

Harp Music of the Italian Renaissance, Andrew Lawrence-King -hp (Hyperion)

Hi all. Tonight I am listening to Roy Etzel "The Silence" (Il Silenzio), It's A Beautiful Day "Marrying Maiden", and Billy Vaughn "The Shifting Whispering Sands".
Yes, Rushton, when I lived in Seattle I would occasionally watch the Mariners while the TV was on mute and listen to my music drinking Perrier water. (drink of choice at the time). I loved it. Sandra
