Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,

Tonight was old Decca recordings of shorter pieces night-
1. English String Music (including Britten's Simple Symphony)--Britten/English Chamber Orchestra. The King Super Analogue re-issue, pretty heavy in the bass but a very good recording.
2. Espana--Argento/London Symphony Orchestra
3. Rossini Overtures--Gamba/LSO
4. Hindemith-Symphonic Metamorphoses on Themes of Weber (Addabo/LSO)--one of my favorite fun pieces, sadly under-recorded.
Russ, all wonderful performances and recordings. Great choices for an evening!
Jazz tonight:

Kenny Dorham, "Whistle Stop" - Blue Note ST-84063-45 Analogue Productions 45rpm reissue

Art Pepper Quintet, "Smack Up" - Contemporary Records S7602-45 Analogue Productions 45rpm reissue
.
Nino Rota, "Concerto per archi" - I Musici, Fone 026J
(Another in the very nicely evolving series of new all analog classical music recordings from Fone Records - engaging music, nicely performed and extremely well recorded - recommended, but with a very limited pressing run this 33 rpm LP will not be available for long.)

Coltrane's "Giant Steps" in the 45rpm ORG label reissue - yes, it's very nicely mastered and pressed, and the 45rpm resolution, air and detail are a huge help in delineating everything going on in these performance. Recommended if the music suits you.
