Some people get the bulk of their musical entertainment from Youtube. There is some great stuff. It's interesting that these videos can remain posted.

One of my avorite tunes is "Fly me to the Moon." I was listening to some free jazz when the sax summoned his pregnant wife form the audience to sing whatever she liked. She choose to fly me to the moon. She blew the crowd away and i never heard from her again. Just as strange as I thumbed through you tube I settled on this one. Go figure.

That's one of my favorite tunes too. Frank Sinatra on the 1966 album Live at the Sands is my favorite version of it.

Unfortunately, the recordings and pressings I have aren't very good. I've got a single first pressing that is flat and undynamic. The 180gm double LP from Mobile Fidelity was half speed mastered, and it has that strange loss of "life" and PRaT that some badly done half speed mastered recordings have.

Strangely, my best copy of this is digital - the Japanese "Super High Material CD" version.

Any suggestions of a good vinyl or CD to buy will be highly appreciated!!

Here's Frank Sinatra's version.

I find youtube a great source of new music because of the suggestions that it makes - and gregadd PLUS youtube is costing me a lot of money!!

The other place I do a lot of listening at is Pandora. Now, if only Pandora and Youtube could stream high-rez

 

[Gregadd]

Time to take a break after these two.

Diana Krall: Other than the fact that she's gorgeous, a great piano player and sings with class, has nothing to offer (I am, at the moment, drooling !!)

and she puts together a helluva band. But like digital, as good as she is. she leaves me wanting. I think she has never really experienced some of the thing she sings about. Compare Billie Holiday Good Morning Heartache. or Janis Joplin- Take Another Little Piece of My heart.

I find that in the sense of putting herself into what she sings, Diane Shuur a far better singer and performer.

But the ultimate of heartache is Hello, I Must be Going with Phil Collins going through family strife and a painful divorce. I must have played it a hundred times when my fiancée left me......

Get your wallets out boys.

I agree with you, John. Greg's taste in music is, IMO, fantastic!

 

[Gregadd]

See you tommorrow.

 

[The Smokester]

Seriously. If members here have never seen Chick Corea in concert, 40 lashes! I've seen him a couple of times and he is amazing.

Chick joins Al DiMeola, Stanley Clarke, and Lenny White on Return to Forever: Live at Montreux on Blu-Ray. He has a solo turn, as well as being a charter member of that band. Great performances and sound.

That's a terrific Blu-Ray. I saw RTF many many moons ago and was glad to seem them back together.
