    I agree it is a bit overlong. I go back and forth on the music. A lot of important things are communicated in the lyrics, and that sort of reinforces the artificiality of their existence. Certainly an interesting movie. I saw "The Order" last night and thought it was very good, especially Jude Law's performance as a slightly burnt out FBI agent.

    Absolutely essential, IMHO.

    I love the Anecdotes book. It has a quote from Zoot Sims about what it was like playing in Russia with Goodman. Zoot said, "Every gig with Benny is like playing in Russia." I know BG had his fans, but both Crow and Phil Woods were somewhat less than complimentary!

    Me three! I only just returned from a long overseas trip to find the box waiting for me. I've always liked Mosaic's remastering, but I have to say they've outdone themselves with this one. The sound is really wonderful!

    Ditto.

    Yes, I've read accounts of his...er...eccentricity?! He was apparently a dreadful husband. We've talked here many times about artistic geniuses who turn out to be pretty lousy human beings. All that said, "Dr. Strangelove" is a masterpiece, and Sellers is fabulous in it!

    Yes, and they're all very good!

    Saw "Conclave" last night. A bit slow, but a fine performance by Ralph Fiennes.

    He came late to the "age" of sincere standards singing, but he made a really fine career out of it. I like those Kapp records. RIP.

    He really did have a lovely voice.

    Ah, Rose Discount Records on S. Wabash. Be still my heart......

    Oddly, or maybe not so oddly? this album isn't in Lord's discography. I was curious who played trombone on the instrumentals. It doesn't sound like Dick Shearer, but I guess it could be. On a somewhat different note, I'm still exploring the later recordings of this guy

    I don't think Mosaic has much access to that catalog. If they did, I'd want that massive Gene Ammons set first!
