Samara Lubelski - The Fleeting Skies - (DeStijl)

Nice.

You going to the Daniel Higgs show? Recommended.

No, I was at the first rehearsal for Cardew's The Great Learning. More details to follow.

Saw Higgs a few years ago and it was solid if not mind-melting.

Here's his website. It appears to be in German: http://www.richiebeirach.com/

According to All About Jazz: Since 2000, Richie Beirach lives in Leipzig and holds a professorship for Jazz piano at the Leipzig conservatory “Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy”.

'Sonny Rollins Vol 1' (Music Matters 2x45rpm, mono)

[jeffcrom]

Band Concert* by American Symphonic Band of the Air conducted by William Revelli (Decca). A mid-fifties recording of impeccably played band music conducted by one of the great bandmasters of the mid 20th century. I almost put this in the classical thread, but about half the program consists of marches or what would be called "light music" in Britain. There's a great performance of a band transcription of the "Overture to Beatrice and Benedict" by Berlioz. And "Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" is one of Sousa's more interesting marches.

*Did someone at Decca really get paid for coming up with this title?

Later: A quick Google search revealed that Francisco Cavez's "Tamboo" from this album was released as a single and seems to have something of a reputation among "Exotica" collectors.

That's right up my alley!

NP: Sinatra - Only the Lonely - Capitol (UK mono rainbow).

The real mono recording, not a fold-down, as was sometimes the case in the UK with US albums.

Sounds so much better in mono, an upgrade from my previous copy.
