Frank Sinatra/Duke Ellington - Francis A. & Edward K. (Reprise). A nice enough album, but it should have been a great one. Only one Ellington tune, and it's far from his best. It's nice to hear Johnny Hodges, Cootie Williams, and Paul Gonsalves playing the solos on a Sinatra record, though.

That's a great record to play one channel only on. Either one will do. The band is SO sloppy! But I've come to really like it...or some of it...

In the interests of full disclosure:

George Shearing - Shearing in Hi-Fi (MGM). I've expressed my reservations about George Shearing here, but I do listen to him sometimes, particularly those albums with Gary Burton in the band. And tonight I was in the mood for something kind of undemanding. About half of this 1953-54 album went too far in that direction, but about half the cuts had nice solos by Cal Tjader, Toots Thielemans, and Shearing himself. And the cover's pretty cool.
