Herwig's latinized treatment of these great players have all been very well done. For some reason, he chose to do this with Coltrane twice. I actually prefer the first one over this one:

Thanks I'll have to listen to this one too. I think Herwig is an outstanding trombonist.

Jack Teagarden – Think Well Of Me (Verve, 1962)

A "with strings" record, without nearly enough trombone, but still. What a great record. I only discovered Teagarden last year and already find it hard to imagine living without his cracked vocals.

I would have thought it would be the reverse.

RE: Tone Poet LPs... With more & more listening, I've switched my opinion on that.... I used to think that these Tone Poets were giving us this great music in the best sound ever. But then I got a few "duds" and realized that those old CDs sound pretty damn good. In fact, I bet if you EQ'ed the CD version and boosted the bass, you'd probably find yourself wondering if that's all they did with these LPs.

The Stick Up Tone Poet sounds a tad dull and similar to the Connoisseur CD from 1997.  I just assumed that was how it was recorded.  I got the BN Works version a couple of weeks ago and it sounds the best to me.  Could just be that it works best with my system.

Which ones did you think were bad. I haven’t purchased any in a long time because I didn’t see the point of replicating what I have in cd.

I was just streaming it via YouTube -- but, at some point, I intend to order the CD from PM Records because I dig the music so much.

A blast from the past, rejuvenated.

Jethro Tull “Thick as a Brick” cd/dvd Steven Wilson edition

Benefit/Aqualung/Thick as a Brick is a trifecta of Tull for me.

Lorez is wonderful.  I suppose most listeners who enjoy jazz singing are familiar with Alexandria the Great -- but I bet far fewer are aware of Harlem Butterfly.  It's a gem!  I only discovered it in the last year or two.
