Vic Juris - A Second Look (Mel Bay Records, 2005).  Vic Juris - guitar; Jay Anderson - bass; Tim Horner - drums; Dave Liebman - sax; Kate Baker - vocals.  When Juris is on, he's sublime.  Anyone else remember Mel Bay books?

Disc 5

That's one Mosaic set I wish I had bought.  Unfortunately, I could not afford it back in the day when it was in print and, from what I've seen online, I sure can't afford it today.

Didn't know of the existence of this till recently when a friend turned me on to it.  Now it's a favorite.

  Fun album!  I like the title track.

Now playing:

An excellent overview of the songs of Kurt Weill.  The disc kicks off with Louis Armstrong's version of "Mack The Knife" and includes several other jazz or jazz related singers:  Bing Crosby, Lee Wiley, Sarah Vaughan, June Christy, Lena Horne, Tony Bennett.  Even Benny Goodman shares the vocal chores on "Jenny" with Helen Forrest.  The lyricists who worked with Mr. Weill are quite an impressive group:  Bertholt Brecht, Ira Gershwin, Alan Jay Lerner, Ogden Nash, Langston Hughes and Maxwell Anderson.

Definitely. I remember I bought my first vinyl copy from Ronnie Scott's short lived record shop.
