Teddy Wilson Mosaic

I'm flying totally blind here! Relying totally on board members opinions on this one. Never heard any of this music before.

me too! based on this recommendation (not really :P )

The Ordered Universe of Teddy Wilson

Well, I disagree with the first reviewer, and yet at the same time I see his point. This music is so well-performed, so well-conceived, and so stylish that it can seem lackluster on a cursory listen. I see things differently though, after a lot of study of Teddy Wilson recordings. I hear the work of a master, who has diligently created an ordered musical universe where everything fits, where it was safe and warm and the sun shines. Lord knows the real world isn't this way. I enjoy stepping into this ordered, bright world of Teddy Wilson. There are excellent accompanists here for Teddy, and the sound is very good. If you like elegant piano playing, and swinging, relaxing, thoughtful music, give this set a spin. Lon Armstrong, Austin, TX

and some French baroque music:

Chambonnières, Complete Harpsichord Music (Olivier Baumont)

Louis-Claude Daquin, Complete Works (dtto)

Francois Couperin, Motets (Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques - I visited St. Gervais, the church where he worked)

Christlieb Sigmund Binder, Concerti per due cembali (Les Cyclopes)

... I could have spent a fortune on French music ...

12 new additions to my ever-growing Tete Montoliu collection (for a few of them I previously had a CDR but wanted to contribute to the Tete Montoliu estate ;) ):

-Momentos inolvidables de una vida 1965-1992 Fresh Sound Records (65-92). Bought this 2 CD compilation though I previously had almost, if not all, the material included, because it has a 24 booklet I needed to read for our discographical work (not that interesting at the end) and a complete list of releases (this was really interesting)

-Songs for love Enja 1971

-Lush life SteepleChase 1971

-Boleros Ensayo 1975

-Temas brasileños Ensayo 1973

-Temas hispanoamericanos Ensayo 1973

-Tête à Tete SteepleChase 1976

-Live at the Keystone Corner Timeless 1979

-Catalonian fire SteepleChase 1974

-Soul´s nite out Ensayo 1970 (actually, this is a Lucky T date)

-Charlie Mariano with the Tete Montoliu trio: It´s standard time vol.1 Fresh Sound Records 1989 (I hadn´t managed to get this one so far)

-Tete Montoliu interpreta a Serrat Fresh Sound Records 1969

One more step in my completist Milky Way!

(though I´m still very far from Gordokae...) :D

Oh, and don´t ask me how much some of them did cost me! <_<
