Yeah she's not a legend for nothing. I've listened to that album three times today and even though i have it on Digital HiRes, it's not a patch on this pressing. It's worth the £30 alone. If you want an example of a female singing in a decent range without screaming some of it out, this is the vocalist for me. Her and Etta James...she could sing too! |

Aretha Franklin will always be the one for me. See if you can get 'Soul '69', that's a great album. Probably available on streaming.

The one I was disappointed in missing was the Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Still.. hey ho, plenty to explore and discover. Made me think about some of the other jazz albums I have that I’ve never really touched. Tucked away with classical and compilations. So then this turned up and I thought.. bloody hell, I had it all along.  But no. It’s not the same album. Is the pic on the Ella and Louis album a photo? Because this is a picture of a painting of the picture. On the up side it’s George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. If I can get all my DIY jobs done in this next lockdown I’ll have time to explore more jazz! |

Thanks for the heads up on this deal! I got my order last week and here's what I got:
Bill Evans Trio 64
Duke Ellington Money Jungle
Louis Armstrong plays W.C. Handy
Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra
Wayne Shorter Speak no evil
Art Blakey and the jazz messengers Drum suite
Cannonball Adderley Sometnin' else
Getz/Gilberto feat Antonio Carlos Jobim
Dexter Gordon GO
Eric Dolphy Out to Lunch!
I find the quality of the pressings are really good and they sound great! For that price a no brainer. I'm not super keen on several of the records but I thought it's always good to try to broaden the horizon a bit. I do miss the Ella & Louis album that many got though.
All in all, very pleased!
