Thanks Parrot.

The mighty feathered one has just sent me Rachmaninoff's 'For a Rainy Day'. On this disc is the stunning Op. 43 'Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini' played by Vladimir Askenazy'. This piece lasts for 23 minutes 40 seconds! I have heard excerpts in the past, but I had no idea this masterpiece existed in such an extended form.

The Parrot has delivered again.

Picked up Eva Cassidy "Live at Blues Alley" and dropped it in last night. Now I know why this poor woman got such amazing critical acclaim, she deserved it! A wide ranging live show with songs running from Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" to Sting's "Field of Gold" and everything in between. All done beautifully, with excellent arrangements and backing band. American music at it's best. I would have to file this under jazz but also qualifies as American Roots music. One critic called her America's answer to Sandy Denny, which is high praise in my book as Sandy is my favorite singer, the analogy holds some water. All I can say is I will be seeking out and buying more of her music. Highly recommended.

Thanks mdeneen, I was looking for a recommendation as to which one of her cds I should pick up next, I might have to swing by J&R tonight after work. If you are a fan of the song "Over the Rainbow" check out the version by Zoot Sims on his album The Zoot Sims Four-The Innocent Years, (Pablo # 2310-872), a fantastic straight ahead jazz version, by my favorite sax player.
