I remembered hearing this back in the '70s but did not have a record of it and then years later I found it on the internet and bought it. Love the orchestrations. Jon was from the Barbadoes and he died several years ago.

Following his Light My Fire album which took Jazz-rock to the big band level he did Giant Steps. At the time, Woody was the only one doing this.This is an exraordinary "Big Band Jazz" album.

Well if you're gonna start naming great jazz pickers you can't leave out Johnny Smith but really when I first heard Pat in '81 and then saw him shortly after I knew he was the best and then he just got better.

The underlying reason a pilot is ultimately in charge is that they must always remember that the pilot is always the first to arrive at an accident.

"It's No Secret Anymore" is indeed a great CD.

You know, there was the Duke and the Count and on the fringe there was always Stan the great inovator, always ahead of eveyone. To the uninformed, Woody seemed to always have that "Woodchoppers Ball" stuck to his name but the Thundering Herd was the most dynamic outfit of them all. He was smart ...

I'm sure this gentleman has some true fans but really when you say guitar and Johnny Smith in the same sentence, there is is really only one and he was a true legend.

This guy was the best "picker" ever until Pat Matheny came along. Look for his album "Moonlight in Vermont" , title song is his signature piece but also on the album, Jaguar is great.

S2F's (Antisub) on the CVS-40 Tarawa and CVS39 Lake Champlain. F9F were jets.

One of my favorite Frank Sinatra "swinging" recordings .

This is one of the slowest and most beautiful recordings EVER recorded.

I once said I'd give my right arm to play like Bill Evans and then realized how stupid that would be. But it just shows you how you can get so emotional about something that you trully love that you would make some unthinking comment like that. Did anyone in music ever create such beautiful sound...

Woody hired a bunch of young turks out of the great college jazz programs and found a way to blend some of rock into big band jazz. Woody's work in the late 60's and 70's was just so dynamic. He really saved the best for last.

I too listened to this music as a teen on a boxed set of 45's . It was Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony (don't laugh, they were a great outfit). I can't find it for sale anyplace. By the way I have been a lifelong jazz fan but have also always loved David Rose, Tootie Camarata, Hugo W...

Until Pat Metheny came along I thought no one could pick like Johnny Smith. Different styles but in my mind, everyone else is tied for second.

I remembered this song for over 50 years and just a few years ago decided to look for it on Amazon, found the cd, bought it and I was back in my teens,

You have to see it in the Sonheim 80th birthday concert when his added years make the interpretation so much more meaningful. It isn't on Y-tube, you have to buy the dvd but WOW what a dvd!!!

Somewhere, for decades now, there is a guy who proudly says he performed with PMG in this concert. You can here him at the very end over the very last fading notes. Wait for it - wait for it - - there it is. YAH-HOOooooo. How I would love to be that guy.

The drummer is Paul Wertico. Pay attention- this is serious stuff!

The Bill Evans trios in all their variarions were arguablly the best jazz trios of all time. No less than Miles Davis stated he learned more from Bill than any other musician.

Don't know what it is but its not Lazy Afternoon.

Outstanding performance. Check out also the version by Chris Botti and Sting .

Love Cal, love vibes. Catch this Michelle LeGrande classic by Cris Boti and sung by Sting. Yes Sting!!!

Most exciting job in the world - working "up on the roof" - at nite!!

This is phony. A 4 second video?? No, it is just a picture and the flames were photo-shopped. A good friend was an American Airlines 767 Capt. and he checked it out. Never happened.

Might be a B-50, not many were built but most likly it's a B-29 and neither this nor the real thing had turbine engines. Early models had Wright R-3350's and later models had R-4360's. That's turbo-compound, 36 cylinders (4 rows of 9 stacked one behind the other) 72 igniters. They were the bigges...

I have always (50 + years) been a huge fan of Frank and although this is good, his is not the best rendition of this beautiful song from Legrand and the Bergmans.

Greedy? Rich? At least you get what you pay for, EVERY TIME, incredible performances from probably the greatest female pop singer ever. Now compare that to some of our so-called super star sport figures that "have a bad day!

I remember this recording and Bob. Great voice but never made it big.

I bought this LP back in the 70's for another song but this old standard has become my favorite. Not too many people know about Deodato. Our little secret, right?

I like Barbra's version but LOVE Jane Monheit's version in Portugues. Cheryl Barnes did it many years ago but I can't find it.

If you do not have the "Color Me Barbra" album, you do not have the greatest album she ever made. It was a TV Special. Imagine that!

This TV Special was filmed in a Phil. museam at nite on a weekend. Lights, camera, cables etc all had to be gone at morning. "Color Me Barbra" was the best album she ever made.

My first jazz hero back in the early 50's. A few years later walked into a bar on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ and a small group was playing some jazz. When they took a break this is what they played. Good memories all around.

Lyle Mays played with Woody. Who knew? Two of my absolute favorites and they worked together. Well Woody was known for gettin those young turks right out of school. Back then if you didn't do rock you could do jazzrock. If you were really good Stan or Woody was the place to be.

This Is Not David Bowie? Who is David Dowie

The second half of this show features performances by the "Divas In Red" and they are all great but this is the best. Watch the faces of the others in each performance. There is tru respect and admiration from one pro to another.
