Tide and Time - #307 Basia 1987 Epic A wonderful album of jazz and salsa. Paul Levinson, the Wm Lipton Account says
it is Portuguese influence (he called it fab – pronounced fob – that is of Port
origin) but the musical world says it is Brazilian. Full of salsa and sass. Purchased: 10/10/90 –
Columbia House $16.99 Rated: 5 |
Baroque Duet - #433 Battle K,
Marsalis W 1993 Sony Classical Great Horn, Good Singing. I am not sure that Marsalis belongs here,
in classical. He can play the music but he sounds too technical. Battle is a battle. Her opinion of herself is absolutely under
ranked by her artistry. She is good
but as good to be the diva that she tries to be Purchased: 11/9/93 –

Pet Sounds - #189 Beach Boys 1966 Capitol 1/1/66 Last of the 50’s type pop music lyrics. Listed by Entertainment Weekly as one of
100 best albums of all time. A great period
piece of the 60’s “Super Albums” produced as art by a 60’s group. Purchased: 7/23/95 –
J&R $9.99 Rated: 4 |
Symphony No. 6, Pastorale - #376 Beethoven 1965 CBS Masterwork 1/1/65 Good Beethoven, Great Bernstein. Put the two together and it doesn’t get
much better than this. Purchased: 5/1/89 –
Columbia House $12.98 Rated: 5 |
Symphony No. 9 in D minor - #336 Beethoven 1987 CBS Masterwork 1/1/61 More great music, all of the Beethoven Albums I
have are good. This one is a little older
so the technical quality is a bit less.
Still, great stuff. “Coral” is
one of my favorite classical pieces Purchased: 2/11/88 – Tower

Symphony No. 5 in C minor - #371 Beethoven
& Shubert 1981 CBS Masterwork 1/1/81 Symphony 5.
Classical collection requisite. Ranks a 5 but orchestra could be
‘fuller’. Bernstein would have made this
better. But this is really good. Purchased: 5/12/89 –
Columbia House $12.98 Rated: 5 |
Little Bit Of Mambo, A - #693 Bega, Lou 1999 RCA 8/21/99 Mambo Number 5 a monster hit. Lou better enjoy it while he can because
the rest of the music if vulgar and pedestrian Purchased: 11/1/99 –

Here’s To The Ladies - #528 Bennett,
Tony 1995 Columbia 1/1/95 Tony Bennett honors the girl singers in a guy sort
of way. Good but could be better with
arrangements that have more zest.
Have to give it a 4 because he is so good and so venerable. And too much of a good thing, if there
were fewer songs and more zest to each performance it would be swell Purchased: 4/11/96 –

Something Cool
- #257 Bentyne,
Cheryl 1992 Columbia 1/1/92 Wonderful smooth jazz from a member of the
Manhattan Transfer. I first did not
like this music now I love it. She
can weave and wear her voice as the instrument that is part of the Jazz Group
that I love the most Purchased: 1/1/92 - $14.99 Rated: 4 |
