Dalhousie; Pradesh,

1973 Elektra/Nonesuch 10/10/72

Chants and mantras.  Never time to get into yoga or Eastern Mysticism so this will have to do for an addition to my collection.  I do not want more of it.

Kind Of Blue - #229

Davis, Miles

1959 Columbia 1/1/59

One of the most re-released and popular of all Jazz albums, This is a Miles Davis signature, masterpiece, and ground breaker.  It has pleased over 3 generations of music lovers and still hits best seller lists all over the place.  Anyone who even knows what Jazz is should have this album.

Purchased: 1/1/90 - Columbia House $8.38

Rated: 5

Porgy And Bess - #232

Davis, Miles

1958 Columbia 1/1/58

I bought this after hearing "Kind Of Blue" and expected the same ground breaking excellence.  Didn't get it so I was initially disappointed.  Not now, this is Davis taking on something that is almost opera type  classical and written by a White Man, he takes it into his realm of knowledge and works it.  The opera becomes jazz for the last half of the 20th century.  I think Gershwin would have liked it.

Compara Deep Forest III- #548

Deep Forest

1997 Sony 550 Music 1/1/97

New music - something new under the sun.  This is the 3rd album of Deep Forest.  It is a mix of techno and jazz w/ sounds of other cultures, races and times.  You can dance to it and it is primitive and modern at the same time.

His 12 Greatest Hits - #346

Diamond, Neil

1984 MCA Records

This man has the voice that makes women melt and men wish they had it.  Fidelity is good for an early translation from LP to CD  He is a lounge singer for all to love.  for the generation that heard him when he was young, to follow him to even after he is in his grave.  An Elvis of the heart.

Jazz Singer, The Original Songs From The Motion- #195

Diamond, Neil

1984 Capitol 1/1/84

A really good date movie and a really good album.  The man is an American pop icon.  Good songs here show off his multitude talent.  Some could listen to him forever or some get sick of the vocal richness.  It is too good and always the same.

Purchased: 1/1/87 - J&R $14.99
