Yes he does, a case of "more is less" imoOriginally Posted by Barry
Anita told me the other day that she quite likes some jazz, and particularly saxophone. I don't have that many jazz records, and my first thought was Wayne Shorter, so...
Right now it's this. Can't go wrong with this one

Some more people celebrating (or would be celebrating) their 100th birthday:
Sir David Attenborough
Queen Elizabeth II
Mel Brooks
Marilyn Monroe
Tony Bennett
George Martin
Chuck Berry
Fidel Castro
Hugh Hefner
I think only Sir David and Mel Brooks are still with us.
Anyway, giving this a go. Just a budget price 'best of', but it's the only other CD I've got. I also have Tutu and Bitches Brew, but they're on vinyl, and I'm being lazy.

I seem to be increasingly drawn towards late 60s what I might describe as "easy listening" lately, including some Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood... maybe it's my age?Good one there Steve.
Earlier this week I had Paul Mauriat's version of "L'amour est Bleu" earworming my head for two days, and today it was something on the radio that I've heard before but can't identify, sounds Brazilian I think. That's going to bug me until I find out what it was! Where will it end?

Ìf you like Brazilian jazz, then you might like 'The Essential Astrud Gilberto' (Verve VRV 6, 1965)
Astrud Gilberto was the one time husband of Joao Gilberto, and is famous for the song 'The Girl from Ipanema'; which you might find to be an "ear-worm".
Label: Polydor – 823 494-1, Verve Records – VRV 6
Released: 1965
Genre: Jazz
Style: Bossa Nova

Which is the opening song on that Getz/Giberto record, and briefly at the end, sung by Astrud.

There's probably a version of 'The Girl From Ipanema' on every fifth jazz record.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > Troels Gravesen Faital 3WC-15.
