Night Lights is a gorgeous album.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though? I had two Mulligan albums at hand as a kid, the CBS What Is There To Say? and a Crown item that might or might not've been a pirate, with such Mexican songs as "Alla en el rancho grande" played very well indeed. When I started buying Mulligan albums as a teen, I was able to find Night Lights as a Japanese import at rather good price (probably a cut-out, but I don't have quick access to it to see at the moment). As always, good to hear from you, Jim.
ReplyDeleteMan, you really put up some good things this time, Todd. I like that Mulligan album too, and the Jazz 625 queues. Also, of course, the Art Farmer.
ReplyDeleteYes, Richard, and thanks...I was actually swinging for some fences, and the JAZZ 625 episodes were either back up or hard to resist (well, both, in most cases). The slightest thing here is exceedingly pleasant, by me...glad you like 'em, too.
ReplyDeleteHope you see this, Todd. Can you include me in your Tuesday's Overlooked A/V post? I have a review of Altman's That Cold Day in the Park. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI planned to all along, John. Thanks!
