A great collection of French material from both players – originally recorded for 78s on the Swing label, and a key early example of the strong treatment American musicians received in Paris! LP, Vinyl record album
Obscure work from Gerry Mulligan – and some of his best of the 70s! The record is a soundtrack for a French film starring Yves Montand, and the soundtrack was handled by Mulligan with assistance from Don Elliott – who brings in a funky style that's quite different than you'd expect from most of Gerry's work. Mulligan's horn sounds really great in these arrangements – strutting out nicely on the funky tracks, and kicking back with a cool sound on the mellower ones. Titles include "Trucking Again", "The Trap", "Dance Of The Truck", "Watching & Waiting", and "Theme From La Menace". LP, Vinyl record album
(80s issue on DRG, still sealed with Priceless Collection sticker.)
Sensitive scoring by Philippe Sarde – one of his soundtracks for director Bernard Tavernier, for a film based on the Jim Thompson novel Pop 1280! One track features a vocal by Stephane Audran – another by the lovely Isabelle Huppert! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has one slightly bumped corner, but is nice overall.)

Tony Bennett & Bill Evans —
Together Again ... LP DRG, 1976. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
A great second pairing of this hip team – further proof that Tony Bennett was a hell of a jazz singer when he wanted to be! Titles include "You're Nearer", "Lonely Girl", "You Must Believe In Spring", "Two Lonely People", and "The Bad & The Beautiful". LP, Vinyl record album
Double LP compilation of two albums that she originally recorded for Verve – Blossom Sings Broadway & Blossom Dearie Sings Comden and Green. Two great albums, and almost impossible to find in the original. Blossom at her best, with tight jazzy backing that's never as drippy as the later cocktail-ish arrangements that mar some of her records. Showtunes, but done in the great breathy Blossom style, with a nice jazzy edge to them. LP, Vinyl record album
Features selections by Willie Mae Ford Smith, Thomas A Dorsey, Delois Barrett Campbell & The Barrett Sisters, The O'Neal Twins, and Zella Jackson Price. LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed. Cover is bent at the top left corner.)

Georges Delerue —
Silkwood ... LP DRG, 1984. Sealed ...
Out Of Stock
A really amazing set of recordings – vocal sessions done by Fred Astaire in the later season of his career – recorded in the studio with intimate backing by a Verve group that includes Oscar Peterson, Barney Kessel, Charlie Shavers, and Flip Phillips! The material features lovely new interpretations of tunes made famous by Astaire in films, but offered here in a much more relaxed, jazz-based mode. And whether you're a fan of his films or not, Astaire is one heck of a great singer – and hearing him in a setting like this, without the distraction of dancing or film, is really great proof of that fact! Titles include "Cheek To Cheek", "S'Wonderful", "You're Easy To Dance With", "Fascinating Rhythm", "Top Hat White Tie & Tails", "No Strings", and "I Concentrate On You" – plus a few instrumental numbers by the combo. LP, Vinyl record album
(Late 70s white label DRG pressing. Includes the booklet. Box has light aging.)
