Aside from Clooney's marvelous interpretations, the Johnny Hodges solo on Strayhorn's “Passion Flower” is the best version ever recorded by anyone. Thanks for reminding me. I am playing it again, right now.anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-64582469604831531332010-08-26T20:31:14.491-07:002010-08-26T20:31:14.491-07:00You said it all.

Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour or the White Album without the album cover and all those pictures inside?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954692169914973706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-84728215073577237722010-08-26T17:55:19.853-07:002010-08-26T17:55:19.853-07:00Both my parents were musicians - both played the p...Both my parents were musicians - both played the piano, my dad played the organ as well. The difference was dad played by ear, my mom was a classical pianist and taught for pin money.<br /><br />Dad didn't buy many albums. I do remember Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and several others that caught my fancy early on. He bought the 45's in the little paper sleeves, and then played them until he knew the songs.<br /><br />My first album purchase was the Lettermen. I don't remember why except I liked their harmony.<br /><br />Rosemary Clooney did indeed have a wonderful voice. Good buy!MrCachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380421021822593083noreply@blogger.com
