I enjoy listening to Bach but my small collection of classical music is almost entirely on CD, unlike everything else which is mostly on vinyl. My mother used to send me classical music CDs for my birthday and she always seemed to choose well. I wouldn't wish to be without The Goldberg variations.
The 3 record box set of 6 suites for solo cello that I sold for almost £100 was a 1981 Hungaroton recording of Miklós Perényi that I picked up from a second hand book stall in Budapest for about £5. I can buy lots of music that I'll listen to for that kind of money.
Must say that I enjoyed side 1 of "Live At The Village Vanguard Again" last night, that version of Naima is really very accessible. Favourite Things on side 2 will take a bit longer before I find that new approach. But I'm confident that I will find it eventually. Unlike Miles Davis - I tried and tried and tried with "In A Silent Way" and it isn't so much that I don't like it, more a case of I actively dislike it.
I'm still on the look out for a copy of "Someday My Prince Will Come".

Some great jazz here from 1981.
Tõnu Naissoo Trio - Turning Point. Released in 1981. Tõnu Naissoo reminds me a little of Chick Corea.

I like what I'm hearing, although I can't say I'm a big Chick fan. Interesting to see this was released as a 10" in Russia and is apparently collectible. Doubt I'll ever run across this one while digging.

<...> I also have a copy of Evan Parker's Walthamstow Moon on order and I haven't a clue what to expect but I think I have you to thank for me taking a chance with him. I'll let you know what I make of it after it arrives. Sztiv, I commented on WALTHAMSTOW MOON immediately after your post and I felt compelled to return to this and admit how hasty and ill-informed my judgement was. I've just finished listening to the LP and it is marvellous. A quiet, thoughtful hushed subtle meeting of great improv minds. I think I made the absurd mistake of forgetting to listen to it as an overall soundscape rather than as a bass guitar trio. Listened to in the round, as it were, it's the whole sound that becomes important - and who is making what sound and how becomes of less significance. anyway, I hope you are enjoying it too - I'm delighted that I bought this. A limited run of 300 copies won't last long - not that anyone will care, but I think it's a lovely thing to have.
