The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz - 6LP boxed set (although mine, which I picked up at a church rummage sale, is missing one LP), released in '73. Covers everything from Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton to Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor. Great 46-page illustrated booklet by Martin Williams.

Yep, it would be nice to have that other LP, since it includes Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Bud Powell, but for five bucks I can't complain. The records are in excellent shape, the booklet is great reading, and the music is fantastic. :music:

As Time Goes By and other Classic Movie Love Songs -- CD-- Dolby Surround(?)

Henry Mancini and The Mancini Pops Orchestra

1992 RCA Victor

The Mancini Touch Lives On As Time Goes By January 16, 2006
By Rebecca*rhapsodyinblue* VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD

Henry Mancini was one of the legendary musical icons in the history of pop music. He had created countless of beautiful melodies to last for a lifetime of listening enjoyment. I believe that he had accomplished the ultimate goals in his career: fame, recognition, achievements, respect, awards and great tributes after his death.

In this recording, Mr. Mancini conducted The Mancini Pops Orchestra and arranged all the tracks and he also played solo piano on some of the tunes. This CD is a collection of theme songs from fifteen motion picture films from 1930s through 1990s.

The prototypical movie love song, "As Time Goes By," welcomes the listeners with its grand arrangement and its melancholic music. Herman Hupfield composed it in 1931 for a Broadway show "Everybody's Welcome," and in 1942, it was incorporated in the musical score of "Casablanca."

You'll be mesmerized by the classical-flavored and marvelous arrangement of "Stella By Starlight," a hauntingly beautiful gem from Victor Young and Ned Washington. This is my top favorite. It's so enchanting and I could listen to it endlessly.

"Unchained Melody," "Mona Lisa," "Two For The Road" and a medley of "Call Me Irresponsible/The Second Time Around" will leave the listeners in a relaxed mood. These tunes have that calming effect that would soothe your cares away. It's just perfect for relaxation and unwinding after a busy day at work, or just background music for a cozy home-cooked-dinner with the company of dear friends.

"The Summer Knows" is also one fabulous track from the movie "Summer of '42," a movie about the pain of a romance that was lost and its haunting memories. The musical score by Michel Legrand won the Oscar for Best Original Score in 1971.

I had a great and enjoyable listening experience with this CD. I wholeheartedly recommend it. You'll enjoy listening to it, too.
