June Christy "The Misty Miss Christy" Capitol cd

I love the tone and texture of June's voice, it reminds me of someone I love very much, though the phrasing is different. This is one I haven't played in a while, pulled down from the shelf with some others of hers to play in the next few days. I have wondered what Thelonious Monk would think of her version of "Round Midnight" here--it's not very Monkian, but she does it justice, with its full orchestra and wistful sound.
Followed by
"Classic Jazz at the Philharmonic Jam Sessions (1950-1957)" Mosaic Records, disc IV

From cool Christy to some hot jams.
I'm so glad that after years of tweaking and getting fine components my system is so good that I just revel in music. Thank the universe for the gift of MUSIC!
