So delicious! A classic "adult contemporary" late 70s recording with true audiophile sound quality, inspiring lyrics, groovy dance beats and sophisticated jazz harmonies. #1 R&B album, #3 pop album 1979.

Listen to this record a few times (@dance SPL) and feel all your troubles melt away.  :thumb:

The other audiophile in Abilene sent his Hamton Hawe collection home with me to run through my ultrasonic cleaner.  Been doing an extended session listening about a half dozen of his lp's.  Great tuneful jazz piano... Hampton artfully improvises, but never leaves the tune in too much doubt.  I hear of lot of his sound in Oscar Peterson.

My Dad used talk about him, but I never listened to him much.  Thanks for the tip.  :thumb:

I love this Prokofiev Flute Sonata. Her circular breathing is amazing.
Piano accompaniment disappears behind her.

BIS is one of the great audiophile sound quality labels.

Persichetti is one of my favorite composers. These are the first compositions of his that I heard, back in the 80s on an easy listening type classical radio station in Boston. This is the CD they played:


I need to rerip that into my NAS so I can listen to it again. It totally blows away this stiff and mechanical performance of Mr. Lewis. But it's still nice to hear the melodies and harmonies again. This music (if you can call it that) will drive any normal audiophile out of the room in seconds, guaranteed!  Metallic twang, abundant dissonance, the endless repetitive DIN of modern atonal classical music. Ahhhhhh, so gooood..
