"This I Dig Of You"—one of the most fun tunes I've ever played! Especially when you have a really good rhythm section like I did when I played it recently. And I will go absolutely nuts and play this thing to death!

If you dig Hank Mobley, I recommend checking out this insane matchup...it's the hard bop equivalent of the Million Dollar Quartet!

What, are you turning your back on the Baroque and going all neo-Romantic on us?
;-)
OMG, I love this!! I've never heard "All the Things You Are" going into Latin on the bridge, that's so cool!If you dig Hank Mobley, I recommend checking out this insane matchup...it's the hard bop equivalent of the Million Dollar Quartet!

There are nights when nothing but a prolonged bout of neo-Romantic music will suffice.
Anyway, the Moldau is magnificent.....

If ya like arrangements that use Latin rhythms to set stuff up, here's another Blue Note record for you (assuming you don't already know about it since Sonny Clark is a pianist):

A teaser for the recently released album Jarak Qaribak from Israeli musician Dudu Tassa and English guitarist Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead). Time to explore new horizons...
If that record makes you want to check out more Mizrahi music, here are some artists I like:
Origins: Zohar Argov (from when Israeli Mizrahi music was a cassette-based fringe music only sold at bus stations)
80's-90's: Ofra Haza (Yemenite Songs, the global breakout)
Modern: A-Wa (Habib Galbi, the other Haim sisters, ha)
@rm5: Have you ever listenened to Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"?
And, more relevantly, have you ever listened to any of the modern (including jazz) re-imaginings - some of them are brilliant - of this (timeless, yes, Baroque) work?
My father - who loved music - he started with a love of jazz but (partly, under my mother's influence) graduated to a love of classical music as well - had an LP - actually, a double LP - (yes, this goes back) of the Four Seasons, with, on one side, a recording of the originals, and, on the other, an imagined modern (jazz influenced) re-interpretation of the same music.

The Stranglers:
Peaches; No More Heroes; Waltzinblack; La Folie; Strange Little Girl; Golden Brown; and Cruel Garden.

No, I haven't, but I'd love to! I did however sing Vivaldi's rendition of "Gloria in Excelsis" with the school choir once, accompanied by the orchestra, which was a lot of fun (but very tiring!)
I need to check out some of those jazz arrangements of classical pieces, too. I've done a few myself, including an arrangement of Beethoven's "Six Variations" which I adapted for a group and played on one of my recent gigs, it was a lot of fun!
@Scepticalscribe speaking of classical music, guess what appeared in the "recommended" section on YouTube?
Thank you for this link; much appreciated.
On the topic of Ravel, my father absolutely adored (he even had it on tape - which he could play in his car, ah, endlessly, on his tape deck - this was before CDs appeared, yes, quite some time ago, but a time when being able to play tape cassettes in cars was considered cutting edge modernity) - and this is something I share, as, every time I play it, I still think of him, for, he introduced me to this piece - Ravel's Bolero.
Seriously: Listen to the Bolero (by Ravel).
Brilliant.
Haunting.
Unforgettable.
Re Debussy:
Clair de Lune is incredible, as is Rêverie.
And, my mother loved The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns.
