10 Must-Have Albums...

[Auricauricle]

Sure, I'll play...

In no particular order, I will go for:

10) Brand-X: Moroccon Roll. Great extemporization and passion. Much nonsense and consequence. I love every minute of it!

9) Beethoven: Symphony 9. God, Beethoven and me on a mountain top. I'm there!

8) Orff: Carmina Burana. The flesh is spirit, the spirit flesh. Where's my sandwich?

7) Freddy Hubbard: First Light. M-m-m! Oh, yeah....

6) Miles Davis: Simply Blue. A perfect jazz session if there was one! Spoooooky!

5) Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon. The apex.

4) Beethoven: Piano Concerto no. 5 (The Emperor [V. Ashkenazi]) It's all there.

3) Offenbach: The Tales of Hoffman (Beverly Sills et al.) We humans!

2) Vangelis: China. Ahh, the Tao...The Himalayas...I'm there....

1) Roger Daltry: Live at Carneigie Hall. Sometimes, you just have to rock and roll....
