Samples: Shelly Manne - Complete Live at the Black Hawk

That's some good stuff. I have a couple more live Manne's from the day. Terrific quintet. Another is music from the TV show at the time, Checkmate. Excellent.

Samples: Roberta Gambarini - So in Love

Down Beat (p.54) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Comfortable in any tempo, Roberta delivers a heady 'Estate' in sumptuous Italian, arresting ballads and fluent scat on 'From This Moment On'..."

JazzTimes (p.69) - "Gambarini opens with the Cole Porter title track, allowing it to unfold in slow reveal, achieving a sublime effect that suggests twinkling stars appearing one by one against a jet-black sky."
