Pepper- So In Love (Artists House).

About Artists House,Its a shame they went out of business. They were owned by the artists that performed for them.

Took a flyer on this one from Acoustics Sounds--they had a $10 sale on this copy with a damaged cover and I couldn't refuse. Interesting that they now have it listed for $55.

Elio Villafranca and Charles Flores
Dynamic Resolution
1/2-speed mastered, minimally mic'd
Stereo version

Not exactly my cup of tea, but it is growing on me as I listen to it. I'd hoped for a bit more Cuban flavor from the Cuban-born pianist. Not sure how much play time it will get, but I can't help swinging for the fences

Jazzguy,
I'm with you on that one! While I've read about constrained and nervous recordings, I haven't heard anything yet that doesn't sound phenomenal.
