So, having had my head soundly battered I needed some time to recover...:) !!
Thanks for those references Dermot.
I must admit I was not aware if that website, doing my shopping exclusively on Amazon.
Those recordings seem to be available only on vinyl. I would like to experiment with that format for sure, but don't have the appetite for the investment of time or money to switch over. After my last bout of upgraditis and the crap I had to put up with before I got sorted, I promised myself 'never again'!!![/quote]
Ouch! That sounds painful! Not worth pursuing if you're happy with what you have.
Anyway you will get over your experience.....eventually. Best of luck with your search.

Yes, I love this and just in the last days had it out for a listen after forgetting about it for quite a while. can you point me in the direction of similar recordings??
It's a pretty unique record in many ways but in a similar mood, you could try:
Bill Frisell - The Sweetest Punch - arrangements of the Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach record, Painted from memory
Bill Frisell - Big Sur - great slice of Americana
Pat Metheny - One Quiet Night - solo acoustic
John Scofield - Quiet
Marc Johnson - Swept Away
And the song - Is This America? from Rambling Boy by Charlie Haden
Hope this helps.
Mark.
Thanks Markoff,
I have gotten hold of all except The Sweetest Punch so far. They are all in my current listening stack as I get to know them better.....my initial experience of all is very positive with the Metheney and Marc Jonson selections probably more immediately appealing.

Art Pepper/George Cables: Goin' Home & Tête-À-Tête ( the great man's swansong with his favoured accompanist of his final years)
Gary Peacock/Ralph Towner: A Closer View
Gary Peacock/Marc Copland: Insight
Marc Copland/John Abercrombie: Speak To Me
Thanks MCQ. Again all new to me, so a nice listening project for the while
Thanks again mcq.
All winners in that list and opened up some new horizons for me.
Take a bow lads!!! :)
