I went to a Slatkin/LSO concert a few years back, primarily for the Glass Violin Concerto, and was dreading the Ives, which I didn't know (I wasn't any sort of Ives fan). But Slatkin gave a talk on what the Ives was about and when they played it, it was simply sublime. One of my favourite pieces of American classical.

I have been sent a Deluxe version which I haven't listened to or looked at properly yet. So it has either come out that way already or there is one in the offing.

As it was 46 years ago on the 12th and 13th of March that Tom Dowd started recording the tapes for this classic album.

Yep, a favorite here too. 

Tom Dowd, "The language of Music" documentary about him is a must see for every music/audio lover imo.

Thanks for posting this one Quad33. I don't have any Wayne Shorters CD's at the moment. But based on the musicians and the period, this should be an album I like. I'm going to check it out.
