Media Monday #5

Thank you South Carolina for your warm reception and hospitality. I enjoyed seeing many of my old friends again and making many new friends. I’m looking forward to a return visit this fall.

Once more a few recommendations this week.

First up, if you tried Sarah Jarosz and liked what you heard, give Gregory Alan Isakov a try. He has a number of albums available at the usual locations.

Next for a bit of jazz and something pretty incredible try Duke Ellington’s Far East Suite.

And for some unbelievable work on a piano, try Zhu Xiao-Mei playing Haydn Sonatas.

As usual, if you want to audition the full tracks for any of these (except Zhu Xiao-Mei), register with lala.com

Now for a bit of classical cartoon with Tom and Jerry in Cat Concerto playing Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody

And from Fantasia 2000 a bit of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite

The following is from a banned Betty Boop cartoon that features Cab Calloway’s Minnie the Moocher

The following is a very early Disney Mickey Mouse Cartoon called The Jazz Fool.

I’ll end today’s post with The Raymond Scott Quintette playing War Dance for Wooden Indians
