For those of us old enough that the tactility of a real copy matters: The double album on vinyl is lovely. Even the texture of the sleeve seems to have been thought out - it is a heavily textured matte surface that screams 'you are holding a work of art.' The presentation is flawless. Well worth the...

Wow, what I've heard is amazing so far... ...I'll stump for my daughter's album, which also has two Leonard tracks on it but is mostly an amateur jazz album... "Here It Is" is a wonderful album, isn't it -- terrific all 'round! I'd love for Blue Note to do another volume of Leonard's song...

Wow, what I've head is amazing so far. The Norah Jones track has brought me close to tears. For those who claim to not like Jazz: I view each genre of music like a language to learn. About 15 years ago I decided to conquer Jazz, and I did so. I can't imagine a life without it now. (Currently I'm eng...

I'll leave you with one other (paraphrased) quote: "You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts." It's a vast oversimplification of course, because our best-known facts DO change over time (dinosaurs = birds) since a key necessary function of the scien...

check out this resource: https://iep.utm.edu/fallacy/ If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never take Philosophy of Logic courses is my advice! I do love a good argument, but I get bored by people who insist in holding patently incorrect views. In such a situation, especially if my wi...

i just have opinions sometimes. If the data is reliable, even a majority opinion may not be accurate. Many on this Forum might suggest that LC is the finest song writer of the past 2 centuries and the best interpreter of his own songs, but I doubt that the rest of the world's population would agree...

Oh, wow!

OK, this is now up for purchase digitally as a full album as well as CD. Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc. etc. Standout tracks are the Leonard tracks, so hopefully you'll give them a try. If you want to listen here is the auto-generated YouTube for the album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr8T29...

The CD has been produced and album release date is 4/30/21. If things go correctly Take This Waltz will be available on iTunes before this time. (Album will be available digitally on all major platforms as well on the release date.) For those who want to know more, the vocalist has had 2 Leonard cov...

I checked out the YouTube of the full concert and it's really interesting overall. Sometimes covers hit the mark and sometimes they don't. I have a very hard time with covers that seem to lose the essence of the original work; I'll never like the way their facial expressions seem to be be making lig...

Two Leonard tracks on the album among a bunch of old Jazz standards and a single original track (but the whole project fits together pretty well due to arrangements by Michael Kelsey). We do feel that two of the standout tracks are Take This Waltz and Everybody Knows. We think Leonard fans will enjo...

This project is complete and in production. Plan is to release "Take This Waltz" a couple weeks in advance on iTunes, if the project clears final process on time. Here is the finalized art (track list and a bit more info in following post).

I've now plowed through every one of her novels and I'm pretty sure there is at least a passing nod to Leonard in each of them. Also, something in her style oozes a certain Leonard vibe. I don't know how else to put it; imagine if style of Beautiful Losers was tempered through the lens of just-sligh...

EDIT: Makes sense to put this in the first post I suppose: Newly released covers of Take This Waltz and Everybody Knows. We very much hope you enjoy this. My daughter is the vocalist and is largely responsible for the creative direction of the entire project. Pre-release is available to purchase on...

In addition to the soundtrack there are other LC easter eggs in the show... So don't just listen, keep your eyes open! (Again, don't want to spoil it until asked, although I probably won't remember all of them at this point, and suspect that I didn't catch all them that might be there anyway.)
