The Ferguson Trio. A righteous threesome for God with a honey of a hotrod and trailer. “Sing the Gospel” on Praise records. Even I’d honk for God if I passed them rolling down the interstate!

“Wein, Women & Song” George Wein Sings on Atlantic Records. George Wein is the father of the modern music festival. In 1954 he produced the first Newport Jazz Festival and a few years later the Newport Folk Festival. He also produced the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Playboy Jazz Festival and many others around the world. George started his career as a jazz pianist in Boston before founding the famed Storyville jazz club and label. He has recorded and performed with many legendary musicians mostly in the classic small band swing style. I had the honor of working with George for a few years and one of my fondest memories is being invited by George and his wife Joyce to attend Miles Davis’ 60th birthday party. But the site is about lp covers and this one makes the grade on numerous counts.

Here’s another “hall of fame” cover. A real stunner that has so much right about it. Not to mention a guy named Thip at the piano. A hot one from Ember Records.

This incredible, essential Sinatra Capitol 10″ includes “Violets for Your Furs,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “I Get a Kick Out of Your” and other “Songs For Lovers” that set the standard for standards and provided the make-out soundtrack for a generation of bobby-sockers in the fifties. Nelson Riddle conducts! This one’s for Jerry who told me about Tom Waits on stage with a mini light post.
