Title: unique yet universal
Review: What strikes me as interesting is the universal chord Don Shirley's music has struck among his fans. Once you've heard him, there's no going back and there's no one like him. I was introduced to his music in the mid-60s, bought most of the "black(Cadence)" albums, memorized them. Then lost use of the player. A friend painstakingly taped all of them for me, then he discovered the "Golden Classics" CD which I bought for myself, another friend who'd met Shirley, and my father. I was priviliged to hear Shirley and the Trio in person in the mid-70s; my second best birthday gift. The thought that more CDs could be released is sheer heaven. I don't use this term lightly, but Don Shirley is as close to genius as it comes.
