Title: ONE OF THE BEST JAZZ RECORDINGS EVER!
Review: Disc 2, which I knew many years ago as the "Don Shirley Trio" LP album, is incredible (which is not to slight in the least Disc 1, "Plays Love Songs"). Shirley has an inimitable style, and "Waterboy" is one of the great classics of jazz and belongs in the Jazz Hall of Fame, if it isn't there already. "This Nearly Was Mine" is one of the most poignant renditions you will ever hear -- if you've ever loved and lost, you can just feel your heart cracking on this cut (he gets you with his pauses every time). "By Myself" is another of my favorites on this album. As for Disc 1, curl up on the couch by the fire with someone you care about, and savor together the beauty of Shirley's mastery. You will never regret buying any album he's ever recorded!
