What's Spinning Tonight?

I picked this up new five years ago at the time of its release. The 1/4” mono recording was made, mixed and mastered by Rudy Van Gelder on June 24, 1964. Side men are McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Jimmy Garrison. It’s a nice find for Ravi Coltrane … mining for gold. I’d buy it again.
 
Listening to Tchaikovsky’s glorious Symphony No 5 in full multichannel SACD. God almighty, could anyone write a melody as beautiful as the slow movement in this symphony? The Philadelphia Orchestra under conductor Christoph Eschenbach gives a glorious reading of this warhorse, and the Ondine recording is first class. The brass, which there is a lot of, sounds golden and just so right.

This one is live in Montreal recorded on November 24, 1980. The record was resurrected in 2016. FWIW, I saw Dizzy live in 1976. Those cheeks are incredible. And, of course, his signature up tilt bell.
