Don Shirley: Love For Sale
Oh yeah...this is great stuff! An eight minute bit o' interpretation that really seems like pure improv. Don Shirley is one interesting character: born in Jamaica in 1927, he was taught piano by his mother, and was giving public performances when just 3 years old! Played with the Boston Pops at 18, and was later given a grant to study the relationship between juvenile crime and music. Recorded 16 albums for the Cadence label. I didn't do any processing on this track because every time I tried I ended up with digital artifacts that detracted from the beauty of the original vinyl. www.box.net/shared/0erdmdlstp
