It's the eve of a new year, so I'm going to give this listening log thing a shot.
Goodfellas (Soundtrack) by Various Artists
Someone over at the Hoffman forums mentioned Stardust in a post and my brain went straight to this. Scorsese has made his bones by incorporating music into his movies, but never was the connection as strong as this iconic soundtrack. If you don't associate a pink cadillac with the outro to Layla I'm not sure we can be friends.

Is This It by The Strokes
Best album of 2001? I was 18 and listened to this pretty much constantly.

Julie Is Her Name by Julie London
This is the female Frank Sinatra and I'd never heard any of her work until tonight. The arrangements here are top notch.

What Is There To Say? by Gerry Mulligan Quartet
Keeping the late night vibes going with Gerry Mulligan's best work. I played bari sax for a few years and achieving a seamless interplay with a trumpet (the legendary Art Farmer) is no small task. The standout track to see what I'm talking about is Festive Minor. Understated muted Farmer with a walking bass line and Mulligan weaving in and out, light as a feather.

I've got 2 Julie Londons. A Greatest Hits and Around Midnight. Is Cry Me a River on any of these albums you listened to? That was her big hit, and now of course its a standard. Did you know she was the star of the 1970s TV show "Emergency"? Anyone over 40 like me knew and loved this show. Especially teenage boys. It was a long-running hit show that was on almost the entire seventies. Julie London played "Nurse Dixie". And she was still beautiful in the 70s. And her real life husband was her co-star on the show and he was also a former singer from the 50s.

Yes, it's the opening song on Julie Is Her Name. I mentioned the arrangements, but I didn't find out until after listening that it was Barney Kessel on guitar. I'm quite familiar with him from his work with Oscar Peterson and Shelly Manne. I haven't seen "Emergency" but I'll probably give it a look once we get home from our holiday trip. Thank you for the information.

Emergency is still on every fucking day. They show it on all those TV channels that play oldies TV shows. Whenever I'm home I watch it. It's about fireman and rescue workers and shit. It was all the rage in the 70s. LMAO
