594 & CU24
The man was masterful, he could switch from style to style, and still have those crazy lyrical melodies in all of them.
Totally, sheer genius. I was immediately hooked. Perfect segue for another random fact:
The Blues Brothers did it to me, indirectly. Their Peter Gunn cover got me listening to the original series score, which in turn got my dad's attention. Little did I know he had a bunch of HM records, and he told me "if you like that, you'll probably love these". Nailed it. He turned me on to everything from Gilbert & Sullivan to Cole Porter to Billie Holiday. Even old Xavier Cugat recordings on 78. That sort of exposure really opened up my ears as a kid, and I'm grateful.
