Yesterday I got the special favour from my friend to accompany me to Tower Records at KLCC to select some 'easy listening' music. He knows I like jazz and straight away we went into the Jazz Section of the music mega store. Sadly, I could not get a copy of A Kind of Blue-SOLD OUT:-(
According to Bob,the supervisor, there are three hot albums now but all sold out as soon as they arrive at the shop. The three are A Kind of Blue, Time Out and When Harry met Sally sountrack. Do you know any where else I could lay my hands on these CD's?
Special Notice to those who love writing in their diaries/journals:
My friends and I are organising a get together for moleskine notebook owners/users this Saturday 2/12/2006 at Starbuck Coffee at KL Sentral from 2pm onwards. This meeting is to share our knowledge/experience in writing journals and any other matters of mutual interests. Anyone of you are welcome to join the conversations irrespective whether you are writing journals (not necessarily using moleskine) or not. No entrance fees.
These are believed to be the three best selling Jazz Albums of all time.
"Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis is certainly an exceptional album. I am enjoying to it now after reading your blog. Not to be missed.
I find "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck interesting enough and pleasant enough listening.
I've never really listened to Harry Connick Jr so I can't comment on his "When Harry Met Sally" album, Not "in my bag" as 60s jazzers would have said.

Thank you for the recommendation. I just bought Diana Krall, contemporary but there's enough swing in her latest to make the music upbeat.

I've remembered two more Jazz albums that you should try to listen too:
"Mingus Ah Um" by Charles Mingus
&
"Roots Revisited" by Maceo Parker
