3.Swinging on a Star by: Original Musical Revue May 21, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.43
As a musical theatre performer who has made it a point to listen to all new musicals, this show is a perfect example of what brought Broadway to the top. With superb voices, an eclectic mix of styles and a unique flair for comedy, this show is worth buying for even the most novice of audiences.

4.Gershwin: Porgy And Bess from: Polygram Records October 25, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $12.87
I've heard many versions of this work, but this Grammy-award winning recording (1976 Best Opera Recording) stands out as having the best performances. Francois Clemens (from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood!) shows some real chops as Sportin' Life (hitting all the high notes), and Florence Quivar sings the BEST "My Man's Gone Now" ever recorded, not being afraid to drop to her chest voice for intense dramatic effect. Maazel brings out all the sparkle in Gershwin's long orchestral sequences. I've had this on LP for years, and finally found a used library CD. It's the only Porgy I can really listen to - the others pale in comparison.

8.Stompin' at Mother Blues by: J.B. Hutto December 14, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $11.76
This 2004 CD brings together two sessions recorded by J.B. Hutto in 1966 and 1972 respectively (and only the first one is taped at "Mother Blues", a now-defunct Chicago blues club). It is not a live album, despite the title; rather it is an interesting collection of mostly unreleased material. Only "Hawk Squat" and "Love Retirement" have been available before the release of this album, but "Stompin' at Mother Blues" is not a bunch of third-rate scrapings from the bottom of the barrel...there are several fine moments here, and Hutto's ragged, explosive slide runs are as gritty as ever. "Stompin'" mixes up-tempo rockers with slow, smouldering blues, and the highlights include "Evening Train", the mid-tempo grind of "Ain't It A Cryin' Shame", a driving "When I Get Drunk", and ...
