Al Haig - Parisian Thoroghfare

Of all the albums we found during our little Haig-Fest 3 years ago, I think that this was the rarest. In fact to this day I have only seen Bluebird's copy of this and no other. This music comes from the same Sept. 23, 1977 session that produced the better known "Al in Paris". On this one Haig sparkles through a lovely program of Bud Powell and classic songbook ballads caped by a surprising little Rachmaninov piece. I consider all of Haig's solo albums to be keepers but I am particularly fond of this one. Don't miss it!

A quick note about links on my posts going forward...I get the feeling that something less than positive is percolating at MediaFire -- once the fastest and most reliable it has grown increasing balky in the past few months. More concerning are the sudden new limits on the size of free accounts and even paid ones - there is no indication yet of the penalty for exceeding the new limits (which I have already done) but there is definite evidence that they have stepped up their enforcement on copyright infringements and are actively seeking and deleting links and whole accounts. I have for the time being eliminated them from my Embed Upload options while I wait to see how this shakes out this time. I am also taking a new approach to links which lapse from disuse, when they are gone they are gone, the share has run it's course and I am unlikely to do many reloads but it is still worth asking, particularly at Xanadu or Chitlins.
