Although I have taken a break from blogging for a few weeks, I have kept busy responding to requests for reuploads of some older items.
Here is a compilation of what I have been up to. These are all remastered, except for the Danny Kaye, Dennis Day and Honegger records. As always, the remastered material is far superior in sound to the original versions. Links are in the comments to this post.
Diana Lynn - Piano Moods and Piano Portraits. Two charming, if somewhat overlapping albums from the 40s actor/pianist. Remastered from the mp3 files.
Jerry Gray - A Tribute to Glenn Miller. The former Miller arranger's attempt to cash in on the popular 1954 biopic, The Glenn Miller Story.
Jerry Gray - Hi-Fi Shades of Gray. Very early stereo recordings from the Gray band, now excellent sounding in lossless format.
Danny Kaye - Gilbert and Sullivan. The comic singer takes on G&S in this early LP. (mp3)
Ezio Pinza - Sings Enchanted Melodies. One of Pinza's many attempts at crossover material, several of which have appeared here. These are 1940s sides made for Columbia.
Gisele MacKenzie - Orchids from Gisele and self-titled EP. The pop singer's most unusual LP - a compilation of early Capitol singles issued as a promo in her native Canada - and an EP of cover songs on RCA's budget label.
Leopold Stokowski - Music for Easter. Although I am not a Stoki fan, he has somehow appeared on this blog several times. Here are Philadelphia recordings of Parsifal excerpts and the Russian Easter Overture.
Dennis Day - My Wild Irish Rose. RCA had the popular tenor (and Jack Benny associate) record the songs from the 1947 film, My Wild Irish Rose, for this set, originally on 78.
Paul Weston - Music for Easy Listening. One of Weston's many LPs for Capitol, made when he was the music director there.
George Greeley - Piano Demitasse. Greeley was a pianist of great taste and technique, very active in Hollywood as both instrumentalist and arranger. This is an early Capitol LP.
Honegger - Jeanne d'Arc au Bûcher. This 1952 Philadelphia recording under Ormandy was a contribution from our friend Joe Serraglio.

Good to see you're staying busy, Buster. Thanks for the great music!
Thanks so much for these milestone reposts.
I am so very happy to get that Paul Weston and the George Greeley.
Thank you, Buster.
A truly remarkable collection. Thanks for all your hard work.
Some time ago you blogged Neal Hefti "Irish Stew".
I now have the full LP. If you would like a remastered CD of that LP let me know.

thanks for this batch, Buster. I am especially eager to listen to the Jerry Gray's
Hi Buster;
Excited about the Jerry Grays...and especially about Dennis Day's Wild Irish Rose album, cos that is my perennial St. Paddy's Day music! I rely on the old cassette, but no longer, thanks to your kindness:)
All the best,

Thanks for your great work, any chance of re-upping Juliette Greco?
Richard - Yes, I can do that. Might take a few days.
