aworks ordered list :: top five for today /apparition/

1. Up on Teddy's Hill. Charlie Christian
2. North By Northwest. Bernard Herrmann
3. Apparition. George Crumb. Jan DeGaetini / Christine Schäfer
4. African-American Fragments. Frank Proto
5. Criss Cross. Thelonious Monk

Charlie Christian's early electric guitar remains a personal favorite...as does the soundtrack to North by Northwest...George Crumb's Apparition intrigues the more I listen to the two versions I have....The text of African-American Fragments is interesting and the music may be even better...Criss Cross is yet another genius work by Monk.
