Gave this CD a listen, and have to say it didn't grab me immediately...though of course that isn't always a bad thing.

A long shot, but can anyone confirm whether Avant-jazz songstress Annette Peacock (pictured below left) is also one of the women who appears on the Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland album cover (below right)? Judging by the nose, lips and cheekbones, it seems an uncanny resemblance to me. I had the pleasure of seeing her live at Ronnie Scott's around 1986, albeit less scantily clad. Aside from her interesting solo oeuvre, she made excellent contributions to albums by Bruford (1978) and Andrew Poppy (1987).

Walter Piston Second Symphony MTT and the BSO. Good, but the Gerard Schwartz/Seattle SO recording tops it

Carter: Three Occasions, Violin Concerto, Concerto for Orchestra; Ole Böhn/London Sinfonietta/KNUSSEN (EMI American Classics)
Feldman: Crippled Symmetry; California EAR Unit (BRIDGE)

... an unlikely pairing, perhaps, but one which worked remarkably effectively.
