That is such an amazing album. Among his best, surely.
Between the Wars was the album that addicted me to Al. I must have played it a couple time a week for several years. Literally. During that time, I went back over his catalog, and I was shocked at how fresh and compelling it all sounded. In 2000, 2005 and 2008, Al released excellent new material. The hardest thing for me is learning from his entourage that he has written much fabulous new music that I will probably never hear!
But, on Saturday, I am actually going to see an Al show at the Colonial in Phoenixville, Pa, with my brother Ron and his wife and a few of their friends. Very excited!
