Genius At Work is an album I noticed because of a sparkling
cover of the
theme
from Laura, one of my favorite noir films. Listening to
a few other tracks I know, like
Humoresque,
which I associate with the late Victor Borge during PBS pledge drives,
made me appreciate the artistry on display.
And a little investigation
left me pretty much as ignorant as when I started. A check on Amazon
revealed that this album was made in 1956 and never made the leap to
CD. Which shows there may be something to this long tail
business after all. Maybe online music sales will rescue all that
recorded music the labels in their infinite wisdom (yes, that was
sarcasm) didn't feel was worth their time. Nice to know that cheap
storage may give us back our musical heritage.
