Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Nylons version is probably a capella.

Indeed it is. Except they don't sing the words to the song, just "La la la lah"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Okay, musicistas, I need some gifting help.
I drew my uncle G. in my family's Secret Santa-type gift exchange this year, and I have no idea what to get him, besides the fact that it should be music. I know he loves jazz, and piano jazz in particular. He also really likes choral music (esp. classical or early/medieval, but I bet there's some contemporary stuff he'd like too).
So I have some idea of what he'd like, but I don't know what he has already. I'm assuming he's got the most popular & well-known examples of his favorite styles already. This is where you all come in. Anyone got any suggestions? Heard any fantastic piano-based records this year? I'm looking for recent stuff especially. If you think of something that's sort of similar, but not quite, tell me about it anyway; maybe I could introduce him to his new favorite genre! Past musical gifts he's really liked include CDs by Abdullah Ibrahim, Ney Matogrosso, and Trio Mediaeval.
Thanks in advance!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Kate, if you really want to go out on a limb, doo-wop may be worth a try. Some of the vocal arrangements can be jazz-like, and while the small group dynamic isn't the same as choral, it is a group dynamic.
The problem is, not many doo-wop groups have enough of an oeuvre to rate a Greatest Hit CD. But there are plenty of compilation CDs out there.
And doo-wop bears a passing resemblance to a lot of the vocal group pop of the early and mid '50s. Some groups worth checking out would be the Four Aces (known for "Three Coins in the Fountain," if that rings any bells), the Four Lads ("Moments to Remember"), the Chordettes ("Mr. Sandman"), the McGuire Sisters ("Sincerely"). I'm less familiar with the Four Freshmen (except "Graduation Day") but understand that they're considered a major influence on the Beach Boys, so they should also be worth checking out.
