Andy Statman's "Old Brooklyn"
This is a really unusual album, as I expected. The scope and creativity are astounding! This isn't just a rehash of earlier Statman material; "Ocean Parkway After Dark" (with Paul Shaffer on synthesizer) will end that debate.
I can't say that I like all of the 25 tunes, and could easily edit this down to an album of my 12 favorites. However, because this album covers (and fuses) so many genres), I could see people coming up with incredibly diverse lists of their 12 favorite tunes.
For me, the tops of the top are "Ocean Parkway," "Anthem," "Shabbos Nigun," "Mah Yedidus," and "My Hollywood Girls."
