Wonderful selection of tunes, too. Lovely! Surely Oscarphobes can accept this one!

The cover I first knew it in.

Thanks! I was rather ashamed to have seen only four (Ellington, Basie, Gillespie, Evans) from my giants list. Now I can add another five (Shaw, Tolliver, Harper, Tyner, Cowell), making a far more respectable "seen" list.

Which jazz giants emerged in the seventies?( I mean people comparable in individual achievement and influence on subsequent musicians as Armstrong, Ellington, Basie, Hawkins, Lester, Parker, Gillespie, Powell, Monk, Miles, Rollins, Evans, Coltrane and Ornette - all of whom emerged before the seventies.)

Andrea Pozza plays quite often here - at private sessions at my friend Malcolm Frazer's house. Good pianist and nice guy.
