Georghe, Glad to see that you have not completely turned away from bebop. Just read on another thread that you said  your interest now is in music by Alice Coltrane and others. And no longer play or listen to Bebop, or Hard Bop. Some years ago I focused my attention on "Free or Avante-Garde" jazz. But after a while, I left that music behind  me. It was not providing me with listening pleasure.  I realized that the music I truly love has to (usually) swing and that Traditional Jazz, Swing, Mainstream, Bebop, West Coast Jazz and Hard Bop are the styles of jazz that bring a smile to my face and makes me feel good. 

I am the last one if it´s about fan of Oscar Peterson, but the few I can listen to is with Brown and Thigpen, where he is not so overwhelming. Night Train and We Get requests is more spare, more inside music than just banging all then 88 keys
