Riccardo Muti - The Complete Warner Symphonic Recordings, disc 78.

Who were the arrangers during this period? Any Neal Hefti? I know Sammy Nestico is on Basie Straight Ahead, which is on Dot, granted. And Oliver Nelson arranged an album on Flying Dutchman that has a few standout tracks.

Piano Trios No.2 and No.5 - Pallas Trio

Nope. Sorry.

Do you have 'a' favorite ? I am curious ...

I'd say "one of my favorites"--along with Solomon, Kempff, and others.

Ellis is nice, the setting, too, only that the drummer's use of his kick drum and its sound are a bit obtrusve.
