Now playing:

So sorry. Any chance of a cure?

The late Claudio was one of my favourites. Saw him twice: in a fantastic quintet with Paquito D'Rivera and with the Dizzy Gillespie United Nations Orchestra. Derek Humble? Jimmy Deuchar Dexter sounds cool.

Now playing:

I'm pleased to say that British guitarist Dave Cliff, who you could call a third generation Tristano-ite, is still with us: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Cliff

You're missin' sumphin'!

George Coleman Al Haig Joey DeFrancesco or Pat Bianchi?

Me too. Live seems to be the way to hear today's NYC younger generation (e.g. Bruce Harris, Emmet Cohen Trio). I'm not hearing much in their admittedly sparse recordings.

Glover, though both firmly in the jazz tradition.

Joe Locke Edmund Curll Barnett Newman

I know them, not from their recordings, but from their live performances at Smalls and Emmet's Place, both plentifully covered on YouTube.

Now playing:

Bergonzi Walt Weiskopf or Ralph Bowen?

In an interview Magnarelli named his Dameron date as one of his favourites. Plenty of Tadd on this too:

Georges Hearing Pee Wee Glick (Both inventions of my late musician friend, Paul Woodrow) Hearing's instrument, by the way, was the electric ear.

Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra or Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band?

Junior Mance Ben Webster Walter Davis Jr Jimmy Raney A tie - love both! Milt Jackson Pete Jolly (and don't forget Russ Freeman) Harold Mabern Illinois Jacquet

Very sorry to hear this, though pleased he had such a long life. I knew Peter well in the 1960s when he was teaching on the UK's first jazz course at Leeds College of Music. It was through Peter that I got to meet Lennie Tristano - at the Harrogate Arts Festival in 1968.
