Peter Friedman

Sad News! He was a damn good bass player. I had the good fortune to see him play live quite a number of times. And as Mike said, I have him on numerous CDs including a few where he is the leader. Ray was also the co-leader on 4 or 5 trio CDs by The Drummonds with Billy Drummond and Renee Rosnes

Cherubini String Quartets No.2 & No.5

Jerry Weldon is one of my 4 or 5 favorite currently active jazz tenor players. On track one he swings so hard that it brought a huge smile to my face!

I have a special Attachment to this recording. It was one of the very first albums I bought back many many decades ago. Also the tune on this album "Crazy Rhythm" features one of my alltime favorite solos by Stan Getz!!!!!

There still many very fine drummers currently playing. Here are some of the drummers, now on the scene, that I very much enjoy. Lewis Nash Kenny Washington Louis Hayes Willie Jones III Mike Melito Jeff Hamilton Joe Farnsworth

Op.55
