My guess is the piano player was Joe Zawinul.

Teddy Edwards appeared at a Jazz Party I attended toward the end of his life. He was not in the best of shape, but nonetheless still sounded very good to me. Was glad I had the chance to see him in person. Hard to select one favorite album by Teddy, but one of my favorites is "Together Again" with Howard McGhee and Phineas Newborn,Jr.

Haydn Op.33/4, Op.33/5, Op.33/6 - Casals Quartet

Not one of my favorite Dexter Gordon albums. Will not be listening to this one again.

Disc 1

I am also a big fan of Cannonball's recording once Yusef Lateef joined the band. He added a special kick that was like a large spoon of Detroit spice.

Claire Martin is one of my favorite jazz vocalists currently on the scene.

Op.132

Sorry to hear this sad news. Rebecca Kilgore was a good jazz singer. I have a number of her CDs and also saw her perform live about 4 or 5 times.
