Peter Friedman

The Big 3 with a variety of special guests such as Pee Wee Russell, Bob Brookmeyer, Al Cohn and others.

I find it an enjoyable session, though not an outstanding one. Shearing made many solo, duo, and trio albums as well as the ones with his classic quintet. Shearing might be an acquired taste for many jazz listeners, and I have gained a greater appreciation for his piano playing over the years. Now Playing:

I have been watching an espionage type French TV series titled "Totems". There are a few scenes that briefly take place in a Paris Jazz club. In Episode 6 a jazz pianist takes a very nice solo that only lasts a short time. The solo was very good, in my view, and I am curious as to the name of the piano player. Wonder if it might be Rene Urtreger?

Symphony No.1

I thought is was quite good, and better than I might have expected. Now Playing.
