Piano Trios No.1 and No.2

My opinion is quite different. Though I began listening to Shorty Rogers when his records were first released, It was Shorty's trumpet playing that was the least interesting part. Some of the musicians in his groups such as Bob Cooper, Hampton Hawes, Lou Levy, Pete Jolly, Richie Kamuca, Herb Geller Jimmy Giuffre and - yes Bud Shank I considered very good, and far more interesting than Shorty on trumpet. It was Shorty Rogers writing that I enjoyed a lot.

I always have thought that Kenny Dorham was damn good on this album.
