Mark, Listening to a very large number of Kenny Dorham solos would seem to be a huge task. I just now had the time to sit down and listen to the four favorites you selected. Though I agree that Kenny's solo on "It Could Happen To You" and on "Old Folks" were highly thoughtful, and well constructed, they would not qualify as among my favorites. The other two you selected "Falling In Love With Love" and "Short Story", would certainly be on my favorites list. Two other Kenny Dorham solos came to mind, so I pulled them off the shelf and listened to them. After hearing them just now, I am placing them on my list of favorites. "Turquoise Twice" from Cedar Walton - Cedar - Trio, Quartet, Quintet - Prestige "Off Monk" from Barry Harris - Bulls Eye - Prestige I strongly suspect that if I had the time to listen to the countless other Kenny Dorham solos that have been recorded, I would find quite a few more to put on my list of favorites.

Jan Lundgren Trio

The Phil Woods - Little Big Band - Evolution on Concord is the only one that I have, and have heard, from this list of 9. I may check out the Charles Earland, but the other 7 are not in my areas of interest.

With the Kenny Clarke/ Francy Boland Big Band It has a very nice version of a tune I like a lot - November Girl. That tune was done beautifully by Carmen Mcrae.

Wow, absolutely marvelous!

Kaper had two tunes that made it big. There must be a lengthy list of song writers who had only one tune that made it into the Great American Songbook????

It was this past Sunday night. The Michael Weiss Trio did one night at the Century Club here in Tucson. Michael was joined by a local rhythm section of Scott Black on bass, and Arthur Vint on drums. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Weiss in person. He played with great taste and swung like mad. The only other times I have seen Michael Weiss live was 1987 in Rochester,NY with Johnny Griffin, and in 1996 in Vail, Colorado also with Griffin. I spoke a bit with Michael on Sunday night, and he was the one who was able to recall the specific years when I had previously heard him play live.
