Schubert - String Quintet D.956

Schumann - String Quartet No.2, Op.41/2 and Glazunov - Violin Concerto Op.82

Steve's best recording, in my opinion. He plays here with strength, creativity and intensity. Based on his performance here, he rises to the top level of Hard Bop tenor players currently on the scene.

Bop recordings from 1946 & 1947 by 3 groups - Stan Getz Quartet , Sonny Stitt Quintet & Fats Navarro. Quintet.

Haydn - String Quartet Op.50/5 and Brahms - Symphony No.3, Op.90

Mendelssohn - Piano Concerto No.2, Op.40 and Mozart - Symphony No.38, K.504 "Prague"

There are some wonderful solos here by Mulgrew Miller!

People that come to my house and see many thousands of CDs on shelves in about 4 rooms in my house frequently ask me if I am able to find CDs easily. I actually do know where almost every Cd is located with only the very very rare exception. Things are filed in 3 categories. 1.Classical CDs are filed by composer in alphabetical order. 2. Jazz and blues vocalists are filed in alpha order by last name of singer. 3. Jazz instrumentals, which make up 80% of my collection are filed by label, with labels in alpha order. Within each label CDs are filed in alpha order by leader. As has been mentioned by others, there are a few filing issues that are not always easy to resolve. When it comes to record/CD labels, sometimes the label originally used has been changed for some reason. For example, some recordings originally released on Riverside may have been reissued on Landmark or on Milestone. Classical recordings might be divided into music by 2 or more composers, say a String Quartet by both Dvorak and Schubert on the same CD. So it becomes a value judgement as to where it should be filed. The same kind of thing existed on some vocal recordings.

Martucci - Piano Trio Op.59 and Schumann - Symphony No.1, Op.38 "Spring"
