Schubert - String Quartet D.703 "Quartettsatz" & Beethoven Piano Concerto No.3

Soren Kristiansen - solo piano

Great lineup of musicians on this very good album. Herb Geller, Kenny Dorham, Harold Land, Lou Levy, Ray Brown, Lawrence Marable

Gheorghe, I like "Homecoming", but it is not among my favorite Dexter Gordon albums. My opinion on the rhythm section is very different that what you wrote. Ronnie Mathews was a fine jazz player, but to my ears Cedar Walton, George Cables and Kirk Lightsey were far more interesting. I also much prefer Rufus Reid to Stafford James. Reid's sound and solo playing are top level in my view. Stafford, like Ronnie Mathews was a good player, but never did anything that stood out for me. Different strokes ...

Brahms - Piano Trio No.1, Op.8 and Rheinberger - String Quartet Op.89

Here are a couple I can recommend. And there are many more well worth hearing.

Ruby Braff did a long list of recordings on Arbors. They are all good, and some outstanding.

I agree!

Goldmark - String Quintet, Op.9 and Mozart - Piano Concerto No.24, K.491

Beethoven - Violin Sonata No.8, Op.30/3 and Goetz - Piano Quintet, Op.16

New name to me. Stephenson sings well, and plays some fine tenor sax on a few tracks. The piano player is also a very good"new" player - Julius Rodriguez.

Haydn - Op.76/6 and Burgmuller - No.4, Op.14

Fine Arts Quartet -Schumann - String Quartet No.3, Op.41 & Richter - Schubert - Piano Sonata D.664

Schubert - String Quintet in C major
