My favorite version is , like Jim, the one by Dexter Gordon.

Beethoven - Piano Trio No.1, Op.no.1 and Mozart - Piano Concerto No.12, K.414

Gheorghe has said that he prefers the Columbia sessions by Dexter Gordon. In my view his series on Blue Note are his best recorded work. I like Dexter's recordings on Bethlehem, Steeplechase, some of the other labels, and Columbia, but the albums on Blue Note are the ones I prefer. Different strokes...

Jazz in Sweden:1949-1961 - The Legendary Years Vol.2 of 9 CD Box

I share your enthusiasm for Shorty Roger's music. His albums on Atlantic and RCA are things I greatly enjoy. Yet, I never thought much of his trumpet playing. It was his compositions, arrangements and his terrific sidemen that made those albums so interesting to me.

Herzogenberg - Cello Sonata No.1, Op.52 and Brahms - String Quartet No.3, Op.67

Mozart - String Quartet K.499 and Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.4, Op.58

My wife and I have heard that Lincoln Car commercial on TV quite a few times. Could not identify the female vocalist that sounded very good. Googled it last evening and discovered it was Beverly Kenny. I had one of her LPs long ago, but never cared much for it and disposed of it decades ago. After hearing her on the commercial, am now interested to hear her again.
