le Beau - Piano Trio Op.15 and Mozart - Piano Concerto No.23, K.488

This is one of Cannonball's "light weight" recordings, but makes for pleasant listening just the same.

With all this discussion of Cannonball's place in the Jazz Pantheon, there has been no mention of Jackie McLean? McLean lived during that same time period, and to my ears was the major jazz alto player. I very much liked much of Cannonball's playing as well as that of a number of other jazz alto saxophone player who were on the scene at that time. But it was Jackie McLean who was my personal favorite.

Very distressing. I first heard Barry Harris play in Detroit in the mid-50's. He quickly became one of my Favorite jazz piano players and has remained so for the past roughly 75 years!!!! R.I.P.
