Bjorn Johansen (Norwegian Tenor player) with the Cedar Walton Trio - David Williams & Billy Higgins

Mozart - String Quintet K.515 Rode - Violin Concerto No.7, Op.9

It has been many many decades since I read the book, so my memory may be questionable. But what I seem to recall were 2 major criticisms of the book. 1. It glorified drug use and made it seem that jazz musicians were mostly drug addicts. And the criticism about drug use was back in a time period when the general view about marijuana was dramatically different than today.So it , for it's time, gave jazz a negative image. 2. it gloried Mezzrow's capabilities as a jazz musician. The book portrayed him as a "jazz master" at the level of the many "true" great whom which he played.

While not from The 70's, this is perhaps my favorite Bobby Hutcherson album.

Haydn - Op.42 & Op.103 Volkmann - Op.5

These two have some good playing by Jimmy Heath

Disc One

We should not ignore the many many recordings where Jimmy Heath was a sideman. Only focusing on his dates as a leader does not by any means tell us the whole story.

Mozart - Piano Concerto No.15, K.450 Raff - Symphony No.3

Kirk Lighsey Quartet - Everything Has Changed

I share what Clunky said. Not an interesting jazz album.

There are quite a number of Monk tribute albums. This would be (for me) a strong favorite.

Schubert - String Quintet in C major

Disc 1

Onslow - String Quartet Op.47 Spohr - Symphony No.6, Op.116 and Overture Op.12
