The Canadians are everywhere - here is another one - Corey Weeds. He plays tenor, alto and has his own record label -Cellar Live.

Haydn - Symphony No.94 "Surprise" Beethoven - Symphony No.2

To my ears, players such as Eric Alexander and Scott Hamilton (to use just 2 examples) are every bit as good jazz tenor players as Junior Cook and Jimmy Heath. None of the 4 were/are breaking new ground or extending the boundaries of the music. But all were/are talented swinging players, and I very much enjoy listening to all 4 of them. It strikes me as peculiar that while bashing Eric Alexander or Scott Hamilton is common by some, I don't recall any bashing of Junior Cook or Jimmy Heath.

Mozart - Piano Concerto No.16, K.451 Brahms - Piano Quartet No.3, Op.60

Mazurkas - Op.41, 50, 56, 59, 63, 67, 68

A very good set!
