Ludvig Norman String Quartet Op.42 Vitezslav Novak - String Quartet Op.22

3 LPs on this very good 2 CD set. It was especially nice to hear some delightful solos by Yusef Lateef on the first session.

Tom, I am a big fan of Duke Jordan and like most of his albums, especially those on Steeplechase. Though I prefer Jordan with a bass and drums, this solo session is very good. I also have and enjoy his other solo CDs on Steeplechase too.

Joe Romano was from Rochester NY. While I was living in Rochester, Joe would return home quite often between jobs, sometimes staying a for a few months. He played regularly in Rochester clubs, and I went to see/hear him numerous times. His playing in small groups and a local big band was , to my taste, excellent. every so often I heard a Sonny Rollins influence in his tenor solos. Joe played both alto and tenor. He played lead alto in the big band, but mainly focused on tenor in his small group gigs.
