Peter Friedman

Takin' Off would be my favorite. Dexter Gordon's playing is a key here. I have to admit to what is likely a minority view regarding Herbie Hancock. Though he is certainly a good jazz piano player, he has never been a favorite of mine.The are many many many jazz pianists i prefer to Herbie.

Schubert - Fantasia for Violin & Piano D.934 Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.3

I visited the K.C Jazz Museum this past summer while traveling from Tucson,AZ to Chicago and then back to Tucson. It was very disappointing. While there were a few interesting exhibits, the museum looked as if lacked upkeep and any updating. I suspect lack of funds was a major factor. On this lengthy driving trip my wife and I visited roughly 20 museums in many cities. Though I had been very much looking forward to the K.C. Jazz Museum, it was probably one of the 2 or 3 least enjoyable of all we visited.

Haydn - Symphony No.102 Beethoven - Violin Sonata No.9, Op.47 "Kreutzer"

Beethoven - Op.18/6 Schumann - Piano Quintet Op.44

String Quartet No.11, Op.61

A sleeper that swings and is very good.

Haydn - No.40 & No.41 Schubert - D.804

Alexander, thanks for recommending the youtube video. It was very interesting.
