We all have our individual taste. The Ellington/Hodges "Back To Back" is, for me, an outstanding record. Duke Jordan has long been a strong jazz piano favorite of mine. His playing is very identifiable, which is not the case for a large number of other jazz piano players. I am a big fan of Duke Jordan, not only for his wonderful playing, but also his many terrific compositions. Currently listening to:

Grieg and Sibelius Quartets

I especially like - Bob Cooper and Carl Fontana Shorty Rogers and Bill Perkins

Am reading a biography on Mozart. Came across a section where Mozart met Myslivecek. He was older than Mozart, and may (?) have had an influence on Mozart. So I decided to listen to some music by Myslivecek. This is an interesting recording, but was unable to see a clear connection to the music of Mozart.

A strong Alto Saxophone player.
