Symphony No.3, Op.32

Beethoven - Piano Trio Op.97 "Archduke" Borodin - String Quartet No.2

Blues Bash and For Charlie and Benny are the ones I prefer. The others have some very good small group tracks, but would have much preferred the entire sessions without the Don Sebesky large group tracks.

A fine jazz musician - R.I.P.

I agree with you regarding the Sam Noto session. Joe can also be heard on Sam Noto's - "Notes To You" on Xanadu. Neither has been reissued on CD, but definitely should be, in my opinion. Joe's one CD as leader was on his own label. Joe Romano - This Is The Moment - Joe Romano 928 with Joe Magnarelli, Dino Losito, Neal Miner , Mike Melito Not sure about it's availability?

While living in Joe Romano's home town of Rochester, New York, I had an opportunity to hear him live many many times. Heard him play alto with a local big band about 3 or 4 times, and tenor in a quartet he headed numerous times. I preferred him on tenor, though he was best known for playing alto in a number of name bands. Joe was a fabulous musician,with a great deal of passion in his playing. Unfortunately he only made one small group recording as leader, but it's a fine one.
