Among the earliest things that grabbed me were: Stan Getz EPs (1952/53) Norgran Shorty Rogers EPs (1953) RCA Jazz Messengers at Cafe Bohemia (1955) Blue Note Horace Silver Quintet (1954/55) Blue Note Jackie McLean Quintet (1955) Ad Lib Hampton Hawes - The Trio (1955) Contemporary Dave Brubeck - Jazz Goes To College (1954) Columbia

Haydn - Symphony No.96 "The Miracle" Schubert - String Quartet D.46

Larry, interesting comment about the painter Alex Katz. When I was living in the Rochester, NY area, I knew a terrific painter named Tom Insalaco. Tom spent almost every bit of his free time painting, and while painting listening to jazz. The record he played most often was Sonny Rollins - "Way Out West".

Haydn - Symphony No.88 - Berlin Philharmonic / Furtwangler Brahms - String Quartet No.2 - Amadeus Quartet

This reflects my opinion completely. I could mention a number of albums I love a great deal, but they would only be a very small percentage of the much larger number in that same category. Here are just a few that come to mind from that lengthy list. Many others are equally favorites. Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus Charlie Parker - Dial & Savoy Recordings Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' Dexter Gordon - Doin' Alright Miles Davis - Milestones Count Basie (Lester Young) - Do You Wanna Jump? - (Hep Label)

Beethoven Cello Sonata Op.5, No.1 Schubert String Quartet D.804
