Peter Friedman

String Sextet No.1, Op.18

I have had this above session on CD for a few years. Kenny Dorham - The Shadow of Your Smile - West Wind 2049 The audio quality is rather poor.

D.959

Mozart - Piano Concerto No.5, K.175 Beethoven - Piano Trio Op.1, No.3

Kempff - No.17, Op.31/2 "The Tempest" Buchbinder - No.19, Op.49/1 and No.20, Op.49/2

Growing up in Detroit, I saw Dorothy Ashby live once or twice. Though to be honest, never found her Harp playing convincing jazz. Just not to my taste, but clearly some have different opinions.

Disc 2 - Fantasie Op.17, Bunte Blatter Op.99, Arabeske Op.18

Beethoven - Piano Trio No.6, Op.70/2 Brahms - Violin Sonata No.1, Op.78

This 4 CD set has one set that strikes me as out of character. The Barry Harris set has Barry playing with musicians who play in a style very different than one can find on any of his other numerous sessions as leader or sideman. Don Cherry, Steve Lacy, and Roswell Rudd are not musicians Barry has ever recorded with, and is unlikely to have played with on gigs.

Buchbinder - Sonata No.16, Op.31/1 Kempff - Sonata No.18, Op.31/3

Beethoven - Violin Sonata Op.24 "Spring" - Kempff & Menuhin Schubert - Piano Trio No.1, D.898 - Istomin / Stern / Rose

No.14, Op.27/2 "Moonlight" - Kempff No.15, Op.28 "Pastoral" - Buchbinder

There are (at least) 2 Howard McGhee CDs on Bethlehem The Return of Howard McGhee Dusty Blue Others on Bethlehem I like that were not mentioned include: Zoot Sims - Down Home Frank Rosolino - I Play Trombone Max Bennett (Septet) Pepper Adams - Motor City Scene I forgot to include two CDs by Oscar Pettiford. Oscar Pettiford / Red Mitchell - Jazz Mainstream (2 separate groups, 1 by Pettiford and 1 by Mitchell) Oscar Pettiford - Another One

K.515 and K.593

Beethoven - Violin Sonata No.10, Op.96 Tchaikowsky - Symphony No.2

No.11, Op.22 and No.13, Op.27/1

Piano Trio No.1

Symphony No.5

The music on this CD is clearly not my cup of tea. Rather dull and lacking in interest in my view.I suspect there are those who would have a quite different opinion. It goes into my disposal box.
