I read my own comments at least, and was a bit surprised that I expressed some mild criticism of Eric Alexander's playing. I take it back. No issues whatsoever. Excellent player. This is a relatively early Alexander record but I think it stands up as one of his best: Here is one of Scott's best IMHO And I agree with the very positive assessment of this Grant Stewart CD

Now: In one way or another I've been listening to a lot of Dameron lately. Five of the eight tracks on this CD are Dameron compositions.

Now: A very good record, indeed.

Some recent listening:

Now: w. Jim Hall, Steve Swallow, Pete La Roca - excellent
