This arrived in the mail today, and I like it a lot. No weak tracks. Good for relaxing before getting ready for bed.

Well, you're welcome to disagree, but I'm quite certain that I have seen the Coltrane recordings referred to as a "power trio."

April 28 Blossom Dearie - 1924 Ann-Margret - 1941 Willie Colon - 1950 Chuck Leavell - 1952 ***** April 29 Duke Ellington - 1899 Russ Morgan - 1904 Donald Mills (of The Mills Brothers) - 1915 Toots Thielemans - 1922 I remember that Dizzy Gillespie once said, "Toots Thielemans would be the greatest jazz musician in the world if he just threw away that harmonica." Danny Davis - 1925 Big Jay McNeely - 1925 Carl Gardner (The Coasters) - 1928 April Stevens - 1928 I learned to my surprise not long ago that she had a big hit on her own about 1952. Ray Baretto - 1929 Joe Porcaro - 1930 He might be on a Lalo Schifrin album of Ms. TTK's. Lonnie Donegan - 1931 Rod McKuen - 1933 Willie Nelson - 1933 Zubin Mehta - 1936 Klaus Voorman - 1938 (Manfred Mann Chapter Two!, Revolver album cover, post-Beatles Lennon and Harrison, Nilsson) George Adams - 1940 Duane Allen (Oak Ridge Boys) - 1943 Hugh Hopper - 1945 Tammi Terrell - 1945 Tommy James - 1947 That's quite a selection!

I'm not a big fan of the power trio, so I imagine that I have heard fewer recordings of this format than many of you. That said, I've listened to CD 1 of this, and I think it is my favorite power trio recording ever.

TTK, is her show's music similar to yours? Maybe these will interest her. April 27 Kirby Stone - 1918 Connie Kay - 1927 Anouk Aimee (A Man and a Woman) - 1932 Jim Keltner - 1942 Sheena Easton - 1959 I'll keep looking.

April 26 Ma Rainey - 1886 Jimmy Giuffre - 1926 Jorgen Ingmann - 1925 Francis Lai - 1932 Duane Eddy - 1938 Maurice Williams - 1938 Bobby Rydell - 1942 Gary Wright - 1943 ***** Also a favorite of mine, radio actor Vic Perrin - 1916

Pinder was the last surviving member of the 1964 Moody Blues. On the other end of the spectrum, all five members of the 1964 Manfred Mann are still with us.

Mike Pinder, the pianist of The Moody Blues, has died at 82. RIP.
