I tend to agree with you and I can say the same about Mulgrew Miller and his recordings at Yoshi's.

Beatiful music. This one can also be added to the list:

I've always thought that Dodo Marmarosa deserves much more attention than he really gets.

These 3 CDs are among my favorite Count Basie recording. I think 1937-1939 can still be considered as early jazz.

I'm very happy with this box set:

My dear friend Nitzan Kremer infored me that pianist Dick Katz passed away. Nitzan was informed by Helen Merill. Rest in peace Mr. katz. You have done enough and now you deserve the rest.
