Francesca Tanksley who played for years with Billy Harpar, also deserves more attention. I'll be happy to learn from you if she still plays with Harper.

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.
