Whenever I listen to the Vanguard recordings, it sounds as if the engineer boosted LaFaro's sound to almost give him equal footing with Evans' piano. I don't think the it would have sounded like that live, only on record. The Vanguard recordings are ok - overrated in my opinion, relative to other jazz that was being played at the time - but I'm with those who dig the pre-Vanguard Evans more and with those who say that Philly Joe was the drummer for Evans.

Hope the article made mention of some of the Albany area jazz musicians who have passed. J.R. Monterose, Bobby Henderson, & Nick Brignola came to mind right away. I'm sure there are others. edit - Glanced at the article and I see that at least Nick made the cut.

Lee Konitz & Hal Galper: Windows (Steeplechase) Very good Konitz. Just wish I could tune out Galper's piano.

I am getting old. I saw this thread this morning and was going to respond to it. Then I saw that I started it a year ago. Have absolutely no memory of doing so.

Allen and Tiant are maybes for me. Tony Oliva would be another. I think that Jim Kaat should be in.
