Don't know Bianchi, so will have to go with DeFrancesco.

Great American Songbook or Avant-Garde?

GAS all day. (I think I'd prefer extreme flatulence as well, if its my own, than the Avant Garde.)

Still not sure if I can ask Percy France or Percy, France so ...

Gene Harris or Oscar Peterson?

Clifford and Red

 

Kenny Barron or Hal Galper?

 

There's a more recent question above yours, from jsngrey. Are we supposed to offer our own from any prior question, so we can pick and choose, or only answer most recent?

Seeking clarity only.

People just be grabbing the ones they want and skipping the ones they don't, so it LOOKS like open season (just not on wabbit!)

False dichotomy, on at least two levels.  first, it's like asking 'blue or square?' and second 'It's not what cha do, it's how ya due it.'  And you can have both, either alternatively or all at once.  Or neither.

Going with Goodson, only because it seems to have become a bit of the family business?

"Caravan" or "Perdido"?

"Caravan" definitely.  I know some people would be fine never hearing it again.  I'm not one of those people. 

If I ever hosted a jazz radio program, I'd call it Jazz Caravan, and "Caravan" would be the show's theme music (of course).  More specifically, Duke's 1937 version would always be the program opener, and the closing music would always feature someone else's reading of the song, a different interpretation every time.  

I love "Perdido" too -- as a Clark Terry-ophile, disliking it is not an option.  But I don't love it nearly as much as I love "Caravan."

 

Cootie Williams with Duke before he left Ellington to join Benny Goodman?
or
Cootie Williams with Duke after he returned in the early 60s?

I'm foregoing that mere point to gain the many plains of existence.

Good one, and a narrow choice, but I think that, despite the ever so very slightly smaller recorded output, Mitchell has greater depth and a wider vision.

Soprano saxophone or Baritone saxophone?

Baritone.

Bubba Brooks or Tina Brooks? (I'm sure almost all would say Tina but I'll just say, don't sleep on Bubba.)
