two new composers this week
Pianist Kenny Drew, Jr., an inventive virtuoso with a modern sound and style, and trumpeter Bill Hardman, one of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers in the 1950s and ’60s, with a groovy Latin offering.
Two more great Ronnie Mathews titles from his Doin’ The Thang recording.
Another addition in our two versions series (like Filide last week), a Tom McIntosh composition with two versions, recorded by two different trumpet players in the same year: Bill Hardman with Sonny Red on alto sax, and Blue Mitchell with Junior Cook on tenor.
