Thanks so much for the recommendations Charles. I actually own all three of those CDs, but I must say, I'm not a fan of Monk... I find him too repetitive. Perhaps its a finer point of Jazz I haven't learned to appreciate yet, not sure? Here's a few back at you that I've been enjoying:
1. Gerry Mulligan Paul Desmond: "Quartet"
2. Paul Desmond: "Feeling Blue"
3. Ben Webster & Johnny Hodges: "Complete 1960 Cellar Sessions"
