Gheoghe said: But that "V.S.O.P" irritated me, I thought about my then favourite band with all them greats. I must admit I don´t know who Danny D Imperio is... Its the drummer:

We find that also with "Lee Konitz composition" sounding like well known originals. Even with some Kenton and Miles Davis recordings where tunes sound familiar. Nothing knew to me.

Thanks a lot ;-}} Most things are "demanding" when they are new. Times and tastes change with growing age. Thats quite normal. Sometimes I like more to look back than go ahead. Jazz is an ever changing artform.

I couldn´t read who is on it. I think I have somewhere a Charlie Parker Memorial 1965 (10 years after Charlie Parker´s death Here is another one
