This is my first post.  Richie is AMAZING - I'm the only jazz singer that's ever recorded with him and we have a second record coming out in 4 weeks - the name of it is "Varuna." There are 3 brand new Beirach compositions (w/my lyrics) and you'll find 2 of his songs (Elm and Nightlake) on our first recording "The Duo Session." (recorded 1993)   I had to post because on your list I also recorded with Joe Bonner in the 80's on his "New Beginnings" album!  I had the good fortune of sitting in with Joe Henderson when Joanne Brakeen was playing as well!   All 3 are incredible musicians and certainly deserve more recognition.   Laurie Antonioli

I'll add a quick "welcome".  I think I saw you/met you with Pony at the Keystone, a few (ahem) years back.  I was something of a friend of Pony's during his final Bay Area years.  Good old days indeed.

Going through some old cassettes last night (yup, cassettes!) and found a compilation of Kenny Kersey sessions.  I don't have a machine plugged in so I didn't listen, but I recall how much I've enjoyed his stylings over the years...

I don"t recall seeing any mention of the fine Brazilian jazz pianist Helio Alves.

He has some good recordings on the Reservoir label.

Yes! Alves is wonderful. His two records with the Brazilian Trio are excellent too.

Heard Hilton Ruiz several years ago at Smoke sitting in with trombonist Chris Washburne's Latin Jazz group SYOTOS, and he was on fire. Have several good albums by Ruiz, but they're a little over-produced and not quite at that level.
