AND the cd has the GREAT Bob Sheppard playing like Trane on "Say It Over and Over Again" (Ballads CD) and also tracks on soprano ( the best today)and great flute (first heard it I thought it was Hubert Laws-- big fat low register Great musicians make great music! Highly reco this cd but it is sometimes hard to find because limited pressing as Breast Cancer Society charity <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_4805_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(4805, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(4805, false);'>No</a></div> <br /><div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful_outcome' id='myrp_4805_helpful_outcome'>Feedback: 2 positive</div> BTW– one of the my favorite recordings of “The Very Thought of You” is pianist Kenny Baron’s version on the CD Table for Two– just great combo of beauty and swing.

Check out this solo. The lick he plays starting at 3:19 makes the bass player smile -- and me too. His cd recording of The Very Thought of You is PERFECT! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dqg13BEBGE&feature=PlayList&p=A2D32543C851942E&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=27 <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_454_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(454, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(454, false);'>No</a></div> <br /><div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful_outcome' id='myrp_454_helpful_outcome'></div> Have to agree 100% Jesse b the man today on alto.

Though I play tenor, I always seem to go back to his sound and phrasing as inspiration....the best. <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_340_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(340, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(340, false);'>No</a></div> <br /><div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful_outcome' id='myrp_340_helpful_outcome'></div> Great post…I studied with Jesse when he still lived in NY and he is my favorite alto player around.
