Well all I can contribute to this is that perhaps all of these are 
favorites of Bill Clinton because he can play a Sax solo on the melody 
of them all by heart as they say down in Arkansas  :))


On the other hand,, I was playhing Harlem Nocturne before David Sanborn 
was born. and furthermore I still am not going to play The 
Sheepherder's Lament, even if Art Tatum did play it, heck maybe he was 
into Ewe's way back them or toured in Big Sheep countries too many 
times and hung out after hours with sheepherders.   I always thought 
sheepherders were into flutes how did Tatum get a piano out on the 
rolling hills?  They didn't have electric ones in his day did they?"

in the still mortal lyrics of Sly Stone:   Theme song from "SHREK" just 
in case any of you missed the original recording by Sly.
We don't need no music,  All we need is a drummer!!!!   So the Dancers 
just won't Hide.  hummmm!!!   perhaps he had something there, since 
this tune hit about the time Jazz went out of style as dance music and 
became HIGH ART.  1960,s


Cheers,

    > Let's see, the last time I looked, with the exception perhaps of 
"My One &
Only Love -1953 by Mellin & Wood, the rest are Great American Songbook 
Tunes
or Gospel which surely qualify as OKOM even for the most square of us.<

A good try Steve!
But wot about the rest of the CD?
Here are the 11 tracks:
"My One and Only Love" by John Coltrane
"Harlem Nocturne" by David Sandborn
"My Funny Valentine" by Miles Davis
"The Town I Loved So Well" by Phil Coulter
"There Will Never Be Another You" by Art Tatum
"Summertime" by Zoot Sims
"In the Presence of Jehovah" by Mickey Mangun
"Nostalgie" by Igor Butman
"I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" by Nina Simone
"Take My Hand, Precious Lord" by Mahalia Jackson
"Chelsea Morning" by Judy Collins.

I'm with Mike.
Apart from the Art Tatum item, there is certainly no OKOM there for me.
But you knew that, didnya?.

Kind regards,
Bill.
