Glad you discovered Eldridge, Audrey. I'd be hard put to identify my 
favorite style of jazz, though, except to say it ranges happily from 
early New Orleans to modern jazz, getting grumpy when the music gets 
too facile within any style or becomes too avant garde, "smooth," or 
rock/fusion. I'm glad that others can enjoy listening to the CDs in 
those realms, and bless 'em for it so long as they keep the volume 
down.
