Speaking of "Petit Fleur," here's a soulful version from the posthumously 
released Jazzology  CD, "Don Suhor—Nee Orleans Clarinet and Saxophone 
Virtuoso" (GHB/Jazzology, 2017). The sound and feeling are unmistakably New 
Orleans, and Don brought modern jazz chops and harmonies his life3long work 
with in the city.
