I was guessing: Ben Webster?




As per Wikipedia:

John Coltrane – tenor saxophone

Red Garland – piano

Paul Chambers – bass

Art Taylor – drums
Pretty amazing lineup.
A great sign - I have now heard classic  jazz 2 days in a row! Thx RP team

Instead of “Play Misty for Me” that movie should have been “Play the Theme for Ernie for Me”!

Hmmm Jazz, nice! Nothing like a bit of Coltrane to lighten the mood. Just need a bit of Hartman on vocals. Hmmm, nice!
RP has only 2 Coltrane tunes.  Bill, it is time to add MORE!!  Thank You!

Great recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder handled this.




YES! He was a pioneer, he introduced Neumann condenser microphones, while 25mi away, most NYC record label studios were using RCA ribbon mics, designed in the late '30s by Harry Olsen. He was also the first to adopt EQ (equalization) into custom built mixing consoles, while the NYC studios were using broadcast consoles with no EQ!
GODLIKE!!!

Love the way RP mixes it up.  While other places celebrate sub-dividing music by genre; RP gives us the holistic auditory experience and I just dig the way jazz is sprinkled in.

Can't agree more. Love almost all genres, this station is fantastic at picking good music from all genres.
