I didn't know where to post this so I thought that this would be the best place. I just heard the most interesting track from the best of RR kirk titled " Variations on a theme from Hindemith"..really liked it, but the album is not on this website yet, so this was the only place that I could comment. Reminded me a little of "Blues on Bach" by the Modern Jazz Quartet, but of course totally different jazz palate. By the way, "Blues on Bach" was a relatively consistent seller for Atlantic right up until 1994 when I left record retail.

Reminded me of something that I would have heard on the Oscar Treadwell show...This was a jazz show in Cincinnati on NPR here in the 70s that broadcast the Oscar Treadwell jazz shows. He was a famous chronicler of jazz and was a fountain of information. He used to buy all of his records for the show at our record store...he really got me into jazz and over the years, I felt that I had a good foundation to expand my jazz repertoire. Stupid me, I didn't start taping his shows until just a few years before he died. But I still think that his shows are being broadcast on NPR station across the country...so if anyone out there has even a mild interest in jazz, his show is a good place to start. He programs each show and then provides the context of the music and a great history of the artist.
