Nature Boy, Time After Time, Frim Fram Sauce among many.

‎'My Favorite Things' (1961, video) was Coltrane's first session for Atlantic with: (spotlight artist) Elvin Jones-Drums, Tyner-Piano, Steve Davis-Bass, Eric Dolphy-flute. Jones continued to influence music, bridging the gap between hard bop and the avant-garde. 'Elveen' is the younger brother of Hank (12:41) and Thad, oh yeah!

Sonny Rollins was sometimes called "Newk", which was the nickname of Pro baseball player Don Newcombe.

Post Bop, Hard Bop, Progressive Jazz, Swing, Big Band were all the stage of talented tenor soxophonist, Frank Foster (Sep 23, 1928, Cincinnati, OH to Jul 26, 2011, Chesapeake, VA). Playing ('til 2001), writing and arranging such originals as "Down for the Count," "Blues Backstage," and "Blues in Hoss' Flat," famously used in Jerry Lewis' "Errand Boy," (video). Remembering both on this Labor Day Weekend. HARD CHOICES Saturdays 11am-1pm KMHD 89.1FM kmhd.org http://hardchoicesblog.blogspot.com/ -Shawn K
