We begin with Cocktails For Two, written by Sam Coslow who was born
December 28, 1902 and move through pianist & composer Earl Hines’
work with Louis Armstrong in 1928 to his great solo and trio recording
done in the 60’s & 70’s. Pianist Michel Petrucciani, also born on
this date, gives us a virtuoso reading of Billy Strayhorn’s Take The A
Train.
