Thanks for this, Robert

Memphis piano players-there must be something in the water:

James Williams, Donald Brown, Harold Mabern, Mulgrew Miller all cite him

Guess what I'm digging out to listen to this evening?

Thank you, Larry. Indeed, the family is an important part of the Memphis music story, including Sam Phillips and Sun Records.

Thank you, Andrew, as always for reading and for leaving the kindest notes. As always, touched by your generosity.

Loved this! I listened to in your post and am now hooked! A couple of tunes remind me of The Vince Guaraldi Trio which is a favourite of mine. This was a great post! Thanks for introducing We Three to me!
