Pickinstone says, how about some recommendations on some lesser-known pianists who generally operated in the background thinking like Duke Pearson,

Mal Waldron, and Duke Jordan. We got the Duke's covered. That's right. Why not Duke

Eleanor? Is he too mainstream for you? Pick and still? What's up? Yeah, I can see him in the

background. Um, have, how about some, those are all great. I mean, Mal Waldron, yeah, Duke Pearson.

Duke Pearson has some of the baddest, as a best,

Blue Note records that are kind of overlooked,

both for design and music and some incredible ones.

I can't think of any of them right now.

But those are really good.

Duke Jordan was amazing. I'm not as familiar with his playing, but not because it wasn't great. Other lesser, let's think of some other lesser. Okay, I'll tell you one that just popped into my mind. I don't know why. Anthony Wansy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah. So Anthony's like right about my age, maybe exactly.

It's amazing.

There's a ton of living players that could deserve a shout out.

Every time I hear him, I mean, I've always been such a fan.

And, I mean, we've known each other since maybe even like teenagers.

But somebody like that is, you know, great, maybe lesser known.

I just saw with a duo with Mike Moreno was John Coward.

John Coward.

That you played with on Brian Owen's last record.

John Coward's amazing.

Sounds so good.

Sounds so, so good.

Yeah.
