Erroll Garner - That's My Kick & Gemini

I wish to thank everyone for posting all the Jazz music you listen to. I can't possibly play every one, but I do randomly choose to listen to this or that artist/album. Nearly always this results in (new to me) musical delights. For instance, I've played Oliver Nelson (via Tidal) for most of the day today. I really like this music - and I would not know about it if it weren't for Asimov's posting it a couple days ago.

My hat's off to all of you. Thank you. Thank you!
